Hi busymom,
We usually go on all in holidays. With Children it is nice, and true we don't have to cook, run around looking where the kids are, normally our children join the kids club for a couple of day's so they make friends and do actibities so it's a holiday for mum's too.
I do find that we do not really visit the country, but with children it is a holiday for everybody. We do make some day trips and visit a bit.
It is true that you must look at star ratings, they do seem to "recyle" food, it starts of as veggies and ends up like salads, we once had paëlla and the next day we had the possibility to take a couscous with paëlla sauce:eek:. You must look at what is included sometimes wine and alcohol is not included and they charge a lot for them ( my French way of living dinner is not dinner without a good glass of wine:cool:)
Enjoy your holiday

wen we went on holidays we always went self catering because we would eat out for every meal or on the odd day we would have breakfast in the hotel. my parents never cooked or anything.
on the earlier hols me and my bro were always to busy in the pool to b asking for drinks, lol.
but even at 18 yrs old, i was still asking for money for drinks, lol. my dad didnt mind tho, it was just hand straight into pocket because he spent all day by the pool sunbathing - literally.
ill be goin all inclusive wen i go away now the with my lil girl because it means we dont have to worry about spending money and if we have enough or not. i dont mind being by/ in the pool everyday. we did that in turkey. i spent all day for 2 wks by the pool, it was great, lol.

Wow, I say this with full respect as I do understand how people all differ - but that would send me and mine round the twist. So much so that we wouldn't even catch the plane if it had to be to do that! I've a Greek holiday booked, and apart from the odd evening hour the pool won't see my face. Sea-swimming is so much more interesting for a start, but there won't be many days we'll even be staying in the same village. We'd go nuts staying in the same place.
Reminds me of a big hotel complex I was invited to once for the evening in Tunisia. (I was living in the Casbah.) A huge place, many pools, and people obiously flew in "to Tunisia", got bussed to this complex, and never left it! :eek::eek: All of Tunisia out there to explore! I arrived to hear a pounding disco, a line of middle-aged drunks were doing the conga, I didn't find my contact who wanted to meet me there, and I cleared back off out! :p
(Apparently will be checking out various Venetian fortresses on my own hols. It does seem somehow apt. 🙂 )

fair enough its not for you, the 2 holidays before that were each 2 wks in florida, so we were always out and about, so we wanted to do something different. that holiday to turkey was when i was 18 and a few weeks before i went to uni, so it was meant to be my last family holiday. we went out a couple of days. me and my mum went to a turkish bath. we went out every night to eat and have a look around. it was just in the day we stayed by the pool.
is there lots to see in tunisia then? its on my shortlist for holidays next year with morocco, egypt, and turkey. i dont mind staying in the complex as long as there is enough for my daughter to do as she will be 3 and a half when we go.
