Have you thought of Portugal (Algarve?)

We got quite a good deal with Jet2 holidays for this year, but haven't travelled with them before.
We had never been there until last year, beach was fantastic, and we thought prices in the resort were cheaper than Spain/ Majorca.

thanx for the reply Kate, any reccomendations hotel wise?

Not really- we only had a short visit there last year, liked the look and feel of it and decided to go back for a proper holiday.
We are staying at the Jupiter in Praia da Rocha, there seems to be plenty to do in the resort, and the hotel is very close to the beach, but that's all I know about it!

hi pauloDingle and welcome to HT! Could you give us a little bit more info, such as where you want to fly from, what board you'd like, what sort of flight time e.t.c.?

Okeydokey il get looking x

From Newcastle, no preference board wise or flight times. School Summer Hols. We really looking for a bit daytime involvement for the Girls (and no doubt us as well) and a livelyish place (but not 18/30) a tall ask without breaking the bank!

One week or a fortnight, and what sort of budget. Sorry to ask so many questions, but details like this will help us to help you

2 weeks hopefully, around 6/700 each more at a push deprnding on board?

Hi paulo

Had a nosey around the websites and IMO the best package deal I have come across in school holidays is:

Direct Holidays...Aug12th for 14nights from Newcastle...Tenerife...Hotel Bouganville Playa 2 rooms on H/B...£3475

If Algarve, you would need to go to Lagos or Albuferia, the later has a strip though & might be too clubby for girls of 15, Lagos has an old town with loads of bars, cafes and restaurants for an evening.

You are more likely to get a 'good pool scene' in an AI hotel - music playing and pool games. In Algarve there is the Paraiso de Albuferia and a First Choice Holiday Village.

Lykia World (bit isolated) and the Belcekic Beach Club in Olu Deniz, Turkey are both lively during the day but a bit expensive.

Another place you could look for an AI is the cheaper Greek Islands, Kos or Corfu if you pick the right resort should be lively enough - not Kavos in Corfu as it's club18-30.

Mainland Spain, one of the Costa's ? There are forums about all of them. Costa del Sol, Nerja was a bit lively at night time, but you would need to pick the right hotel for daytime activities?

The Costa Dorada/Salou is good if the 15 year olds would like the distraction of a theme park, as it has Port Aventura, they could get a three visit ticket which would give them a lot of daytime entertainment, plus there are two waterparks. Mainly HB hotels but at least your breakfast and dinner would be paid for upfront.

So difficult holidaying with teenagers - been doing it for the last three or four years - nightmare to keep everyone happy
In an hotel, would you want 2 rooms or three rooms. if you need two doubles and a single it will push the price up ? You may need to look for some kind of aparthotel which are hard to find.

thanx all, il be having a look at your reccomendations. Anyone go anywhere last year thats worth looking at?

We went to Lassi in Kephalonia and thoroughly enjoyed. We stayed B & B, but met up with people staying here

They had a 15 year old daughter and they loved the place.

Dare I suggest Tunisia
There are some great deals around at the moment and there are some lovely hotels there.
Port El Kantoui is a lovely resort and the beaches there are fantastic.
