What makes this Mexican oasis such a blissful retreat is the personal attention that you will be paid when staying here as a guest. It’s tucked away within the Riu Playacar Resort amidst a mixture of lush jungle and a world-class golf course. Not only does this hotel have a beautiful pool with the typical sun terraces and towels but the sun loungers are also partially in the water – just one added touch that makes staying here ever so special. And for those times when you need to put your feet up over dry land, choose one of the many hammocks peppered throughout the area and just bask in the friendly sun. When it’s time to go indoors, the staff here will make sure they’re doing everything possible to make your stay one you will remember for a lifetime!

Whether you want to try a game on the multi-purpose sports pitch, take dance lessons, or take a ride in a catamaran, you can do it all here and so much more! With scheduled entertainment both day and night for every age, you’re sure to never be bored here either and only have a spare moment on your itinerary if you want one! You’ll be able to get all your meals from the buffet restaurant and the a la carte restaurant is a traditional Mexican restaurant where you do need reservations but you can make them the same day. At the buffet you can enjoy themed nights twice a week as well as different cooking stations. You can also find wonderful buffet-style eating at the Beach Club.

This all-inclusive package does sit at the higher end of the price range but with all the amenities and features it has to offer, it’s most definitely worth it!

This Portugal package will offer you all the luxuries of a warm and tropical setting but the Dom Pedro Baia resort is nestled just at the bottom of breathtaking mountains and they not only provide for beautiful scenery no matter where you are within the resort, but they also seem to act as a shield, away from the business of the rest of the Madeira region. It is here that lies the Machico Bay, and not only do these provide fabulous beaches that are just 50 meters away from the hotel but it’s also just within 200 meters some of the greatest shops and restaurants on earth. It’s important to note that because the resort is located in somewhat steep terrain, it may not be a great place to stay for those who have problems walking.

You’ll be enjoying breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the buffet-style restaurant but unfortunately, there is not an a la carte option as there are in many other all-inclusive packages. What they do offer however, is also a poolside bar as well as a piano lounge bar. Drinks, alcoholic and non, are available throughout the day in unlimited quantities, excluding international brands however, the package does not specify if any snacks are also included, as many other packages also feature. There is daily scheduled entertainment as well as access to tennis courts, a diving centre, table tennis, and many other sport courts available including badminton, bowls, and archery.

There are many facilities within the resort however, not all are included with the package so be sure to check out www.directline-holidays.co.uk for full details.

At the Flamingo Oasis, not only will you experience luxury in a prime location but you’ll also have many choices of activities and events that will keep you busy all day long and well into the night too! Upon arriving, you may first be impressed with the luxurious marble reception area that will let you know right away that you are about to stay in style and if you take a stroll outside, you will see the massive swimming pool complete with sun loungers sprawled along the sun deck. Turn your eyes up and you will see the wonderful rooftop sun terrace where you can lounge away your days in the sun. There is also an indoor pool that is heated for the cooler months (should you love it so much that you decide to come back!) If man-made swimming pools aren’t your thing, you’ll be happy to know that the hotel is only 1 kilometer away from Levante beach, where you can soak up even more rays and enjoy some of the warmest and most relaxing waters in the world! But you may not want to spend all of your time in the waters as the hotel also offers many great activities including: a games room complete with board games, table tennis, darts, a sports court that is perfect for football or tennis, with tennis equipment available, boules, a gym, a Keep-Fit centre, and minigolf. The nightfall brings plenty of things to do as well including professional shows that have been toted as the best in Benidorm, a disco bar, a piano bar (note however that it’s for adults only), a lounge bar, a rooftop bar, which is available to all-inclusive guests during the day, as well as an outdoors Fiesta Flamingo entertainment area. Kids will get their fair share of fun here too as the hotel also offers a Kidzone area, a splash pool, and a play area, all reserved just for them!

This all-inclusive deal includes the full board, as well as all meals served in either two of the buffet-style restaurants and make sure to check out the Italian corner for some of the most deliciously-prepared Italian food you could ask for! Afternoon tea and coffee, as well as snacks and ice cream are also offered but be sure to check out the time restrictions as there are some and you don’t want to miss out! Locally-produced alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are also available from breakfast until midnight, so there’s plenty of time to get your fill! Whether you want to splash around in the water, take part in the incredible entertainment, or both, this is certainly an extremely affordable Spanish Oasis vacation!

Not only will you have lots of opportunities to have some fun in the sand n’ sun in the wonderful Turkish resort of Club Nergis Beach, there’s also tons to do for landlubbers as its just minutes away from new Marmaris! The hotel’s 3 swimming pools all offer parasols, sun loungers, and even huge cushions for when you want to relax poolside in sheer comfort and one swimming pool has a waterslide for the kids or just for those that are young at heart. But all of that is only if you make it to the pools – you may just get stopped in the beautiful gardens along the way! For when you want to get fit while you enjoy the aquatics, there’s a water gym as well as a regular fitness center for those who don’t feel the need to get wet while they sweat. Pool table, table tennis, and darts are just a few of the other forms of entertainment that you’ll find while staying here!

This all-inclusive package offers buffet breakfast and lunch with an open-style buffet dinner in the main restaurant. Make sure that you’re out at the pool every afternoon for the tea and cake that’s served and enjoy a local alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage any time until 11:00pm. Be forewarned however, that after this time, nothing else will be served until 10:00am the next morning. The hotel also has many other facilities and activities but there are strict restrictions on what’s included within the package so be sure to check out www.thomsonbeach.co.uk for full details.

It’s difficult to decide the best thing about this holiday to Gouvia, one of Greece’s best-kept secrets. Whether you are a sports enthusiast looking to test your athleticism, a family travelling with small children, simply want to bask in the sun, or be surrounded by some of the most aromatic gardens on the planet, you will find it all here at the Gouvia, Corfu resort. The hotel has 5 man-made beaches alone to choose from and each one gives way to warm, healing waters. Or you can choose to take a dip in the huge, framed pool of the hotel or the open-air whirlpool bath, both which have full access to sunbeds and sun terraces and the pool even has a poolside bar, in case you’re in need of a bit of refreshment while having your fun in the sun! If you love the pool so much you find that you just can’t leave, you can also enjoy your meals here with the buffet-style poolside restaurant. If you’re looking for something truly authentic, you can sample any of the delicious-tasting Greek dishes in the hotel’s main restaurant or when visiting from June to September (which this all-inclusive holiday is right in the middle of!) you can visit China Spice for something a little different.

You’ll never have to worry about being bored here as, besides splashing and sunning, you’ll have your choice of table tennis, tennis courts, darts, a game room, and beach volleyball, to name just a few. Evening entertainment is also yours to enjoy six nights a week with live music or themed shows. This hotel is also perfect for families as there is a Waterworld lagoon, open from May to October, a paddling pool, and a hotel-run children’s club. Add to that all the little niceties the facilities have especially for families including early dining, cots and highchairs, and there’s no reason the entire family can’t enjoy this wonderful vacation! What more could you want? For £649, this is sure to make everyone look forward to this year’s exciting and exotic family vacation! You can find this great deal at www.latedeals.co.uk!
