We are planning to take our son on his first holiday in January when he will be 9 months old. Most likely thinking Tenerife or Lanzarote because the weather is decent and it’s not long haul.
we were initially thinking all inclusive for ease, but now I’m not too sure.
what would be easiest - all inclusive or self catering?
I’ve never been all inclusive but i’m a bit put off by set meal times in all inclusive as I don’t like the idea of me and DH having to go down for dinner separately and take it in turns. But then I’m also worried that DS won’t be easy to manage in restaurants, especially if it interferes with nap time. We haven’t taken him for a meal out with us since he was about 5 months old.
am I overthinking this? We want a stress free holiday, not too fussed about sightseeing etc. We just want a bit of sun and to get away from it all!
the idea of a nice self catering place walking distance to a little pram-friendly town or resort with some restaurants and a promenade, or town square etc sounds appealing. Somewhere where we could easily come back for naps if we wanted to but there are nice places to walk around with baby, and restaurants are laid back so it’s not too bad if baby is fussy.
does that exist? Or am I better off going all inclusive?
also any recommendations for hotels and resorts? We would rather spend some money and have a bit of luxury and comfort
