Children love the entertainment provided by Thomson: whether taking part in the chocolate party at the kids club. Or singing along with Thomson the dog in the evening A tip for your package holiday packing
Here's a tip for you when you're packing for your family holiday. It's worth a read, so you don't have to spend your holiday in the same t-shirt... Stay the night at an airport hotel, and get free parking
If you have to travel some distance to get the airport, you may want to consider spending the previous night in a hotel. Free parking can also be included, which means the hotel itself can work out very cheapily Perfect for a family holidayGran Canaria is the perfect location for a holiday in the sun. Relatively close to the UK, and having a warm climate, makes this an ideal place to have a week or two away from everything; and spend some time mooching around in a pair of flip-flops.Getting to Gran CanariaThe Canary Islands, of which Gran Canaria is part of, are about a 4 hour flight from the UK, and situated just off the west coast of Africa. The 4 hour flight time make the Canary Islands especially popular during the winter months, because they are one of the closest places to fly to and get guaranteed sun.Booking a holidayPretty much all the tour operators will provide you a package holiday to the Canary Islands, so you should be spoilt for choice. We recently took our children for their first holiday overseas - we went to the Hotel Orquidea in Bahia Feliz for an all inclusive holiday extravaganza. We booked our holiday from Thomson - you may well want to have a look and see what offers they can give you.Swimming, sun and happy childrenGran Canaria is a perfect family holiday destination, as we found out during our stay at the Hotel Orquidea. The sea is always hot; well, warmer than the North Sea off the UK's east coast, anyway! And you'll find plenty of hotels with their own pool.If you're a water park nut, take a trip to Aqualand in Maspalomas, for a day of water based thrills; make sure you're sitting down when you see the price though. Family HolidayDuring our week in the sun, our two children (aged 6 and 10), hardly ever got bored - which is some kind of minor miracle. A combination of the Thomson entertainment, swimming pools, and sea kept everybody going.If you're thinking of a family holiday in the sun, why not take a peak at the Canary Islands, and see if you can bag yourself a good deal. I hope you had as good time as we did. Have a look round the special offers to an Gran Canaria from Thomson holidays |
