Carl Fredrickson Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hi folks, I know many folk have yet to have their summer holiday but I am seeking out the wise advice of JKB for our family holiday next year. We have two kids (6 and 11 months) and normally go for traditional UK seaside holidays. This year was Butlins Skegness and then onto Legoland at Windsor. However, the Mrs now wants to go abroad and go all inclusive. I havent been abroad on holiday since the 1980s, the Mrs much more recently but not for family holidays. Some of her pals are currently in Spain all inclusive and she thinks it would be cheaper and better for us to do something similar next year. I have looked online at the likes of Ice Lolly, Jet2, Thomas Cook & Thomsons and the cheapest 10 night stay anywhere was just under ?1800. Is this about the norm and if not, can anyone recommend websites and locations we should be looking at? I am normally the organiser in the family but I am a bit out of my depth with this due to lack of knowledge and experience. Thanks in advance for any help!

Jambo-Jimbo Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Did all inclusive in Cuba (Few years ago now) Prices were on par with all inclusive in the Med, besides get in before the Americans ruin it. Cheap as chips when you are there, well it was when we were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book your own flights then use Booking.com for accommodation. We use this company maybe six or seven times a year and they are brilliant. 'All inclusive' definitely does not mean cheapest.

It's easy, I've done it for several city breaks, flights with Easyjet, Jet2, Ryanair etc, then book hotel with booking.com, travel republic, hotels.com, trivago etc etc etc. One piece of advice, make sure the companies you use are ATOL or ABTA protected and if possible pay by credit card because you have more protection in case they go bust.

Don't mess around then mate. Go to thomsons or one of the other big boys. Do some research and some sums. Work out the best deal in a resort that your family likes the look of and book it. Let them do all the work until you are more confident. ?1800 for 10 days all inc for 4 of you is on the cheap side. Make sure it's a hotel and resort you REALLY want before you book it. Anything up to around ?2100 is a good place to start looking I'd say. Depends on your budget obviously. Last time we did all inc we spent less than ?200 in extras between 4 of us.

scottish_chicP Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 We were in Lanzarote in June and going back in October. Wouldn't bother paying for all inclusive as there are so many good restaurants and it's so cheap to eat out/drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't a dig, more just that having been there and seen how they have to live I think when people say it'll be 'ruined' it's a bit of a poor choice of word.

Dagger Is Back Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I guess it all depends on what you want from your holiday. Your 11 month old is hardly likely to eat/drink his own bodyweight so that leaves the three of you. AI is great when you have kids who are always thirsty and asking for juice/ice cream etc. Just send them up to the bar and none of this hand in your wallet all the time nonsense. Being able to go and get a coffee/drink whenever you want without handing over cash or even thinking about costs is brilliant. Downsides are though that cheapest definitely doesn't mean best. It can get quite samey going to the same place night after night for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Having been to a few AI in the past, look at Trip Advisor and suss out what folks are saying, especially those with young families, and look for reviews around the time of year you're intending to go. Experiences in some places can differ quite a lot depending on high/low season etc. We've been to AI before where there's been a choice of places you can eat during the day/evening. We've also been to one place last year in Fuerteventura where everything was in the one restaurant. By the end of the first week we were totally scunnered and ended up skipping breakfast, lunch, having a sandwich by the pool, and going out and paying in a restaurant which kinda defeats the purpose of AI. I like walking out at night and choosing somewhere to go and eat. AI mostly knocks that on the head. Plus side re AI is no cooking and no visits to the local supermarket to buy stuff for breakfast or lunch or whatever. Not sure this is really helpful but ?1800 for 10 days for the 4 of you seems unbelievably cheap. I was looking for next year and was looking at well over ?4K for 2 weeks for the four of us although kids will be 18 and 15 by that time. Mrs wants to go SC as she's fed up with the canteen style approach in AI. In saying that when you've got little ones sometimes you just want to get in, eat, and get out again and your used to eating at double speed!

John Findlay Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 With children the age you have I would recommend Jet2 and somewhere in Spain. All inclusive would be ideal in that meals etc are all covered. Suggest your wife arranges this one as she had more upto date knowledge. Defo go AOL and ABTA protected after recent events. I suggest Spain as it is child friendly and most flights are 3hrs long. If you can try and get from Edinburgh if it is your nearest airport.

Part of the issue I think is the Mrs wants the holiday to be a complete break ie no cooking or dish washing. (which AL can provide but research will need to be done into what the resort/hotel offers) I would be happy with half board and eating out but the Mrs is pushing for AL to save on the juice/ice lollies/bevvy costs. Trying to talk her round to see that good budgeting could be the answer but I think with her friends going AL this year, she has had her head turned.

All what you say is what I have been looking at tonight! Edinburgh is our nearest airport and the wife knows a bit of Spanish which will help as I am very ignorant of other languages. If I let the wife organise it my credit card would be weeping under the strain as she would book what looks best without factoring costs I used to know a travel agent years ago but lost contact with them. They could have come in handy just now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is great being able to leave all of that to someone else and not having to be thinking about the cost of all these things as Junior asks for one thing after another - presuming he's like ours that is! Best bet I think is for you to use the likes of Thomson, First Choice etc. Added benefit of lots of these places is having kids clubs for your 6 year old too if that's something you'd benefit from.

Sooperstar Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 The only AI I have been to in Europe is the Hotel Bali in Benalmedena, Costa Del Sol and for what it is it is decent.

You're paying a lot of money so you want to make sure you get it as right as you can. It's worth the effort though. Have sent you a PM re that Elba place. We're all different with different standards and expectations but in saying that I know what I saw and what our experience was. You're spot on about TA though.

Tommy Brown Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Stepladdie and 11 mates are going to Shagaluf next week and booked AI. Says he has paid ?600 for 10 days. So, I looked it up on TripAdvisor and got entirely what I expected. This "family" hotel that caters for hens & stags and is going to make T in the Park look like a Sunday school picnic. We used to go AI to the Marina Skorpios Hotel in Majorca, very nice hotel and proper family atmosphere. It was always reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few resorts near coast if that's your thing. Lots of historic sights and beautiful landscapes if you like a wee bit sight seeing.

Alan_R Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Also after suffering with poverty for a long time the locals are casting eyes to their neighbours and seeing what tourism can do, they want on the band wagon and visitors are treated well. Albania is not at all as you'd imagine. Despite it's troubles they actually had an extremely good education system. There are still people living traditionally or farming in small villages but it's not a backwater like some may lead you to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Winchester Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I would recommend Salou. All inclusive, not the llongest flight and you have the theme park and waterpark on your doorstep. We stayed in the El Paso hotel last September onsite at Porta Ventura and thought it was well worth the money. Theme park and water park tickets included. Food selection was great, beer was the local Estrella which was fine for me and the other half was happy with the wine and cocktails.

We're going to Albufeira in July, staying near the old town which is about 2 miles from the "strip", plenty of restaurants and bars in the old town but far enough away from the lager louts. Also been to Cabanas which is a nice resort with a fantastic beach but there wasn't much there 7 years ago, might be better now but we had a car and there are some great places to visit nearby like Tavira.
