Many resorts are geared to families, offering extensive pool areas, playgrounds, kids clubs and games rooms.
They can provide parents with much-needed rest and relaxation but they can also be noisy and crowded in high season. It is important to shop around when choosing a resort, not just on price and taking into account added extras, but also on facilities including style of accommodation - apartment or hotel room. Look for special deals with buffet breakfasts, or even all meals included.
