| Phuket, Thailand gets my vote every time for a relaxing sunny hol.
Flights might be the tricky part, but accomodation, food, drink and souvenirs very cheap. Lots of beaches and activities for the kids.
My work means I've stayed in a lot of hotels over the years but the Meridien Yacht Club (south side of Phuket) is definitely in my global top 3. With 4 kids the budget might not be realistic here (especially as rates double in December), but sunset dinner on the deck is an absolute must.
u2u me if you want more info (or you could even talk to me at the drinks next week!)
cheers, Chi |
