That smile. That smile which reaches broadly across a tiny face spreading deliciously from ear to ear. That smile which is accompanied by those eyes, opening widely in all-conuming delight and awe. That smile that melts all of your troubles away.

You’ll see that all-encompassing smile many times during a First Choice Holiday Village holiday. Designed specifically with families and children in mind, these sensational resorts in stunning settings will have you all effortlessly delighted from start to finish. The joy of a Holiday Village is that the hotel will seamlessly cover all of your little one’s requirements so that all you need to think about is relaxing, and having the time of your life. This really is the Ultimate Child Friendly Holiday Package: Child Friendly Holiday Bliss.

Here are Five Reasons We Recommend Holiday Villages.

1. Spacious and Fully Equipped Family Friendly Rooms and Apartments. One of the great draws of a holiday village is the brilliantly thought out family accommodation. Everything is vary spacious with separate sleeping areas (particularly useful for nap-time). For little ones, you can pre-hire toddler and baby packs containing bottle warmers, sterilisers, changing mat, bath mat, even a buggy with sun canopy, so you are able to travel light and care-free. We found everything extremely accessible and buggy-friendly too.

2. Exceptional childcare facilities. Holiday Villages offer fabulous creche and kids club facilities. Both of my children thoroughly enjoyed these sessions which run up to a whopping 5 times a day. I will always remember my three year old dashing gleefully past me on a treasure hunt in full pirate regalia and seeing my one year old giggling and tooting on a push along car ride with his holiday nanny. Beyond the kids’ club there is always a fun activity to take part in from rep-run family fun sessions to football and swim school to the aerial assault course to the playground…no daily planning for you Mum and Dad!

3. Glorious child-friendly dining. You’ll find a selection of buffet restaurants and snack bars on site catering expertly well for your whole family on your All Inclusive Holiday. The ice-cream and ice pops on tap and the chocolate fountain were a huge hit with our youngsters, but there are also many non-fussy, healthy options to keep your child healthy on holiday, and plenty of great choices for hungry parents too.

4. Exceptional Splash and Play Facilities. Every holiday village is especially equipped for hours of splishy, sploshy, splashy fun. With fabulous splash parks on site and the beach just around the corner, your days will be filled with happy frollicks in the water.

5. Gizmo and the Gadgets. The entertainment at a Holiday Village is always first class, but topping the bill are Gizmo and the Gadgets, a group of fuzzy, furry puppets who pop up around the pool in the day time, and running the dance-off in the evening. They quickly begin to entice Disney character levels of delight, and the kids can’t get enough of those lovely big smiley faces.

The greatest of joys for you is that all you need to think about is clocking up some well-earned R&R whilst you enjoy the fact the kids are having the time in their lives. Make the most of some extra time together, or relax in the Gym or the Spa.
