Where to go on holiday?

Question

I want to go away for a couple of weeks end of Sept beginning of Oct. Has to be hot, have a beach and cater for a two year old. Any suggestions???

Answer 1

Tunisia - they love kids and will treat them like princesses/princes, it'll be hot but not too hot for the kids, and the beaches are great. Especially Port El Kantoai

Answer 2

You might want to try Playa Del Carmen, on the Mexican Gulf coast, far enough away from the insanity at Cancun/Cosumel.

Yet if you had a sitter for a day, you could take an easy trip there and have an adult's night out.

XEL-HA (Shell-Ha!)
Listed in day trip article. It is the most awsome outdoor national park of lagoons next to the sea, filled with tropical fish.

You have to shower and remove all hairspray and lotion before going in the water, so as to preserve the water for the wildlife.

This was the highlight of my entire cruise, and children want to stay all day!

CHICHEN ITZA (Chit-zen-eats-ya)
The Most Awesome Mayan Ruins, and right on the water's edge.
Save your money for shopping at the bazar out here. Very original stuff at affordable prices. Visit here early in your visit, then finish your shopping in town.

SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS (Swimming with Dolphins--smile)
Much better than Sea World, since you actually get to swim in synch with a fellow mammal

Answer 3

I am an American living in Tunisia and I love Tunisia very much! I think that the whole country is wonderful, but I think Sousse offers the most in way of catering to a 2 year old.


Sousse is one of the older cities in Tunisia, and possesses an authentic medina, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.

PORT EL KANTAOUI http://www.portelkantaoui.com.tn/english/index.html a tourist complex 10 kilometers north of Sousse. It is home to a modern marina equipped for over 300 boats and several golf courses, as well and a full array of other sporting activities from water skiing to paragliding. The 36-hole PGA approved championship course makes Port El Kantaoui a popular destination for golfing. http://www.kantaouigolfcourse.com.tn/ The architecture, although modern and dazzlingly white, has been modelled on the more traditional buildings in Tunisia, complete with narrow streets and arches. The hotels that line the beachfront extend from Sousse itself along miles of sparkling clean sea to Port El Kantaoui.

AQUA PALACE. There is a new water has many different types of water rides and fun things to enjoy. There are green spaces, beaches, pizzerias, a restaurant, a buffet restaurant, coffee, bars, solarium, shady spots, a children's paddling area with water games, and a relaxing jacuzzi on top of all the exciting rides.

HANNIBAL PARK. It's an amusement park that has a famous roller coaster and has many souvenir shops. Fairground rides set in a fairy tale landscaped park including a merry go-round, trampolines, walk ways, bouncy castle and swings.

HERGLA KARTING PARK. It is another amusement park and offers lots of fun. There is one ride on there that is extremely fun, but not for the faint of heart! I've been on it - it takes you high in the air, and turns you every which way, and even stops and let you dangle for a bit. It also has a mini zoo down by the race tracks.

OASIS PARC BOTANIQUE. A botanic park with over 25,00 aromatic and medicinal plants and birds including ostriches, parrots and various rare chickens, and a bird style circus with clowns and magicians.

FRIGUIA SAFARI PARK. The Park runs a breeding program for threatened species and you can take a drive to see the lions, giraffes and elephants and various other African wildlife that now live there.

GREAT MOSQUE. It is a surprisingly tranquil place despite its location in the middle of the city. Built around 850 AD, the mosque is simple and done in the Aghlabite style; no decoration whatsoever aside from a string of angular Arabic and curved arches. Even the prayer room is covered in reed mats instead of the usual carpet. You must be properly dressed to enter, but green wraps can be rented for a token fee to cover up.

MOSAIC MUSEUM. Located in the gently crumbling old kasbah on the edge of the medina.

THE TRADITIONAL TUNISIAN HOUSE. This charming little museum is located within the old city walls some 200 yards north of the main bus terminal is the home of a long standing Tunisian family that has now become a museum with the passing of the last family member. The property centers on a open courtyard from which access to all the rooms can be gained, including bedrooms for the first and second wife and, in turn, to the children's rooms. All are delightfully fully furnished, with some curtains dating back 200 years, and with German clocks imported from the 1800's. The house is complete with a tower, orginally used to watch the stars fror the onset of Ramadan, from which views over Sousse can be gained.

CATACOMBS. Nice to visit if you like history. I do, so I found them very interesting and enjoyed them very much.

Sousse also has great nightlife with many restaurants, discos, cafés, and plenty of shopping! The coast has good beaches and a clear turquoise sea - perfect for swimming. You can also take carriage rides throughout the city which is always a fun way to sight-see!

That's just to name a few of the highlights. Once you get to the city yourself I'm sure that you will find many things that fascinate you. Tunisia is a land filled with much culture and history. And keep in mind that what interests one person, may not interest another, so everyone gains a different experience.

If I can be of any more help, please feel free to contact me. I've also included links to my pictures so you can see a little bit of what Tunisia looks like.

Answer 4

It all depends of your budget of course but South East Asia has a lot to offer:

Malaysia, Thailand are great, it is always hot, there is beautiful beaches in many places there and I'm sure all those resorts there have something to accomodate and look after your little one.

Have a great holiday!
