Searching the internet for cheap, self-catering holiday deals might not seem very appealing especially if you know that you’re going to be the one cooking all week, but such are the perils of budgeting for a summer holiday when you have a large family.When it comes to budgeting for food and drink though, self catering holidays can come with their on nasty surprises and therefore it is a much better option to pick all inclusive hotels where food and drink is included.
Families seeking out holiday deals can’t go wrong with Tenerife. The Ponderosa Hotel is situated just a short 15km from the airport and is in the centre of Playa de las Americas, a popular resort for many holidaymakers. The beach is just 150m away and there is a pedestrian walkway leading guests to it, and Puerto Colon is only a 15 minute walk away so if you want a change of scenery you can stroll down and watch the marina activity. On days when your children are getting restless or have tired of building sandcastles you can visit the Siam Theme Park, which provides a great day out for the whole family, whilst the hotel also boasts its own children’s pool and playground.
If you want to stay somewhere swish but that doesn’t cost the earth, you’ll find that there are often holiday deals available to the 4 Star Aquis Sandy Beach Resort in Corfu. The hotel is situated right on the beach, which is ideal for those who want to take an early morning dip in the sea to wake themselves up before digging into the buffet breakfast. Adults have the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy time on their own as their are kids clubs to keep the young children happy, while teens can learn a new skill by taking a watersports lesson. There is even an open-air theatre so ask at reception for more details and you could spend a family evening together enjoying something rather unique.
