Summer holiday family of 6

a002

Hi everyone,

Looking for advice regarding booking a family sun holiday for 2 adults & 4 children ( 13,5,4,&1).

With covid & babies we haven't been on a plane since 2017 and I can't get over the increase in holiday prices. We are relatively easy where we go & dates wise. Would be able to go anytime In July up till mid - August, have been to las Palmas, and Benalmadena before and would probably go for Benalmadena scene again as there was plenty of entertainment for children.

Has anybody any ideas of where to begin looking for a large family to get good deals? The like a of loveholidays, tui, split us into 2 apartments even though we would get by with a double & twin room with a travel cot and even with 2 rooms would end up staying in the one place.

Hoping against hope to do it for under 2.5k, I can get flights to malaga in July for 9 nights for 1400 but accomodation is very expensive unless it's very run down/ dated. I'm not looking for 5* but just something reasonable with pool & activities on site.

Looking forward to hearing any advice / recommendations you may have

Not just loveholidays and tui be splitting you up, every travel agent would, majority of the places they have are limited to 4 or 5 per apartment, be illegal to have 6, even though 1 is a baby.

You're gonna have to suck it up and get 2 rooms/apartments

Hi, what is your budget and dates ?

1100 budget for hotel?

Yeah I get that just thought someone might have recommendation of larger family rooms like a few hotels in Ireland have which accommodate bigger families

We are very flexible on dates as work wise there should be no issue, just want it outside school time and mid August as latest. Yes ideally accommodation for under 1300. The 1400 flights is family plus with Ryanair so all baggage included. I can't imagine packing for children without 10kg each. Without baggage is coming in just over 1k for flights which would be ideal.

What is your nearest airport? Generally the last 2 weeks of August the prices drop a lot ,I know probably doesn't auit with kids going back to school?

Last week of June and option? Parents are pulling kids out of last week of school before prices rise again. Would you rent a villa as it might have a shared pool or a small private pool. Then split time between there and beach.

Even eat in a few nights to save some money
