Villa all inclusive

Hello
Up until now I have holidayed with my kids alone, my partner has come on a couple but we leave his kids at home. Basically been told after 6 years I have to now take them abroad with me and mine; we do do weekends in uk with them. There is 6 of us.
2 girls and 2 boys. I don’t want seperate rooms as I then have to sleep apart from him for the 10 days etc and I just don’t feel that’s fair. I already won’t have time with him as it is now they are coming (for context when we fo with my kids they entertain themselves in the pool, water park and they lime the evening entertainment and go off and do the arcades. His kids don’t. 1 may stay in the room the other daughter allows us no time together, hence I like going with just my kids.)

I need recommendations of sites or plaves that we can get an all inclusive villa style apartment with 3 rooms in. I have to fork the extra hill as he can only afford £200 a month. So if I want to go next year I have to make up the shortfall so I kinda need something as cost effective. Please can anyone offer any good suggestions

To answer your question more directly, for all inclusive AI, have a look at Eden in the Algarve, Portugal. We stayed in a 2 bed, 2 bathroom apartment with a separate kitchen and living room. The living room converted into another bedroom with double bed if needed. They also have 3 bed villas with small private pool. 2 main pools plus an indoor pool/spa and a splash park area. Kids clubs and entertainment. Only one restaurant but very good food. Not on the beach but there is an hourly minibus to Albufeira old town and the beach.

But my point above stands - he pays his way for him and his kids or he/they don't come.

Sorry, I know your question is about villa…but really, tell him to fuck right off to fuck! You’ve been ‘told’!! He can jog off while you have a lovely break with your DCs.

I still can’t quite get over the fact that even without your work and child maintenance you’re getting the equivalent of over £65k a year in benefits. I’m sorry but I am actually appalled

And someone needs to earn over £70k to get the equivalent net salary to match your total income. I know that’s not what you asked and you just have what you’re entitled to but my goodness me it makes a mockery of everything

Ok end it . You clearly resent his kids and don't want to be a step mum ,which is fine . What's not fine is your attitude and clear attitude about them . They exist and dont deserve your ill feeling.

WTF OP? He has a better work life balance and you pay for his kids to go on holiday?!
