If you are looking for a good value destination for summer without long flights, there are some lovely hotels that you could look at in Portugal particularly in the central Algarve. There is plenty to do and the beaches are beautiful. Some hotels have kids clubs but they are usually quite low key. Corfu is another place where there are various villa/hotel combinations that won't break the bank. Please drop me an email on
