TUI have so many fun and friendly hotels on their site, sometimes it can be quite daunting to know which one to pick and which one is best. From our experience as a family, we just love the Holiday Villages, they are perfect for families. The price of these are around mid-range, so not the cheapest but also not the most expensive. There are lots of reasons as to why, but these are the top 10:
1 Cater for families
Not only do the Holiday Villages cater for kids, they also have a lot to do for adults as well. On top of the activities available, there will be a choice of bars, shows and there is a spa on site (services at the spa’s do usually come with an extra charge, but it’s so nice to have this at your fingertips).
2 Kids clubs
So, if you want to while away the time being pampered at the on site spa, your children can enjoy themselves at the wonderful kids club. They have various groups of clubs to keep the big kids away from the tots, as they all have slightly different needs. HV Creche for tiny tots, HV Club for 3 to 5 and 6 to 8-year-olds and the HV Crew for 9 to 11 and 12 to 15-year-olds. All Holiday Villages Clubs are run to UK standards and our staff have First Aid training and advanced DBS security checks.
3 Multiple restaurants
Like you would expect in a village, there is a choice of different places to eat. All of the Holiday Villages are All Inclusive, they have at least 2 A la Carte restaurants and they are often themed restaurants. For example you will have the buffet hotel restaurant, an Italian and Chinese A la Carte restaurant on site. When you are spending a long time on holiday, having more than one place to eat is really important.
4 Splash in the pools
Most of the Holiday Villages have a splash park on site, this includes pools, slides, flumes and fountains for the whole family to have fun with. Some villages will even have a pirate ship too! You can see which ones have what on the TUI website.
5 Large family rooms
The rooms are designed specifically for families, a space to enjoy leisure time together. You’ll find a range of suites or in Egypt and Turkey you can enjoy the Kids’ Den rooms which give the kids their own area to chill out, or at least get out of the sun for a while. End a day of outdoor fun by returning to our plush and colourful Holiday Village accommodation.
6 HV Academies
At an extra charge you can enrol your child at the HV Academies. They are a huge hit, for kids aged 4 to 16 and there’s the Football Academy for wannabe Wembley-scorers and the stage Academy for pop stars in the making. The Swim Academy helps kids aged 3 and over become more confident in the water while the Rookie Lifeguard Academy – for kids aged 8 to 16 – teaches them lifesaving skills.
7 Sporty activities
There’s plenty of activities at the Holiday Villages from adrenaline pumped to a little calmer. Every one of the Holiday Villages are equipped with a Aerial Adventure (high ropes style) course. There is also something called Aeroball, a cross between Basketball and trampolining!
8 All Inclusive food and drink
All the food and drink you will enjoy in the Holiday Villages are included in the price you pay to begin with. This keeps your budget on track, and means the whole family can relax at mealtimes and in the evening without worrying about breaking the bank. You have breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks included in All Inclusive with TUI. You can literally eat and drink all day long!
9 Great prices
Book early and take advantage of the special low rates and low deposits to allow you to pay up your family holiday over time. Holiday Villages give you access to some of the most sought after summer destinations for a terrific price. The family packages offer outstanding value for money with high standard accommodation and exceptional customer service.
10 Free Child Places
Oh and saving the best for last: Free Child Places. The whole aim of the Holiday Villages is ease and choice so we’ve racked up a few benefits to keep the whole family having fun. As well as internet facilities and comfortable rooms you can also get free places for your first child. They are limited, so can sell out, so be quick. This offer is for children 16 and under, that’s right: 16 years old.
