Out of interest why are you only interested in AI to the Balerics?

For similiar money you can go to some cracking 5 star holidays to Greece and Turkey.

Open really as long as it accommodates kids . Don't think they would handle more than four hours on plane.

Take them on a cruise around the Mediterranean on Royal Caribbean , they cater for families and you can sail from Southampton(save on the flight) .
I was sceptical about cruises before (associate them with old people and shuffle boards) but it was amazing best holiday ever did loads to do on-board (Ice rink on board , theatre , arcades , golf , tennis courts , 5 a side football courts , baasketball to name a few), do it all the time now http://www.royalcaribbean.co.uk/why-cru ... -cruising/

Felt exactly the same about cruises. Was really sceptical. My kids said it was the best kids club they ever been to and we found it hard to get them from there. Felt like me and the missus were on holidays on our own. Bliss.

I went to the Aliathon Hotel in Paphos Cyprus over Easter.

For kids it is fantastic, I really can't fault this hotel for a family holiday fella :ayatollah:

Flight 4hrs 20mins.

Read the trip advisor reviews, I went with First Choice as a package holiday, the wife and I agree, great holiday and would definitely go back there :D

Going around the carribean with them again in September after staying in Florida for a week first. The cruise cost us under 400 pounds each and when you consider the free facilities and dining on board it's a tremendous holiday
