Holiday Q&A

"Our children are complete water babies. Can you recommend anywhere affordable this summer with safe swimming in the sea as well as a decent swimming pool and ideally, water slides?"

The name may seem alarming but Hotel Titanic near Antalya on Turkey's beautiful Mediterranean Coast is the perfect spot for water-loving children. The hotel has a maritime theme throughout and sits directly on the gently shelving fine white sands of Lara Beach. Children can swim in the sea (the beach here actually belongs to the hotel) or play in the Olympic sized swimming pool and not one but two aqua parks all within the resort. There's a spa and masses of family activities and furthermore, the hotel is all-inclusive so budgeting for your holiday is easy. From £755 per adult and £309 per child with Monarch, www.monarch.co.uk, for seven nights,departing in August.
