    Default all inc summer hol needed

    Guys

    I am looking for 1 week in august somewhere, anywhere sunny and warm, for myself the wife and our youngest son. All inclusive, that isn't extortionate on price.

    we did the big disney florida trip last year and we both hated it, marmaris the year before, but the kids hated that!

    Can you help??

    Depends on what type of holiday you're after - just lazing around, watersports, sightseeing etc. How old is your son?

    Personally I love north Majorca, great weather, 2 hour flight, decent AI hotels, child friendly beaches.

    We went to Cala Bona in Majorca last year and can thoroughly recommend it. Booked it with Thomson and the Protur Bonaire hotel. We didn't go all-inclusive, but that is now being offered and is popular. It's a really good set-up, kids loved it.

    It's probably worth checking travel zoo. They often have holidays on there for a decent price and it might give you an idea of where you want to go.

    All Inclusive can mean 2 things to be honest.

    I have been on 3 All Inclusive holidays. 2 were excellent the other was terrible.

    If you go AI then go at least 4 star as a 3 star holiday will mean small plastic cups of shite beer and horrible food. We ended up going out to eat and not using the bar at night.

    My other experience was 5 star AI in the caribean. Awesome food with different places to eat. Proper spirits and beer and a top holiday.

    try icelolly.com or lowcostholidays.com for cheap deals

    Forget all-inclusive go to Menorca...Cala'n Forcat or Son Bou.

    Exactly as you describe above...the food and drink are reasonable.

    Ive been there the last 2 years with my family (kids 7 and 12) they love it its very family orientated.

    Cala'n Forcat looks really good.

    There are loads of similar coves all around the resort and into Cala'n Blanes...really secluded.

    Then the big beach at Son Bou is only 30mins away by hire car.
