Where Should We Go?

Hi all

I am after a bit of advice please.

I am a single parent to 2 boys aged 16 and 13 and I am looking at taking them away during the school summer holidays (eldest has already left school, youngest finished on 20th July). I definitely want All Inclusive for 7 days. I have taken them to Gran Canaria twice before which they both enjoyed but during our last holiday I could see that my eldest was probably going to find it boring if I went to the same place again or even a similar place (Lago Taurito, Playa Taurito).

The first holiday our first day was spent at home as we had a night flight which I avoided on the next holiday and would like to do so again. We live in Devon so Bristol would be better but would consider other airports of course.
.
The thing is I have no idea where is good to go with children of my boys age, moreso my 16 year old. Especially as I love to just sunbathe and read a book, go for a swim etc.

Can anyone suggest anything for me please?

Re: Where Should We Go?

it may be Price vs location there are a lot of deals on at the moment for Greece, but some of the AI hotels are an all-full long way from outside shops and bars, some of the best deals at the moment are Zakynthos [avoid Laganas [the party capital] and Kritty [Crete] around the Hersoneses area [again avoid the party area of Malia]

there are also quite a few deals around Spanish mainland,

you need to decide what you want [something that will partial fit all concerned] and if you want a package holiday or the cheaper option of dynamic packaging from the likes of Fleetway travel.Travel Republic,A1 Travel,Hays Travel etc

It very much depends on your budget,we've been home for 3 weeks after our holiday in Turkey.Our hotel,Marmaris Park, had quite a few amenities,tennis courts gym, kids club ,games room, and free internet in the internet room if using your own laptop.There was also,for a charge,parasailing,crazy sofa,banana boat and pedaloes .We didn't use any of these facilities apart from the internet.I think my 18 yr old would have enjoyed it, but he now prefers to holiday with his girlfriend.

Thank you.

That's the thing isn't it? 16 is such an awkward age, where normally he doesn't want to be seen with his mum but he says he wants to go on holiday!

I will take a look at where you went. So annoying that all the prices are sky high because of the school holidays

Have a look at First Choice, part of Thomson's they do the AI deals and used to be good on price, I don't know if you get discounts for your Children - hope you find something
