It seems so!! Just want to go somewhere that is not going to cost the earth and we can all be in 1 room. Looked at the usual suspects, first choice, thomson..all trying to put us in 2 rooms...pls help!! Trying to go for about a week in the Easter holidays..

yes
I can confirm it is impossible.
We have three and tried to be all together. We have managed to get a suite but it is costing us an absoloute fortune
Good luck

First choice do the Princesa Yaiza in Lanzarote, which has two bedroomed suites which would be suitable for you.

we are going to florida and then st lucia but it is our anniversary year so a big treat.
But when I told DH how much it was he nearly cried.

It is a HUGE increase to take thre children rather than two.
Pisses me off

Have you considered a Youth Hostel? They aren't always fabulously cheap, but you can often get rooms with up to six beds in them.
Breakfasts are awesome too IME.

princess yaiza is £££££ though.
The only solution I can think of is to avoid the usual package companies and look for something self catering on the internet - book directly with the owner kind of thing. They are likely to be more flexible. Or what about something like kinderhotels?
Alternatively what about a mobile home canvas type holiday? Not sure if there are many that are in places that are hot at Easter though....

Pagwatch, if you haven't already booked, there is a lovely hotel near to Rodney Bay, called the Bay Gardens Beach Resort (not to be confused with the bay gardens hotel). It has two bedroomed beach front rooms at a reasonable price.

It is quite expensive Elliott - but the price seems more reasonable when compared to taking TWO rooms at cheaper hotels, we found.

Thanks Soapy.
I have already booked darnit!

I will keep that link for future reference though - just in case of course
