Is that £2k for all of you? Or you, partner and child?

ashtonsmum,

Which resort / area of Turkey are you thinking of?

All inclusives are great, But not in Turkey. Just my opinion, go self catering and be served by a waiter, food and drink is cheap in turkey.

There are loads of brilliant AI's in the Antalya area of Turkey. Resorts like Side, Belek, Lara Beach etc they have everything that kids could want, on site waterparks multipule swimming pools, multipule restaurants etc.

If you think you might prefer the Turquoise Coast then in Olu Deniz you have Club Lykia World which is a fantastic place for kids also when we went it had outstanding food and endless sports and games facilities plus an on site watermark.

Best all inclusive in Turkey is in the Antalya region ,especially Belek where most of them are family hotels and geared up for kids with great clubs for them. The only problem is that it is a wee bit away from the town and shops ,but the hotels are fantastic.

Have a look at WOW Bodrum resort.It's coming up at about £1,800 for a week in June,from Manchester. This is with Direct holidays. We are going for the fourth time later this year. Fantastic location on it's own stretch of beach,a beachfront walk in to Gumbet for shops and restaurants,A la cartes at no extra charge,a kids club and water slides. Excellent quality food and service is fantastic.The view over Gumbet bay is stunning and there's more often than not a lovely breeze.Wish I was there!

Ive been to loads of AI in Turkey and they have been brilliant. The best are in the Antalya area but Ive been to plenty in Bodrum, Fethiye and Kusadasi. The food and drink have been second to none - if fact the only place i've been to where the AI's were better has been Mexico.

Its simply not fair to cast a slur on AI's in Turkey they are brilliant. The two I have been too had outstanding choices of food and drink, I haven't done a survey lol but I would think they are hard to beat all over the world. Am thinking of booking one myself for May or June.

I have been AI to Turkey at least a dozen times and never had a bad experience. The food and drink has always been excellent.I would never go to a budget hotel,you get what you pay for at the end of the day.Shop around and make sure you read the reviews.

I think it is always a case of getting what you pay for. If you pay a lot then you will get a good quality hotel but if you pay budget prices you wont and unfortunately there are a lot of really bad cheap AI hotels in Turkey.

Personally for 6 adults and 2 children on a budget of £2,000 I don't think you can get a good quality hotel. That is only £250 per person, the flight alone is going to cost almost that much, which wont allow much for accomodaton, food and drink. I certainly wouldn't recommend doing a budget AI hotel, they are often poor quality hotels with poor quality food.

If you do find something in your price range make sure you do a lot of research before you book.

We went to the baia lara hotel in lara beach, could not fault it, kids and adults entertainment was 1st class
