Hi, so this is a long shot but it’s driving me crazy trying to find a holiday!
I was hoping someone would have recommendations for me of where to go on holiday this summer with 2 very young DC.

I’m not too fussed on the country (but in Europe preferably due to kids first time flying).
I’d like a hotel that has a pool for the kids with small slides etc, and for the room to have a jacuzzi or private pool (as the kids will likely sleep early still) so me and DP can chill without disturbing the kids. The room also needs to have a separate bedroom else one of my DC won’t be able to settle. I’m finding this really hard to find without spending thousands of pounds. Any ideas?

Private pool, two bedrooms, summer... yep, that's going to cost thousands of pounds. You aren't missing something obvious — what you are asking for is high-end.

Not sure about budget as we went at Easter so
much cheaper but we had a room with a hot tub at Viva Sunrise in Majorca. We also had a room with a pool that was shared with the neighbouring room at Holiday Village Majorca one Summer. I don’t think it was that much more expensive than the standard rooms but it was a few years ago.

Utopia Blu in Kos, but it probably will cost thousands.

Lytoss Beach in Crete has two bedrooms and private pools and also a splash park however it's a bit pricey.

What about a villa with a pool, that way you get the separate bedrooms and your own pool. No slides but you could just take/buy out there pool toys and inflatables. If you get a villa in a touristy area you will probably find public play parks and some hotels will let you use their pool (either for a fee or just buying food there) if you're missing slides.

Thank you for all the suggestions! Kos is fully booked! But the other two are available and look good 😊
I did think about a villa so this could be an option. I just thought a hotel would be more convenient/easier to walk to places than faff around with transport

I stayed here a few years ago and it was beautiful. Awesome food (Buffet with fresh to order mains from a menu) https://lindosmare.gr/ Pools near by and right on the beach. No slides from memory but loads going on on the beach!
