It doesn't matter too much which country you go to, or when you go or even what the weather's like - for a family holiday to really succeed you just need to make sure there's something for everyone to do. While parents will naturally be concerned about making sure their children have appropriate activities to keep them occupied, it's equally important they are kept entertained and in a good mood!
Having enough space for everyone for a start. Depending on the age of the children they might need their own bedroom - the parents will no doubt appreciate this as well, not least because of the notoriously long time spent in bathrooms by teenage girls. But having your own private space for relaxing will mean that excursions or days spent on the beach together will be much more enjoyable.
Selecting a hotel with plenty to keep the kids busy is probably one of the most important decisions you'll make. Hotels with two or more pools - one for the kids to jump into and make lots of noise in and one for the adults to take a leisurely swim or dip their toes into - can be invaluable.
While your kids won't be too bothered about how much everything is costing, you'll definitely make up for their lack of worrying. While a great family holiday won't come too cheap, there's no reason for you to break the bank. A hotel pool is a good start for keeping kids busy on the cheap, but finding a resort with other free entertainment or nearby beaches can help keep costs down. A football is a cheap way to keep most kids entertained for hours, and will have the added bonus of hopefully tiring them out before bedtime.
A great family
