We took our 10 month old grandson to Egypt in December for a week. He was fine on the journey and I think he spent most of the time psetering grandad.

stayed at the Conrad and they went out of their way for us, unlike FC.

He enjoyed himself playing in the sand but then again there were 6 of them to share the guard duties between!

HI. We went to Benidorm last week of November last year. It was ok to wear t-shirt/shorts, but not sunbathing weather. Loads to do there if you are taking your child, plenty of bars etc if you don't take your child. Sunny every day, temp varied from 18-22 degrees, much warmer than UK at that time of year. :lol:

You could try somewhere like Tunisia or Morroco...although weather can be hit and miss at that time of year...there is often a cooling breeze blowing off the sea - just make sure your hotel has an INDOOR swimming pool (many do for this reason) and you take a fleece for the evenings.

Flight time is about 3 hours I think. :roll:

Just got back from Titanic Beach Resort and Hotel in Turkey (Lara Beach). It was excellent from the cleanliness to the friendliness of all the staff, the entertainment, kids clubs, daytime activities for adults, aquapark, beach. Just everything about it is brilliant!

ok i'm looking for a holiday for my friend and i, and i'm getting increasingly more fed up looking! i cant seem to find anywhere that is near (preferably ON the beach) with a nice little town near by, with as few kids as poss in the canary islands - oh, and it's got to be all inclusive of course for around £550 for 2 weeks...??

anyone have any words of wisdom? supposed to be going around the 18th of this month, so it's getting a bit late!! :shock:

cheers

Try The Costa Calma Beach Resort Fuerteventura. There will be some children but hopefully not too many. We have been twice Nov & Sep the only problem you may have is that the majority of guests will be German. There is some futher info and photos on my website below.

i reccomend any Iberostar properties, spread across Europe. Having stayed in numerous, i can say that they are far the best hotel chain in Spain and now Greece.
One high reccomendation would be the Iberostar Torviscas Playa in Tenerife. 4* hotel and you could tell. They also have several properties in Majorca, and now in Andalucia which might prove to be the perfect get-away your searching for! :D

Hi. Just got back from Marmaris Palace in Icmeler, Turkey. Had a great time. Food was good, evening entertainment was excellent and there were plenty of organised activities in the daytime. As the hotel is practically on the beach there are many watersports available. Short walk along the sea front path to get to Icmeler where there are plenty of shops and bars etc, and a short bus ride into Marmaris for a bit more action. I would definitely recommend it. Only negative point is that some of the bungalows are a little walk from the main hotel and facilities.

Hotel Nautilus, San Antonio, Ibiza.

Excellent, value for money hotel.

This was my 2nd visit to the hotel and it remains a favourite for its location, cleanliness and service.
Not much choice of food but all is well prepared and hot!
Rooms and decor dated, but comfortable and very clean.

Agree with all who say, 'you get what you pay for'

Hi all,

I'm looking for our second ai holiday this year and hope all you ai experts may be able to help.

I'm hoping to spend around £1k for a week around the 22-24th September this year ofr 2 adults and 1 four year old, flying from Glasgow. Hoping to catch a cheap late deal.

We were at the Pegasos Palace in Turkey in May this year and had a fabulous holiday. We're not ones for returning to the same hotel twice so hoping someone can help us find somewhere that will match up. Also the PP has shot up in price since the great reviews started coming in.

What we loved so much about the PP was;

The great choice and quality of food and drink.
The "pyjama" kids club, ran from 9pm to 11pm at night and kept our mad hyper four year old totally occupied. Also a good choice of other sessions throughout the day.
Great weather.
Good standard of rooms and excellent cleanliness.
Not too far away from a village. We're not fussed about being in the middle of it all, but don't mind being a short ride away from a town/village.

Can anyone recommend anywhere that might suit and be within our budget? Have travelled in the past to France, Spain, Canaries, Balearics, Corfu (although would never venture there again!) & obviously Turkey.

Thanks in advance for all advice.
