Hello,
looking to book a multi generational trip next year and the Ikos resorts look perfect. But I can’t work out which one is best!
kids range from 1 years - 8 years old, and then age 75 plus grandparents.
probably looking at June but potentially May half term to avoid skipping school!
if anyone has any personal experience on which they would recommend it would be appreciated!

in school holidays? not. a. chance.
outside of school holidays…. unlikely.
definitely only b&b with that budget

It's definitely doable for a week outside of school holidays, possibly 10 days, if you go early or late in the season. Not possible in school holidays.
I would look at Andalusia. Better choice of flights to Malaga and weather is generally good in April/May or October.

I looked on Jet2 holidays and got a week all inclusive in 3 rooms in late June with flights for £22k so it’s possible! Wed prob want to upgrade rooms but would still be well under £30k.
more interested in which resort is better. If we need to add £5-£10k to budget then that’s fine too.

We've been to a few of them, also on multi generation large family holidays. They vary in price- the Spanish ones being a bit pricier in general. This year Dassia and Olivia were bookable for a week in June at 1.6k per room. Andalusia was closer to 3k for the same dates/room type.
Interestingly, Sani resorts (also a popular ultra luxe all inclusive) had very good deals on this year with week stays including flights for £500 in May. So, it does help to look around all the various booking sites for the best deals.

Oh thank you! We looked at Sani and prices seemed very reasonable but I’m terrified of the “extras” there as I’ve heard that drinks are extortionate so o thought an all inclusive may be safer!

They do have some all inclusive options. This was what I looked at.
If it is any help, I love Ikos resorts. They are quite understated luxe, and not super snobby. One of the relatives who comes on our trips prefers Sani, she is very much in to her high end designer labels and being seen at the right places. I've enjoyed both brands of resort though!
