Inject some Vitamin D and watersports into this school holiday at The Fairmont Royal Pavilion, Barbados or enjoy an array of child-friendly activities at Gran Hotel Bahía del Duque Resort in Tenerife. We understand that flight class and times along with interconnecting rooms are important when travelling with children. To secure the flights and rooms of your preference, we strongly advise you to book early for 2018 as some of our most popular family hotels already have a waiting list for February half term next year.
