Teen holiday - help tearing my hair out !!

We usually do holidays where we move around a bit , hotels, villas, cities etc but our teen DDs have asked to go to a hotel resort with English / Irish teens. Not my ideal holiday but am happy to go along with it this year.

We’ve done a lot of Greece and I don’t want to pay sani or ikos money and they won’t get the use out or a Mark Warner or Club Med but does anyone have any recommendations of a reasonably big resort (not all inclusive) that could fit the bill in Spain, Portugal, Rhodes, Kos, mainland Greece?

I like the look of Dunes Douradas on the Algarve but half of DDs school go there !

If you like Dunes Dourades, have a look at Vila Vita Parc

Maybe that is where they would like to go (if that's where their friends go) 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes but I don’t want to be on holidays with half my neighbours!

But I see what you mean

No real suggestions, but just to say you will have a much nicer time if the children are happy and have friends to hang out with.

I have the same issue with mine and have opted for an H10 in Majorca this year. I remember going to this area when I was about 15 and there were lots of other British teens my age (I snogged a couple of them!). I'm hoping this time they will make holiday friends and leave me alone to read on my sunlounger. So fingers crossed.

I actually don't mind if it means I don't have to play endless games of pool/darts/air hockey with my 16-year-old son! So long as nobody pukes in the room obvs!
