Having popped over to Benidorm whilst staying near Ailicante last week, I can safely say I don’t think I would ever go there with kids. It seemed to be populated exclusively by drunks and old people on mobility scooters.
As for the whole kids hols and term time thing, as a child free couple we have a hard enough time finding somewhere nice and quiet to go when those of you with children have holidays, like eh whole of the bloody summer, Easter BH etc… Damn right you should pay more for it, they are usually the best times to go on holiday weather wise!
It’s nice to have at least a few times a year when your offspring are safely locked away in school.
