Hello! Sooo frustrated having spent hours searching online for a holiday for next year. DS will be 4 and DH and I are looking to go away with him for a family holiday before we get stuck paying extortionate prices when he starts school next September. So we'll probably go in May or June next year. Ideally 10 nights or 7 nights depending on cost. Budget is up to £3k - £3.5k. Really like the look of Cyprus as it has lovely beaches for a European destination (sad we can't afford long haul Caribbean or Mauritius just yet and we want to wait until DS is older for long haul too).
We basically want a child friendly 5 star (or good 4 star) resort that's on a nice sandy (not pebble) beach with a kids pool (a couple of water slides would be great but not looking for a hotel with a massive waterpark on site). Good food is a must. Ideally half board if there are restaurants walking distance from hotel otherwise we would go all inclusive if remote. The problem is a lot of child friendly hotels just look soooo huge and busy! We were hoping to find something in between that would be nice for us adults too.
Anyway the beaches in Cyprus look stunning. What I'm confused about is whether we should stay in Nissi beach or Fig Tree Bay. Best beaches are there. We were previously in love with Olympic Lagoon resort in Nissi but have decided against that as it's not on the beach (and no sea view) and also it looks like I could get quite busy with lots of weddings. So looking for somewhere else.
Has anyone stayed in any of these areas with similar age children? Is Nissi beach a lot busier than Fig Tree Bay? So confused
