Posting here for traffic sorry.

Can anyone please recommend a 5* all inclusive suitable for a toddler.

Looking for somewhere less than 3hr flight, short resort transfer (less than an hour) splash pool, play area and excellent food.

Many thanks

Neilson Beachclub Alana in Croatia, or one of their other beachclubs. All have great kids clubs for variety of ages from babies upwards.
Not 5 star...but pretty faultless

Any of the Ikos resorts are great for kids with holidays. Sani is even better again but not quite all inc. worth a look though

Not particularly cheap but the TUI Sensatori hotels are fabulous. Great food and facilities.

The Stella Palace in Crete is lovely if you can fly a bit longer

The Sani Resort is absolutely amazing, absolutely everything you could wish for in a holiday with small children. Warm splash pools, loads of toys on the beach, childcare at meal times and the most accommodating staff. Even the beach is super child friendly because it’s shallow for ages! Food is fantastic and loads of verity, only thing I’m not sure about is all inclusive. It’s a superb place though and less than 45 mins from the airport.

I’ve also heard great things about the Ikos resorts, which might be better if you want all inclusive. No direct experience of them though.

If money not an issue then Daios Cove in Crete is AMAZING! Private pools in each apartment as well as shared, kids club, amazing restaurants (also healthy kids menu instead of chicken nuggets). V luxurious.

Another vote for Neilson Beachclubs (and the one in Croatia is my favourite). About 50 hrs of kids club a week, including some evenings until 11pm (so you can get off resort for a date night). My DC (2&5) adore going on these holidays and want to spend as much time as possible in kids club. Food wise, evening meals aren’t included on a few evenings a week and most drinks are not included. Breakfast and lunch always included. Loads of different sports included like sailing, tennis, climbing, windsurfing, fitness classes, cycling, wakeboarding. Really, really worth looking into if you’ve never discovered Neilson holidays before as they mean you actually get to have a holiday! 😉

We’ve just spent a week at Fantasia Bahia Principe and it’s been amazing! We are here with a baby and our older kids but have been joined by family friends who have twin toddlers as well as kids around my DS2 age who is 10. Not a long flight I think we were about 20 minutes for our free transfer which was perfect and near reception there was a play area so the kids went off there while it took a bit of time to get checked in.
We have family master suites which has a king bed in the bedroom area and an en-suite and tv while there is a very comfy sofa bed in the living area. The foods been alright but the kids have been so well entertained so I’m more than happy.

The tui sensatori in Tenerife was lovely - upgrade to the red level directly with the hotel and you get a good family suite and 2 kids clubs to chose from - my dd loved it.

The senatori in Cyprus was also very nice.

Both give you choices several of restaurants included.

Marring Hal in Sagres, Portugal is fabulous. Choice of accommodation from hotel rooms to private villas with pools. Excellent facilities, which include three restaurants each one with play areas, bar with massive play area (bouncy castle, pirate ship, playground, etc), indoor pool, three outdoor pools, huge sandy beach, kids club for all ages, cinema, and all baby/toddler paraphernalia.

We’ve been twice and going again in two weeks.
