Can't find a holiday!

[Sweetpea1989]

Going round in circles for months can anyone provide inspiration?

This September/october as long as the weather is reliable.
Sunny, beach, full board or AI with great food.
Swim up or private pool.
Looking for laidback luxury, I'm not keen on huge resorts with loads of people and daily pool entertainment is not our thing. (Hence wanting swim up or private) BUT it would be nice to have a few child focused options for my LO.
So a little bit of action but not too much, am I being unreasonable?!😂
Budget £3500.

We loved the Gennadi grand hotel in Rhodes, we went when our daughter was a baby so can’t really comment on children’s activities but it has private pools with the rooms and excellent all inclusive.

love holidays good place to look

If you're looking at Europe in September/October the weather isn't guaranteed as there's a fairly reliable storm that passes through the Med at least once during this time so you might be unlucky to experience it, although it's more likely to affect a couple of days, rather than wash out a week's holiday.

Your other sticking point is the combination of AI and a smaller hotel/resort will reduce the choice, especially on a budget of £3500, which is obviously a lot of money, but might not cover what you're after.

Here's the results of what you've said into the Jet2 search to see if anything looks promising. Have a play with the filters to suit airports/potential destinations.

But if you're considering full board as well as AI, choosing HB might give you more options, then if you have a decent breakfast later in the morning, you might be able to get through to dinner with just something like an ice cream or some crisps, cheese etc.

Liberty fabay is v popular amongst friends. We liked Arminda hotel in Crete.

canaries would be good for October.

Good advice on half board thanks.

We visited Rhodes last year so keen to try a different island.

There's too much choice in overwhelmed!

I should have mentioned we want a bedroom where the room is separated by sliding doors or a curtain for one my little one is in bed.

Budget £3500.

For how many nights? Including flights or not? If you don't go all-inclusive does this have to include meals out? (Apologies for all the questions, but as a minimum, 1 versus 2 weeks is going to make quite a difference!)
