Rhodes Luxury All Inclusive
Family of 4 from £4599
Whether you're treating the kids to a week in the sun or jetting off on an escape for two, Princess Andriana Resort and Spa could be just the luxury retreat you've been searching for. Plonked on Rhodes' Mediterranean coast – meaning calmer, warmer waters than other parts of the island – this place is a winner from the get-go.
So will you make for the beach or lounge by the pool? The main swim spot is a spacious, curvy number with plenty of sun loungers sprinkled 'round the edge. There's a kids' pool, too, and an all-day restaurant pitched up nearby to keep you well-fed and watered on those long, sunny afternoons. Six times a week the little ones can get stuck into the entertainment offering at the children's activity centre, while pool activities and other games to suit the whole family are a mainstay on the roster, too.
The star of the show might be the onsite water park, though. With more than a dozen slides to suit all ages (and thrill levels), there's sure to be plenty of fun in store. And with a separate splash zone with jets plus a kids' animation pool that suitable for tots aged two and up, the whole family can get involved in the fun.
You'll be dining in style at the impressive choice of restaurants here
Price based on 2 adults and 2 kids (2-11) sharing a Family Room with Inland View for 7 nights on All Inclusive. Transfers and luggage allowance included.

Corfu Luxury Short Break from £999pp
❤️Designer Travel Favourite
The Corfu Imperial A Grecotel Resort To Live at Kommeno Peninsula couldn’t have picked a more perfect postcode if it tried. Perched on a tree-blanketed peninsula that juts into the sparkling waters of the Ionian Sea, this Ancient Grecian-inspired abode is backed by nature and four secluded beaches.
As if the location wasn’t enough, this eco-certified hotel is also filled the rafters with facilities – three pools, five restaurants, and four bars. And if you can be persuaded to leave this beachside haven, you can also hop on the hotel’s free shuttle bus to Corfu Town or join one of the many excursions, such as to The White House, which once belonged to the renowned Durrell family.
Price is based on 2 adults sharing a Deluxe Double Room with Sea View for 4 nights on Half Board basis. Private transfers and luggage allowance included.

5* Luxury All Inclusive
Crete from £799pp
Set on the edge of the Aegean Sea, Minos Imperial Luxury Beach Resort and Spa has a prime spot on the white sands of Volakias Beach, lapped by clear, turquoise waters. But this isn’t a place that rests on its top location—you’ve also got a choice of five swimming pools, a lazy river, and waterslides to keep you busy.
When you’re not soaking up the sun on the beach or by the pools, there’s an air-conditioned gym, and you can get involved with water volleyball, aqua aerobics, and tennis.
The main restaurant, Mosaic Brasserie, serves a buffet of international food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and there’s often show cooking to watch (and the chocolate fountain is always a hit). There are five à la carte eateries, serving everything from Greek and Italian cuisine to New York burgers and barbecued specialities – and they all have plenty of outdoor seating to make the most of the warm summer evenings.
Price based on 2 sharing a Superior Guest Room with Garden View for 7 nights on All Inclusive basis. Private Transfers and luggage allowance included.

You’ll find this place on the Dubai Islands, a quiet manmade area on the outskirts of Dubai’s city centre.

For a spot of pampering, head inside to the lush spa for a treatment, or make use of the sauna, heated indoor pool, hot tub, steam bath, hammam, and a Vichy shower.

After over 36 years of working on the high street in Travel Agencies in various locations such as Leicester ,Hinckley , Nuneaton , Blaby, Northampton and Market Harborough in various Managerial positions.
I now work as a Business Associate for Designer Travel, from my base here in Blaby a village in South Leicestershire.
Although Designer Travel is independent, they sit under the umbrella of the Hays Travel , which allows the buying power of a multiple while still retaining their independence.
As I run my business from home, I have less overheads and so can give better deals than most travel agencies, so please feel free to contact for a quote.
Being an independent agent also means I can offer a very large range of products ,more so than ever before and can tailor make any itinerary you need. I have over 300 Tour Operators on the books which means I shop around so you don't have to! Many Tour Operators feature the same destinations and hotels - I check them all and get you the best deal possible.
Fall in love again with travel. I can help you escape to hundreds of destinations, thousands of hotels, adult-only resorts or family-friendly locations with lots of action-packed kid’s clubs. By having holidays to suit everyone, you’ll be inspired for your next adventure.
Being very well travelled I can often offer first hand knowledge at many destinations throughout the world. From Europe to the Middle East to Canada to America to the Far East to Australia and South Africa.
I will be available more hours that a retail store to suit the times you need me.
I am fully ABTA and ATOL protected and give my customers excellent customer service.
I look forward to helping you with your next travel plans
