PLEASE help me find a holiday. It has to be near to the beach and somewhere hot. Preferably with water slides.

Not camping though.

Oh come on. (sob)
I had to cancel my lovely holiday. I am

Where did you cancel?

we are going to a fab villa in North Portugal. When do you want to go? It is 250 m from beach with own -pool and water slide park 5 mins away

And I can't even swim

Budget?

Cyb that sounds fab
We had booked to go to Menorca but there was an error with our booking so we have had to cancel and no rooms are left at the inn.
Budget approx £2500ish

We've been to two First Choice holiday villages in Turkey and Costa del Sol with good water facilities. Costa del Sol one not so near to decent beach, but bus trip away. Think Turkey one had food problems last year though, but we had a brilliant time there.

Or do you want somewhere near a water park? Ayia Napa and Limassol in Cyprus both have water parks.

How many DC? Ages? What style/class hotel do you want?
We actually went to Menorca 2 years ago with DD (she was2.5) and the hotel and pool were lovely.

2 mad ds's who need lots to do- will be 9 and 12
near a water park would be fab

Captain Nancy which hotel did you go to?

let me book my first 2 weeks in August then I'l let you have a look

Actually it sleeps 8/10...too big for you?

oh yes too big!
I want start of August anyway

just booked it arrghh! Can't wait

ahem

have a look here

the water park is on-site and the hotel is right on the beach

the resort is lovely, extremely picturesque, quiet and family-friendly (no lager louts, promise)

your budget should cover all inclusive for a week or two in early season

Thanks AF that looks perfick - but Ibiza! Will I be running into Jason Orange and all those posey folk all the time?

Sorry- Hotel Playa Princesa in Cala N Bosch

If youre lucky you'll be running into jason orange

ho ho he's not my type - wouldn't mind running into Howard tho'
AF - who did you book that hotel with?

captain nancy is it near the beach?

and who did you book with?

don't be silly corn
not all Ibiza is San Antonio

90% of it is extraordinarily beautiful, quiet, unspoilt and it has the reputation of the best sunsets in the world (can vouch for all of that)

we have been for the last 2 years and love it

it is like Majorca, but quieter, less developed and smaller (unless you go to the bang-bang resorts )

you said you wanted sun, slides, on the beach, your budget will stretch to a decent 3 star hotel like that one

btw, I don't have shares in it

We went to Portugal last summer. Lagos. But most of the Algrave is hot, reasonably priced and there are a couple of great waterparks down there.

who did you book with AF?
