    Hi all,

    We are looking for a summer holiday 2 adults 3 kids (12, 9,2).
    Preferably somewhere with the sun and a bit of heat.
    Don’t mind if it’s later in summer like September or something.
    The budget is approx 3k.
    We don’t mind if it’s a hotel with a kids club or a villa with a private pool as long as it’s decent accommodation close to a beach and close to the town centre etc, or even on good transport links.
    I’ve had no look trying to find something in the likes of lanzarote and Spain and Portugal seem to be quite dear.
    They get cheaper the later you go but then the chances of decent weather are slimmer.
    Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated.

    Malaga is pretty lovely , lots of smaller towns and resorts along the coast would be cheaper, while you can still bus it down to the city, or even Granada.

    looking on love holidays for 10nights In Malaga in august the cheapest is 2995 but no pool- which is a no no to be honest.
    Next at 3425 has no pool either and after that it’s 5k plus.
    Flights for the 5 of us in August are coming in at around €1350 on there own with Ryanair.

    Fly into South of France in late august, get bus transfer to campsite.

    You'll get better value

    Pools, slides, restaurants.

    I booked Bella Italia, Lake Garda via booking.com one year. We went in September, Ryanair to Bergamo, pre-booked a taxi to collect us, 50 minutes drive to Bella Italia. Taxi Cost was about 250 return just before covid. Booked a 2 bed bungalow for 10 days. Worked out really well. Saved a fortune. 2 adults, 3 kids too.

    Fly to Verona, Ryanair, €80 for an 8 seater taxi. We’re just back from Del Garda Village and camping. It was recommended, quieter and more modern than Bella Italia, so suited us. 10 minute walk into Peschiera Del Garda, opposite direction to Bella. Weather was mixed though.

    I've got 5 of us, kids are a similar age, 11 nights all-inclusive in Rhodes, has pool, waterslides, kids club and right beside the beach. The room has it's own small pool as well, Flying out of cork for 3,800 (I know it's over your budget but we'll spend little on food and drink), had a look there, still some reasonable enough prices left flying from Cork.

    Delfinia resort, all inclusive

    Reviews are all over the place, looks like it'll be fine for us though, especially with what we paid. We went back to the same place in salo the last 2 years but the price had jumped way up this year so said we'd take a chance on somewhere else.
