Three Greek hotels and one in Cyprus are among the 10 best holiday options that Sovereign travel agency recommends to British families seeking luxury services at affordable prices and free accommodation for children. The Greek hotels included in the “LUXE FOR LESS: 10 FAMILY HOTELS WHERE KIDS STAY FREE” list published by familytraveller.com are Porto Elounda in Crete, Ikos Oceania in Halkidiki and MarBella in Corfu while Cyprus is represented by Four Seasons Hotel Limassol.
As the site explains:
“When it comes to family holidays, luxury doesn’t have to mean eye-wateringly expensive. Cue Sovereign – they’re passionate about getting their customers the very best value for money, with exclusive extras and offers to make your stay even more special. Add to that a complimentary airport lounge pass, hassle-free private transfers and 24/7 concierge service, and you’ll see why families go back year after year.
We’ve asked the experts at Sovereign to give us their top picks for luxury-for-less holidays. Read on for offers on some of their family-friendly hotels from beachfront properties in the Balearics to gorgeous Grecian getaways.”
The three Greek hotels are described as follow:
PORTO ELOUNDA GOLF & SPA RESORT, CRETE
Location: Skirting a private Blue Flag beach, a few kilometres from Elounda village.
You’ll love… The sea views, for starters – every room and suite in the resort has them. Then there’s the Six Senses spa, voted the world’s best by The Sunday Times, and the nine-hole golf course. Parents with really little ones will also appreciate the baby-proofing service – in-room plugs, corners and doors can all be made safe for toddlers.
The kids will love… The fact that the pools are right by the beach, so it’s easy to switch between swimming and sandcastle-building. They can also keep busy at the kids’ club with things like beach Olympics tournaments and treasure hunts. Travelling with teens? They can have a go at watersports like wakeboarding and surfing, or sign up for the golf academy.
IKOS OCEANIA, HALKIDIKI
Location: On a white-sand beach close to the small town of Nea Moudania.
You’ll love… The ‘babewatch’ service. It’s a complimentary half-hour of babysitting on the beach, so you can pop off for a swim while fully trained staff look after the kids. The Infinite Lifestyle all-inclusive set-up is a bonus, too. It includes the hotel’s top-notch restaurants (some with menus by Michelin-starred chefs), plus a handful of local tavernas.
The kids will love… The chance to go mountain biking or try their hand at watersports. The huge pool also gets the thumbs up, as do the activities in the mini club – sandcastle days, face painting and treasure hunts are all on the agenda.
MARBELLA CORFU, GREECE
Location: On a private beach (half pebble, half sand) in the little resort of Agios Ioannis Peristeron, about half an hour from Corfu Town.
You’ll love… The freebies. As a Sovereign guest, you’ll be treated to breakfast in bed on your first morning, plus a complimentary five-course dinner at the Greek or Italian ? la carte.
The kids will love… Their complimentary beach activity set, picnics and parties at the kids’ club, and ice-cream sundaes at the American-style diner.
