Holiday for family of 5 with great kids club

[Joolz1000]

Hi!
we’re a family of 5 with 3 kids. Looking for a hotel for next year’s summer hols which can fit the following:

1 room/apartment for all of us
excellent kids club for all ages (mine 4 -7-10) as we have no help at home and a club they want to go to is the only way we can get a bit of rest.

i really dont like massive resorts with constant loud music round the pool and an in your face animation team.
we’ve been going to candia park in crete the last few years and it’s great, but i need a place with a kids club for my older kids now but hghly reccomend there.

i can’t afford the likes of ikos or sani (in the dreams) and on the other end euro camp isn’t for me.

would love some suggestions! :-)

What about Mark Warner holidays?

Friends have gone to the one in Turkey and all their DC of different ages enjoyed it.

Am interested too- hard to find decent kids clubs for 8-12 yo.

I highly recommend Valamar Lacroma in Croatia. The kids clubs and facilities are superb https://maroworld.valamar.com/en/activities/

Club Med? Our extended family with kids from young toddler to teens have been consistently happy with the kids clubs. They do have some evening entertainment but it’s easy to avoid if not your thing (it’s not mine either!) and we’ve always found the adult pool to be quiet.

royal son Bou family club

Land of Legends in Turkey- had two resorts with free shuttles between so you could choose between the great kids club at the adults beach resort and the kids hotel with the free sundae bar and arcade/ water park and theme park for the family days.

Titanic golf deluxe in belek. You can get a family room, and the kids club is fabulous and had all sorts on offer. There's an Olympic pool which is 16 plus and also a 16 plus area of the restaurant

In the summer, hopefully your oldest would still be happy with the kids club at Princesa Yaiza in Lanzarote- if they like football then also sign them up for the football academy. Younger 2 would definitely be well catered for.

You can check the dates for the "teen club" (age 10-14) at Vila Vita Park in Portugal, again they have a solid younger kids club.

We have found some places that claim to have kids club up to age 12 but don't do appropriate activities for the older ones. E.g. Royal Senses in Crete.

Neilson or Mark Warner would offer the full on activities for all!

Other option I would recommend is a Disney Cruise- definitely rooms that sleep 5 and great kids clubs!

The Rixos is miles better. The LOL hotel itself isn’t that nice, quite dated and food options are limited. However the waterpark is right near by so that’s something to consider. Rixos has everything and a shuttle to LOL.

Check out Scott Dunn. They have absolutely the best kids clubs in various locations. Pine Cliffs Portugal, Sun Gardens Dubrovnik etc. I’m a lone parent so DD and I used them a few years in a row.

Seconding Royal Son Bou in Menorca it's amazing for kids, sad that my 2 are teenagers now and too old for it!

@Willowback we see lots of teens there enjoying themselves, now mine are a bit older oldest is 12 we will be venturing out and about a bit more, yes it’s great for the younger kids though. It is hard to find anywhere that rivals the location for the beach, 2 bed apartment with space for us all, short transfer and bus to several other places we like to visit!
