'Luxury' holiday in Europe with 6 month old

[Sophie2]

My hubby and I are wanting to book our first holiday with our new baby for early summer. As we are so exhausted (!), we would like to book somewhere that has a creche on site. I have heard mixed reports abour Mark Warner and wondered if anyone can share their experience? or if anyone has any suggestions for other companies to book with?

Have a look at aspire holidays. We went to the elysium, cyprus with them in October. Very nice indeed. Sister hotel to the Alymra. didn't use the creche as with grandparents but looked excellent.

DONT do parentsneedpampering - the woman ran a series of fab one-offs one year which the papers raved about, then the next year she tried to do a more permanent thing and it was a disaster - absolute disaster.

We are almost certainly doing Simply Travel/Mousses again this year and cannot recommend it enough - it is stuffed to the gills with MNers. We've learned our lesson not to risk that summer holiday - it is just not worth it. Although we are tempted by the new simply travel place in Crete with the creche...

wow thanks for all the tips. Sani Asterias looks lovely, so off to do some reserch on that. First time on Mumsnet so thx 4 all the help.....

We went to the oceania club in greece with 2 littlies last year, all inc. great food, really child friendly but also quite glam, definitely felt quite spoilt but not too expensive especially early on (you don't want it too hot anyway)

Hi, what was the food like for the little ones in Oceania club? Like the idea of not having to worry about cooking for us or the little one (17 months) for a week!

Anyone been in April?
