Virginia Family Resort, Greece, APR 25

You’ll love the pool scene, which includes three adult pools and two for kids, as well a waterslide. There’s a poolside bar to keep drinks and snacks coming during the day, too.

The full-to-the-brim activity programme has something for everyone – if you can be persuaded away from your sun lounger! Choose from darts and volleyball, or challenge your travel buddies to a game of giant chess. There are also a couple of playgrounds for the kids to have a ball in.

Dine at the hotel’s restaurant for dinner, where an international buffet is served. There are also three theme nights a week, so you can sample Asian, Italian, and Greek food. You’ll also find Greek and fish à la carte restaurants, both open in the evening. After dark, sip drinks in the lobby bar, or watch live shows in the open air amphitheatre. If you want to eat and drink in your room and relax, take advantage of the room service option.

Rooms here are comfortable and spacious with modern décor, and you can upgrade to a room with a private pool or a Jacuzzi if you’re feeling fancy. Whichever room type you go for, they all come with either a private terrace or a balcony, ideal for those sunny mornings and warm evenings.
