Just got back from a Tui Blue for Families 3* package holiday to Lanzarote. We chose a family friendly resort because we have a 19 month old toddler who is still learning table manners and we didn’t want the stress of trying to manage her making a mess and noise in a classy quiet hotel restaurant. For that it was perfect - dinner started at 6pm, high chairs and children of all ages everywhere throwing food around. Also had baby club, an apartment with terrace so we would have somewhere to hang out after DC had gone to bed etc. There were also a few adult activities such as yoga on the rooftop with sea view which I partook in.
Overall happy with the resort but would like a bit more luxury next time, and happy to pay more for that if it exists, while still being designed around kids.
Would like better beds (am pregnant and the bed gave me pins and needles on whatever side of my body I lay on), better food, an extractor fan for the bathroom, would like the swimming pools to be heated (baby pools in particular were too cold to be used) and not to have to stand in an hour long queue at check in on the Lanzarote side because Tui had 4 flights leaving for the Uk within 50 mins of each other!
Aside from trying to find a 4* Tui Blue for families resort next time, what other travel companies have people found to be tailored to children (especially babies and toddlers) yet also have the levels of luxury we crave (we are not spring chickens, at 39 and 47, and have got a bit spoilt with better hotels and restaurants in the past when travelling without children)? Would love recommendations please!
Thanks
