Recommended me a resort/AI holiday for October half term that still has a kids' club running?

Looking for a week's AI / Half board in a resort over October half term, ideally southern Spain, Italy or Croatia where there'll be a kids club running that we can drop off at for the mornings. A lot of the ones I've been looking at say the kids club finishes in September. Any recommendations? Budget is around £3k for 2 adults and 2 kids. Thank you!

Jet2 app is great. Filter by airport, dates, destination and kids club.

Thanks I've done that but for the ones that come up it doesn't say specifically when the kids clubs stop running, a lot just say 'season dependent'. I've bookmarked a few to ring Jet2 about and ask but would like recommendations too.

Neilson have kids clubs that week - not Spain but Italy, Croatia and Greece. Not really all inclusive (loads of activities included but not drinks and you have four evening meals out) but we love their holidays.

Thanks @UnaOfStormhold any particular ones you'd recommend if you've been to Italy or Croatia?

Holiday Villages run clubs, Ibzia one was great

Club Meds run them year round I think- DD went to one in January. Spain, Greece and Portugal have the kids clubs if any of those countries would suit.

Greece rather than Spain/Italy but Stella Palace in Crete. Likely to have warmer weather, although a slightly longer flight.

@MonChoufleur123 I've been to both Sardinia and Croatia and like both but they have quite a different feel. Sardinia is very beautiful, all set among pine trees on the shore with all the buildings low rise, lovely sandy beach. No waterskiing or climbing there. Croatia is a bigger resort which does have waterskiing - it's in a much more busy area and part of the hotel is a huge tower which is a bit of an eyesore (amazing views from the rooftop bar though!) The Paklenica National park is right next to the resort which is great for hikes or a famous destination for rock climbing - if any of you are interested in trying climbing, there's also a small climbing wall at the resort which is included. Another plus for Croatia if you're travelling as a family is that they have a number of family rooms with separate bedrooms.

I think the transfer time is similar though it slightly depends on where you fly to. Sardinia has road bikes including kids bikes which they can take out of resort once they're over a certain size (our small 9 year old was just in the right size).

The kids clubs are great, they get up to all sorts of activities over the week and can do RYA qualifications for a supplement. They are set up so every week you have four days 9-5 and then one day 2-9 so you can have a family morning and an evening out.

Thanks so much for such a detailed useful reply 🙂 They both sound great 👍

"kids club" at Neilsons is amazing, it's basically a week long activity camp.

Canaries are busy during Oct half term so will have kids clubs running. We go to Lanzarote each half term and my son loves the kids clubs.
