Resorts with crèche/kids club

35 replies

Hi everyone! My husband and I have tended to stay in Airbnbs when we've travelled with kids, but often the holiday isn't very relaxing, just looking after kids in a new location! So we're hoping to go away in May to somewhere with a kids club so we can relax a bit.

The challenge is that a lot of places' kids clubs are 4+. We have a 2yo as well as a 4yo, so we're hoping to find somewhere that has a crèche/toddler club where the younger one can go.

So please, if you know somewhere like this, share your recommendations! Ideally looking at Spain/Portugal/Italy/Greece/Turkey.

Thank you!

Not the point but I would never put my kids in kids club. We tried it when they were 8 and 10 and my 8 year old walked out.

That’s because you didn’t put them in when they were younger.
holidays are for everyone.

@theeyeofdoe

It never occurred to me to put them in younger.

So you did put your kids in the kids club.

And mine love kids' clubs, especially DD2 usualy refuses to leave. They're not prisons, a good kids club is a ton of fun for kids.

l to agree with Kinderhotel/Familiehotel recommendations. Not in the countries you have listed, but they really are fabulous with small kids, everything is kid friendly.

Martinhal is now a Kinderhotel accredited resort I think.

My kids love kids club. Maybe we’re just dull parents.

Yes once when they were 8 and 10. I never said I hadn't?

Maybe I misunderstood the comment, but 'I tried to use clubs but my kids didn't like it' reads differently than 'I would never put my DC in clubs', no?

Another vote for Mousses, Lefkada. The kids love it. Same staff members and kids there throughout the week, and the activities are really good so every day the kids were really excited about going. My kids just want to play with other kids - they aren't fussed about anything else really, so the kids club is perfect for them. Definitely don't feel like they are short changed going there. They would be bored and whiny if they were with us all day.

Yeah I would feel a but mean. The kids always look a bit sorry for themselves. I work full time so like spending time with my ds on holiday.

How is this helpful to the OP? For what it's worth my DD loves kids clubs and was very disappointed that there wasn't one on our last holiday. So we now try and book a hotel that has one. My DS was not fussed about them, so he never used to go to them.

Back to the OP - Sani has great kids clubs. Been to both Porto and Club. It definitely has a creche.

Marco San Marco has a really fun kids club but can't remember if they take them from 2. Sun gardens Dubrovnik also has loads of activities and pretty sure it has a creche (though mine were older).
