Can you Recommend a Hotel with A La Carte Included?

[OverwhelmedbyOptions]

Looking for all inclusive recommendations, Europe, late May/early June 2027.

We’re a family of four (kids will be 2 and 5) looking for a week away and would love some recommendations from people who’ve actually been.

We’re flying from Leeds Bradford or Manchester so anything accessible from there is ideal. Budget is around £6,500 all in for all four of us including flights and luggage.

We want all inclusive or full board, but specifically somewhere with à la carte dining as standard rather than buffet only for allergies reasons. Food quality is really important to us, we’re big foodies, so the restaurant offering matters more than the entertainment or activities programme.

Swim-up pool access would be a bonus.

Vibe-wise we want calm and relaxed rather than busy or party-focused. We’ve had Ikos and Sani recommended but they’re out of budget, so anything in that sort of world but more realistic would be brilliant.

I honestly feel like I’m going mad trying to find something!

Anywhere in Europe except Turkey and Morocco.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have to exclude Turkey ? . They do this type of holiday really well , we went to Titanic Bodrum last year and the experience was amazing . We paid 6500 for a swim up and Butler service for 10 days. The service was the best we have experienced any where in the world . If you are going for 7 days it could well be in your budget .

Thank you, that’s really interesting! I will have a look.
It might be a little illogical I just some unease around Turkey. I had a particularly awful experience in Egypt as a girl and I suppose it’s an extension of those concerns.

I came on to recommended Ikos, but see it’s out of budget. I don’t think you’re going to get what you want for the price you’re willing to pay.

Could you compromise on location? I think that’s the only answer

Egypt & Turkey are not the same at all. I hate Egypt but love Turkey. Look at any of the Barut chain hotels, although your budget may be on the low side.

Thanks everyone. It’s our first time travelling in school holidays and I knew it would be rough but I massively underestimated budget!

Hi Op, I felt the same as you about Turkey having found Tunisia uncomfortable as a girl . Absolutely not the same in Turkey. X

If Turkey is considered Paloma chain also worth a look . Not the highest end you can go but it’s good enough for friends of mine who don’t exactly slum it ! X

Turkey is fab and the best Ai in Europe (Imo). We’ve stayed at the Hilton Sarigerme and TUI blue tropical. Both fab. Second doesn’t have swim up rooms though to my knowledge.

Have a look at the MarBella in Corfu.

Eden Roc Rhodes - amazing food and lounge 800 for pool suites.

Turkey does have the best AI in my opinion
