Well, we decided not to go back to UK this summer but spend a 2-3 weeks in some cheap and cheerful place where it'll be not too hot :-) Any ideas please?
PS: to sarcastic guys: please move to another topic ;-)
Some people stayed at my house in Srilanka with their young kids and loved it cos the beach is only a couple of minutes from my gate . Could come an go as they liked , made it easier with the kids , arranged driver an everything for them. I wasnt there at the time , they rented from me .
little me , no idea how young your kids are. But if you do end up going to Singapore (most flight does Singapore stop over), this place always fun to go with your kiddies :
1. Singapore Zoo
2. Jurong Bird Park
3. Sentosa
Public transportation in Singapore one of the best in Asia.
Mind you the place is not cheap ... except the food :)
Try Singapore too - very kid friendly city, great transport system to get around. Plenty to see and do. spend a few days on Sentosa - kids love it there!
lol littleme ... i can suggest those places because I know the area quite well, and been there quite often :)
the weather would be humid, being a tropical country you wont see a drastical change thorought (spelling?) the year. It would be nice and sunny, but wont be boiling like in Doha.
ShangriLa Golden Sands Resort in Penang also a nice place to spend for holiday with the kids.
Just across the main road from the hotel there is a car hire place call Kasina Rent A Car. So you can fly to Penang from Kuala Lumpur, get the hotel to pick you up then you can hire a car and do some touring around at your own convinient yourself.
Penang have Butterfly Farm, Kek Lok Si temple, Strawberry Farm, etc etc. Cant really remember what is there been few year since last time we were there. I know Baldrick2dog another QL'er just came back from Malaysia touring around that area.
If you want peace and quiet, maybe you can consider small island next to Bali call Lombok. The island is not as commercialize as Bali. We usually stay at Sheraton Senggigi. Worth to check ...

The hotel swimming pool is awesome, we came to Bali quite often and my husband never want to move to another hotel because of the swimming pool.
My family came over from my hometown including with my 2 small nieces.
We did some touring around ... we hire a car including driver. He own the car and doing the guiding as well. His name is Pak Polos (Mr.Polos). Highly recommended.

Did buggy tour going through the paddy field ..., visiting monkey forest, bird park and went out on a cruise. Bali offer alot of things for different age range.
My husband went on white water rafting with my brother, sister in law, my sister, our 7 yrs old son, plus a friend from QL and his partner that joining us on the holiday.

PS : We even managed to have a family outdoor photoshoot with the professional photographer.

Did you Google it first?
Greece is the best place and not too expensive!
Try also Turkey - Antalia city with the all inclusive hotels!
