Question

unfortunatly has to be in school hols

Answer 1

Spain or Portugal..... there are really nice beaches!

You can come to Brazil as well, hehehe

Answer 2

Spain, as mentioned, but why not Brittany, the Belgian coast, or Holland?  Much less travelling, and all have beaches, and other things to offer....

Answer 3

Club Med In resorts the specialize for children. If it's a concern there are plenty of single parents.

Answer 4

six flags

Answer 5

Bahamas.....that's as close as it can get, everywhere else has long flights...But if you're willing to consider those, then India might be a good option...lots of cool stuff to see there.

Answer 6

Don't got on a plain stay in this country and go camping, all the best hols when your older are the ones you had as a kid in Britain where things went wrong, you froze to death on a beach and dad broke all the deck chairs. These holidays make memories.

Answer 7

Try Eurocamp in Cambrills, just outside Salou in spain. Very inexpensive, fab accomodation (self catering) and loads of stuff for the kids, they`ll love it!!  Close to the beach as well!

Went to Benidorm with my 2 kids 5&8 and it was very cheap with loads of water and theme parks to keep them amused it was a 3 hour flight but worth it.

Answer 14

Costa Del Sol. There is a fairground by Benalmadena it is called Tivoli World. You pay for your tickets on entry and they are not expensive. However it does'nt open until 6pm. There is also water park and various other forms of entertainment that your children will enjoy. Tip if you do go to Tivoli World let your kids eat in there it is much cheaper.

Answer 17

Believe it or not, Ibiza is really family orientated.  In San Antonio town and Bay, there are amusement arcades, rides, bowling arcades, air hockey and adventure playgrounds.  There are loads of fantastic beaches with lots to do from pedalos, banana boats, jet skis etc.  Every night thousands of people go to watch the sunset outside Cafe Mambo and there is entertainment on the beach at this time too, with fire throwers and music.  Ibiza is one of the cheapest resorts to travel to (my bf and I went for the second time last year in June for 275euro each and there were families everywhere) but the nightlife is expensive if you are going to the big name clubs.  But as you say, you are travelling with children so that shouldn't be a problem.  Its cheap to drink out in the bars and discos in the Westend of Ibiza (thats in San Antonio) and its cheap to eat out as well with lots of places offering free kids meals with every adults meal bought.  Ibiza truely is a excellent holiday resort! People think its a party island, but its not really.  It definately has something for everyone.  Flights from the UK take about 2 hours.  Hope this helps and good luck finding your perfect hol!!

Answer 18

If you want to go to Spain, then I'd suggest either the Balearic's (Majorca or Menorca are the best for young children) or the canaries (Lanzarote or Tenerife for the same reasons)

If you're going out of season then I'd suggest The Canaries where the weather is good all year round and the flight is not too long. You'll find plenty of things for the children to do and the kids clubs are generally English speaking.

Have a good holiday!

Answer 19

All holidays during school hols are expensive but good luck trying! Try a foreign camping holiday, there are loads of very good camp sites in spain where you can hire caravans or tents!
