Family holiday with allergies

Hi there I wondered if anyone could recommend any holidays or hotels / resorts in:
Greece/Crete/Spain/Ibiza/Fuerteventura/Gran Canaria they would recommend when they’ve travelled with children with allergies.

If you have great experiences of this but not in those holiday destinations I would still love to know!

Our 3 year old has an allergy to dairy/egg/soya/oats and we’ve been on a few holidays - mainly TUI holiday villages and TUI blue sensatori and while allergy labelling has been great and the chef did cater meals for her personally, the options were still so limited which meant her missing out on so much I.e no snacks during the day except fruit, no ice creams etc.

I’d be interested in hearing of any holidays which really excelled for allergy sufferers or kids and even those that aren’t all inclusive - does anyone have recommendations of hotels or apart hotels with nice kitchenettes where they prepared food easily with shops etc nearby? Ideally 5* hotels/resorts.

I feel like catering for my daughters allergies abroad is so important and find it’s the area that always falls short where we go and we definitely aren’t the only allergy sufferers so help a mom out - would love to know any recommendations, thank you x

We take snacks with us (nut allergy). We make sure we have packaged up little cakes/biscuits/sweets, enough for the whole holiday. Then if possible, we buy any safe snacks at supermarkets or hotel shops so he can feel like he's choosing something. He likes to go shopping beforehand though and pack his treats and he's got very used to not being able to have what everyone else is having. It's much harder with a three year old of course; he's older now and better able to understand.

Most hotels ime err on the side of caution so even though he would be safe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, they generally won't serve him anything that has any risk of cross contamination. So we just go to town on letting him bring his sweets so he's always got something fun! @
