Default Trying to book a holiday--HOW HARD with 3 kids



Trying to book a holiday for next year but having mega trouble getting somewhere that will sleep 3 kids.

I want to go to Alcudia in Spain, to the Marte hotel complex but they only do rooms for 2 adults and 2 kids

Anyone know of any nice, all inclusive hotels that will sleep 3 kids

Good luck mate.
We went to Alcudia in '04 & loved it.
Stayed in the Lagoon Centre hotel. Not far from the beach & quiet in the evening, but close enough to everything.

Was going to ask you how old were your kids. Because if they are at an age where you can let them sleep in their own room, you could ask for 2 interconnecting rooms. Lots of hotels do those, but you have to request them as there aren't THAT many of them.

Hotel that have some rooms:
Hotel Bahia De Alcudia
Hotel Playa Esperanza
GRAN HOTEL SON NET - 5*
BON SOL - 4*
Son Baulo Hotel Mallorca Island

There are more than that and they are not all in Alcudia but I guess it's a start

Another thing I was thinking about is to find an Apart-Hotel. So you can have an appartment but the same services as in a Hotel. No cooking for the Mrs, still entertainment and all for the kids.... I don't really have time to look today but if you have't found anything this weekend, I'll take a look in the week.

Good luck!!
