Would second the previous post on Lanzarote. After 9 trips it's almost 2nd home to us. Not the place for teens as too little by way of activity stuff but for smallies, the beach at PdC can't be beaten. Mar/Apr is a good time, not too hot. Food is good, prices reasonable, people very pleasant and not too long a flight ( as long as you have a Nintendo DS or such to keep them happy ). Apts are generally good, not many have air con but fans always available. You don't need to spend big money on apts, but check out the tour operators then look up holidaywatchdog or tripadvisor to see people's comments on the apts. For a "crash out" sun break, it can't be beaten. On the other side, Lanzarote has a dramatic landscape and some very good natural attractions ( )
