Recommendations for Turkey / Morocco

[Countdown]

Hi folks

Looking for an all-inclusive family holiday in either of the above locations. Needs to have something to keep 4 young kids occupied. Ideally less than £700 per head would be good.

All recommendations and advice gratefully received.

We stayed here in Marrakesh for a week:

Hotel was nice, food was reasonable (plenty of selection, but the a la cartes weren't table service, just speciality buffet).
They always had plenty on to keep the kids entertained.
It's a way out the centre of the city, but there's a free shuttle bus you can use, and taxi's weren't over pricey.

Did you book direct or go through a travel agent?

It was a package deal through our local agent.

When are you looking to go? Number of activities available can be affected by seasonality.

Between May and September Olu Deniz in Turkey is reasonable, some decent family resorts, lots of available day trips for not much money, boat rental, paragliding, parasailing, beautiful lagoon, glacier visits etc. Reasonable prices for all inc family resorts if that's what you're looking for, getting out and about isn't expensive for food/drink etc.

Thanks for your replies folks

CB - I'm looking to go the week before the UK Easter holidays start. Key things are

5* Hotel
All-inclusive food
Plenty of activities for kids aged between 5-13
No alcohol required

Have a browse around this site for OD - http://www.oludenizbeach.com/paragliding.html#

I think you'll be a bit early for paragliding season, kids love it and some of the displays coming off the mountain over the Lagoon are great.

Still there're plenty of other activities. IIRC the main 5* all inc resort is Lykia World a short hop away from the main village. As with all of these places their idea of 5* and ours may differ somewhat so check them out indpendently!!

Can't comment on Morocco, many years since I went there.

Good luck

What's it like for Russians? Have heard that they can be a bit of an issue in some of the All-inclusive places?

Same all over these days I'm afraid. They seem to take over certain resorts

I didn't notice many when I was last there a couple of years ago BUT have a look at recent reviews on tripadvisor... if they're there now someone will have complained
