Recommendations for a chilled all-inclusive with two year old twins in Sept?

[southeastkat]

Hi all,

I am looking to book my first proper holiday with our two year old twins (and DH, sure) somewhere in Europe in September, but really struggling. I had found the perfect Grecotel break but then dithered and now the price has gone too high...😩

My budget is around £4k including flights, two adults, two two-year olds. Would like to had two separate sleeping areas and a balcony - ideally the dream would be a ground floor bungalow. My absolute must is all inclusive, but not bothered about "activities" or kids clubs - just a beach, a small kids pool, a playground. We were looking at Greece on the basis it'll still be hot enough in Sept to go in the sea. We don't want anything hectic, or "vibrant", just chill chill chill. Like Ikos vibes, on a decidedly non-Ikos budget. 😂

I would really appreciate any suggestions! I feel like I just keep googling and not finding anything. THANK YOU x

I’d recommend Marbella Elix on mainland Greece, it’s a fab all inclusive! We used to go to Ikos before it got so ridiculously expensive and this is the closest we’ve found in terms of quality etc but so much cheaper! They do a really great family room with 2 separate sleeping areas and there’s the option for a private pool

Thank you! Is it this one: https://www.thomascook.com/holidays/greece/igoumenitsa/elix-mar-bella-collection-2991162/

Yes, that’s the one!

Not Greece, but we took DS when he was 2 to GF Isobel in Tenerife. We had a garden bungalow with kitchenette. AI and a great kids pool and lovely adults pool which had a very gradual incline. Very family friendly and good value for money when we went.
