If you’re looking for a great tropical location to take a quick trip with the family, then this all-inclusive package to the beautiful island of Lanzarote is definitely worth considering! Here you can have all kinds of family fun while staying in white-wash apartments that have a very traditional look outside with balconies adjacent to every room and inside, all of the modern amenities that you could ask for! Within the individual apartments is a bedroom with twin beds and a lounge area that is great for spending some down time as a family and then can turn into someone’s bedroom with the fold-out couch.

During the day there’s tons to do for the whole family including a mini water park, mini golf, a play area and a mini-disco. The hotel does run two different children’s clubs for different age groups however, these only run in July and August and so you won’t be able to take advantage of those with this deal. However, there is also the separate children’s pool that the kiddies will still be able to splash around in.

For other members of the family there is table tennis, billiards, basketball, a tennis court, complete with available rentals, and an outdoor games area. At night there’s also lots of entertainment offered including a disco and an entertainment bar. At the adult pool, there’s also a pool bar should you become parched or feel like noshing while catching some rays and for the whole family, the beach is only 400 meters away for when you really need to get a good soak in (or a game of beach volleyball!)

When you need a little more than just a snack, you’ll also be able to take advantage of the snacks that are offered throughout the day and the sandwiches that are available in the evening. There’s also afternoon coffee and tea served but all of these are only served at select times so be sure to read the package and the hotel’s policies carefully. Of course, all meals are included in the package and are served buffet-style for breakfast, lunch, and supper.

Price from: £311 per adult

Spend your time in beautiful Majorca, Spain at the Hotel Samoa, a place where families, couples, and singles have been flocking to for many years in order to soak up some of the healing waters found here as well as some of the massaging rays of the sun!

Take a dip in the hotel’s swimming pool or visit the beach which is just a short walk from the hotel. Also close by are many restaurants, shops, boutiques and cafes for when you really want to get a taste of Spanish culture! The hotel also offers many ways to spend your time including billiard tables, a games room, and video games. 5-a-side football, volleyball, table tennis, aerobics and water sports are also all offered here as well as daytime and nighttime regularly scheduled entertainment. Kids will have plenty to keep them entertained with a special children’s program, games, themed parties, and even a mini-disco. And they’ll have all the soda and ice cream that they could want from 10am – midnight every day!

This all-inclusive package includes all meals in the buffet-style restaurant and snacks served between 10am – 6pm. Every afternoon tea and biscuits will also be served and between 10am – midnight every day for the adults, unlimited soda and alcoholic drinks are available. All of this for £311, and it may just be one of the cheapest all-inclusive packages offered! It can be found at www.latedeals.co.uk.

Resort: Caribbean Princess
Duration: 7 nights
Board Basis: All Inclusive

The Caribbean Princess is in Cancun’s hotel zone and overlooks the beautiful Nichupte lagoon. The hotel has some activities and amenities but if you are looking for stuff to keep you occupied the entire time you’re there, you may have to take a bus ride into downtown Cancun, where there are some malls and entertainment centres, as there really isn’t much in this package, considering that it is in Cancun and sits in the higher end of the price range.

This hotel has 2 swimming pools, one for adults and one for children and unfortunately, the children’s pool is the only specialty that the resort offers for the younger crowd. There is also a waterslide, pool bar, and poolside whirlpool bath. If you’re looking for daytime entertainment around the resort, here there are very few but they include kayaking, table tennis, a mini gym, and structured games around the pool. The evening entertainment is described on the www.thomsonbeach.co.uk website as ‘low key’ and the Eclipse lobby bar is also available to share a cocktail with a friend during the evening hours. Meals will be provided by the Sunset Restaurant, which does have the advantage of having both a buffet as well as an a la carte menu and Otto’s snack bar is also ready for when you need to nosh in between meals!

The all-inclusive package meets just the bare necessities to be considered ‘all-inclusive’ but do include full board and snacks. Some food and alcohol are provided but these too have restrictions on them. For £819, you can probably find a better deal to Cancun.
