Help with Croatia, Sardinia, Menorca

[meeri]

Hello, like so many others here, I seem to spend endless evenings looking for a holiday for June and cannot decide where to go! I miss the old times walking into travel agents rather than reading through tripadvisor....

Up until now we've been on self-arranged holidays with our toddler but want to give packages a try. Anyway, a few basics: holiday somewhere warm with a 2-year old, beach, not too touristy/tacky, budget around £2k.

Does anyone have any tips on Croatia, Sardinia or Menorca?

Also we're thinking of doing all inclusive because of the euro (and I don't want to think about meals for a change!), any thoughts on that?

Thanks!

Croatia's not in the Euro, and seems to be widely tipped to be a good-value destination for 2010.

Lovely too!

Thanks for the quick reply, I thought that was the case with Croatia! Any suggestions where to go there?

Never been on a package there, so don't really know what's on offer, but some areas around Dubrovnik is lovely and the city is definitely worth a day trip to go and see. Korcula's fascinating too, like its been frozen in time.

Hvar is a bit more cosmopolitan and the island of Brac has a really long sandy beach with a few more resort type places there.

Most places are pretty quiet and laid back (Dubrovnik gets lots of coach trips but is all pedestrianised and bustling, not stressful busy IYSWIM, while Hvar is busy in a people-watching kind of way). The food is a sort of combination between Greek and Italian (lots of seafood, steaks, some risottos etc) although that's probably less of a concern if you're all inclusive.

I'd probably go with an English operator as I think there's a slightly old-fashioned approach to health & safety on a few things (noticed motor boats driving through swimming areas etc).

Hope that helps a little!
