    Hi, Looking for recomendations.

    Early July. 7 - 10 days
    2 adults and 2 kids
    Kids are 3 and 9
    Consider anywhere sunny within 4 hours flight give or take
    Preferably all inclusive - but would consider half board.

    Budget is 3-4k (incl flights)


    Proximity to the beach is not a big deal as we will probably only spend one day there.
    High on the wishlist is a really good pool area for the kids and daytime activities.


    We went on a TUI holiday (in Salou) 2 years ago and really liked the hotel for food, pool facilities/ daytime and night time games/entertainment etc
    But really hated that everything closed in the hotel at 11pm and you couldn't even buy a drink at the bar... maybe this is normal - we haven't gone on that many foreign holidays as a family.

    Appreciate any help at all in narrowing it down, been looking around online and it all seems very daunting :)
    Thanks

    Martinhal hotel, Cascais, Portugal. Super pools, 35 min train ride to Lisbon, 5 mins to coast for sea swimming. Amazing facilities, family focused.

    I'd recommend the holiday villages with kids that age. Been to Portugal and Majorca. Both good. Majorca a bit more expensive. Both had great pools and its focussed on the kids and activities. Go at the right time of year and you may get it within budget, avoiding July and August.

    Funny you mention it....we ended up booking a holiday village in Ibiza.
    Thanks.
