Desperate advice - nice hotel with brilliant kids clubs for xmas

(18 Posts)

We have decided to go away at xmas. However everywhere we find the weather does not appear any good at all - e.g. Morocco (raining) so DH now talking about Canaries. Am I right in thinking that Tenerife is best place to go for sun?

As my in laws are coming the hotel needs to be good but most important it needs very good kids facilities - kids club etc. children are 3.5 and 2.

Please can someone recommend somewhere they have been where weather should be pleasant and ease my headache.

Many thanks

Not in the nice hotels - Ritz Carlton is lovely but £££££, Hiltons Waterfalls is also nice and a lot cheaper - all the hotels have barriers, security etc and are really safe. Wouldn't bother leaving the hotels for Naama Bay - really tacky, and that's I guess where there is more risk of trouble, if there is any at all.

Not sure when the last terrorist attack was, but it was a long while ago, I think....

Sharm - we had been looking at that - then someone put wind up DH that are all extremists and tourists are in danger - I know ridiculous but think that has mullered that idea - and it did look v nice

Another vote for Egypt here - Sharm if you want a beach holiday, Luxor etc if you want something more cultural.
