Quality holiday destinations required, two kids under 4.

[Lennox]

As per the title I need to find a few new holiday destinations.

We go to the same place every year because it's awesome but being on the verge of booking it twice this year I'm opening up to the possibility there are equally if not better places.

Requirements:
1. Must be kiddy friendly (kids are 3 and 1), kids club with nanny service if possible
2. Happy to pay up to circa £4k per week in total
3. Beach front / cove preferable
4. Hotel does multiple rooms and split rooms
4. Close to a town/city
5. Low to zero on the football shirt count, I'm not posh but it definitely classes places. (sorry)

Here's the place we have been going to for the past 14 years...... Please don't go, it's busy enough!

I like point 5. Not seen the requirement stated like that before. I may borrow the expression. It's a very precise way of stating what you mean.

Anyone?

Ikos Oceania or Ikos Olivia in Greece. Zero football shirt count. Amazing place. We went there last summer but it was £5,200 for 7 nights....

If it helps I am mega fussy about not being around Brits abroad. This place was recommended to us by multiple trusted friends. Despite being 100% all inclusive with every type of drink available I never once saw anyone drunk or remotely drunk. No shouting. No swearing. Just nice similar minded families enjoying the facilities. Could not rate it highly enough.

Oceania | Ikos Resorts

Just wondering on point 1.
Why do you want a kids club and nanny service for a 3 & a 1 year old?

Good question. We’ve travelled a lot with our 2-year old (Australia, Mongolia, Switzerland, Maldives, Hong Kong, Vietnam) and cherish every minute we can enjoy with her. We think that’s what family holidays are all about: time together.

I usually go into the kids club with the 3 year old but I believe in them getting a break from us if they wish it. She loves her own space... The staff are simply amazing. The wee man's just about here too.

Without having to explain myself I recently dropped a highly lucrative job to be a at home 4 days a week dad and I'm home for bath time everyday. So no issue with time spent. I'm probably in the top 1% in that respect.

Nanny is for evenings, the Hillside pair you up with a primary carer that can do a few evenings. We often pop onto Fethiye for some [emoji183][emoji383] shopping. Ok during the day, not for babies at night. Saying that we usually have the grandparents with us but not this year.

Not wanting to know the why’s and wherefore’s, I would say your change to being at home with your little ones with far less money was the best thing you did. I’ve done the same and don’t regret it one bit. I made the mistake of working my sphericals off to earn good money for my first family, resulting in stress issues that led to divorce and missing out on my kids growing up. I can now spend as much time as I want with my daughter and I love every minute, those minutes are priceless. And as a bonus I’m planning on going on Mastermind with my specialist subject being Peppa Pig
