Our Best Family Holiday… So Far

2nd February 2012 By Susan Mann Leave a Comment

In May of 2008 we went on our first family holiday abroad . We went to Elenite in Bulgaria. We hadn’t been before and it was not long opened so we thought we’d give it a go. Lucas was only 1 year and 5 months, so just toddling about and getting into everything. 
It was 3 hour flight, late at night so we put the little guy in his pj’s at the air point and he was as good as gold on the plane. 
Elenite, is a complex which is inclusive, it has a main restaurant in the hotel section but also a few other restaurants throughout the complex, including a hot dog stand which became a popular lunch time stop. The food I have to say wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad either. I had quite a bit of morning sickness as I has just found out I was pregnant with Tyler, so that might have put me off a little. It was buffet style which was great for giving Lucas a wide variety. 

Right outside the front door of the hotel was the most stunning white, clean beach I have ever seen. As you can see in the pictures it was beautiful and Lucas had great fun digging with his teddy. The rooms were spacious and adequate for twin beds and a cot. Lucas loved wondering about the room and playing out on our huge balcony, which was perfectly safe for toddlers as it had a high wall. However our view was amazing. There was so much greenery surrounding the village and with the beaches and the weather it really was paradise. 
The pool was in the other direction from the front door, it wasn’t very deep, but you could still swim in it. The best part was there was a baby pool, so Lucas could walk and splash until his heart was content. If you want to explore out with the village, there are plenty of taxis and buses which will take you there. Also plenty of excursions can be arranged. Since it was our first family holiday and Lucas was so young, we pretty much spent our time within the complex, at the pool and the beach, just chilling and enjoying our time together. 

I would highly recommend Elenite in Bulgaria for families, it’s perfect for keeping them amused, there is a kids club with games, a disco for the older ones. The buffet style food is excellent for children, especially when they can be fussy. The pool is amazing and so are the beaches. Best of all it’s all enclosed so no cars to worry about. I cannot wait until we go back.
