Hotel with basic watersports included

Hi
looking for a family hotel where watersports are included as part of the stay, eg stand-up paddle, kayaks etc. not motorised.
greece, turkey, Spain etc
Doesn’t have to be all inclusive. I just want activities for my old kids and not be pestered for 30€ every half hour. We are flexible on the kind of hotel and board. Doesnt have to be luxury. Our usual holiday is a euro camp style one.

neilson/clubmed dates don’t work for us as we are restricted to Thursday to Wednesday.

all recommendations gratefully received

you could try Club la Santa as you're not tied to specific dates, just book an apartment with them (which includes all activities) and then book your own flights.

Watching! I’d like the same, in the Med. It seems to be common to include SUP and kayaks in tropical resorts but not Europe.

You could look at Beyond Beach and Nikiana beach, these include a whole bunch of non motorised watersports but they are very watersports centric which may not be what you want!

Club La Santa in Lanzarote? Available via Tui and the likes or book direct.

Ooh I haven’t seen club La Santa as a package @CornishPorsche does that include transfers?

I think it's an insurance thing. In France it's pretty much mandatory to wear a buoyancy aid and sign millions of waivers.

Ah just looked and it's not there for this year - perhaps they don't do it any more?

I’ve never seen or heard of it the last few years. Been twice and never seen any evidence of Brits doing it as a package.

Thank you. I hadn’t thought this might be the reason.

Thanks all. I went to Club la Santa in 1992 and the underfloor gaps between the tiles were infested with cockroaches. Is this still the case?

No idea what tiles you’re even talking about but never had an issue with cockroaches!

You could order a paddle board to the hotel to arrive at the same time as you. Basic ones aren't expensive, although it does feel a bit wasteful

How about Mark Warner?
I’ve recently returned from Aeolian Beach resort and that was Wednesday-Wednesday flights.
