The Essential Guide to All Inclusive Family Resorts with 2 Bedroom Suites
Here you will find a continually evolving guide to all-inclusive family resorts with 2 bedroom suites. This means the majority have two separate bedrooms with several also having a living area – which will hopefully be useful to those with larger families or perhaps travelling as a group. You’ll find ones with splash pools, water slides, water parks, playgrounds and those which have a low transfer time and more. These are all places either I have stayed in or have been recommended by fellow parents in my 100k + Facebook group- a really helpful bunch – so real experiences and real photos.
Some rooms will be villa or bungalow style resorts whilst other resorts will be hotels with a 2 bed apartment, all inclusive holidays type.

To help you decide which all-inclusive two bedroom apartments and hotels you want to investigate further, I have listed a few family friendly facilities: including whether a fridge or kitchenette is in the suite, whether the pool have slides, if there is a playground and if the beach is nearby.
My spreadsheet below offers a quick glance comparison of the facilities, with more details, photos and first hand experiences below – just scroll on it or click to see full site version (best viewed on a laptop)
When I or readers have stayed in these places, comments will be added about experiences- so please let us know below in the comments, as it really helps other parents decide which 2 bedroom all inclusive holidays they should short-list.
The plan will be to eventually have lists for each country’s 2 bedroom all inclusive resorts – but this post concentrates on the most popular UK family holiday destinations: covering predominately Europe and some popular winter sun places in Africa.
Holiday Villages listed below are operated by First Choice Holidays who also come under the TUI umbrella. They have kids’ clubs and various activities. Some of these are affiliates links but I am not paid to promote any of these hotels.
All Inclusive 2 bedroom Resorts
Bulgaria: 3 Family Favourites from Our Community

A reader stayed recently (2025) and loved their stay here. She said the bedroom had a super king plus a single sofa bed and double sofa bed and double sofa bed in the living room. She said, “plus we had a cot in there too and was loads of room. .. there is also a fridge and kettle but no kitchenette, but as it is all inclusive it didn’t matter to us”.


She also helpfully explained “there was a UK regulated kids club, They had a baby club as well as kids clubs so under 3s could go too, splash park for the kids plus big slides for adults and indoor heated pool which was useful in May and the food was fab, highly recommend.” Food wise, the Taverna was great where you can book once per stay per week.

There are two waterslides and it is right on the beach. Even if half board, you can dine in one of the a la carte restaurants.


There are 3 outdoor pools, including the kids pool. No-one saved sunbeds when we were there! We also used the kids’ club which is for those aged 3+ and an onsite playground.

A couple of our readers have stayed here. “We had a great time here last summer, lots of pools, there’s kids’ clubs sessions and the beach is just over the road. We didn’t have any complaints with the food: there’s a main buffet, an Italian buffet and then you get to choose to dine at the American or Greek restaurant once during your stay. There was a mini-fridge in the kids room and I’m pretty sure there was a kettle too.” Read Trip Advisor reviews here.
Crete
We have enjoyed a couple of trips to Crete, including a stay at The Grecotel below. Our full review of the hotel is here. We’ve also stayed in the busier hub of Hersonissos – which a lot more lively but closer to a lot of fun family days out if you don’t want to travel far.
Grecotel Creta Palace Crete 5*



This was recommended to us by friends so we booked for October and loved it! The food was excellent (not always the case at an All Inclusive) and we loved the resort layout – it was set out like an older Greek village. This was nice to meander around the resort.

I’ve included lots of our pictures so you can get a feel for the place. We had a 2 bed place – so our room had a double bed, the TV, a balcony etc and the girls room was two twin beds.
There were tea and coffee facilities and a small fridge in the room and we also had a balcony.
There are several pools, including an indoor pool and a kids’ club plus it is right on the sandy beach.

Corfu

The welcome is great with calming white and soft wood tones and a welcome drink with cold towels. All inclusive includes Unlimited access to à la carte dining options and snacks and ice-cream.

There is daily replenishment of the minibar with soft drinks, bottled water and beer. So the rooms are kind of separate- the main bedroom and then a door to two twins.


The food buffet was good and the staff wonderful and kind. The little bar on the grass area was so chilled in the afternoon to enjoy a cocktail. The pools were good with shade available. It was busy but we did manage to always grab a spot. The beach area also had sunbeds too.

“We didn’t use the kids’ club so can’t really comment on that but we did go in as a family for an hour and play with the toys/soft play etc which the kids loved.”

Pirates Village 3* Santa Ponsa

If you’re looking for a busy complex full of fantasy this is the place for you! The hotel is themed all around pirates. Whilst this doesn’t have two separate bedrooms, the one bedroomed apartments have a separate lounge area (and sofa beds). There is A LOT to do here with children are invited to take part in pirate games to protect the pool in the splash park. The kids’ club is free and open to those 3+ with no pre-booking required.
Readers of Flying With a Baby have said they preferred the Terrace rooms. These have their own sunbeds and private garden (with a gate so little ones can’t access the pool). This means you don’t have to rush for the sun beds and it’s just easier to go back to your room or let the kids nap whilst you can sunbathe.
The Pirates Village features several swimming pools with slides, a games room and a movie theatre. There is also a weekly pirate show!
Board wise, you can choose options of self-catering or all-inclusive with a pool bar and a buffet restaurant. There is only one main restaurant so all inclusive might be a bit much for you for a week or longer. )You can upgrade if you want to). A reader from our 108,000 strong Travel With Babies and Toddler FB group, mentioned the cocktails are from a machine, so just something to bear in mind. If you are self catering there is a supermarket next door and a bakery.
The hotel is close to nearby restaurants and bars and is 400m from the nearest beach. All rooms comprise of: TV (some English TV channels including CBBC) wifi, a safety deposit box, a hairdryer, A kitchenette with kettle, fridge, microwave and air conditioning. It’s not far to Palma, making it a short transfer from the airport or city visit.
Good for: This hotel is perfect for any pirate fanatic families! Good value and a lot offered for a 3 star. See Trip Advisor reviews here and TUI packages here. If you want to book flights and hotel separately, the hotel is also on Booking.com

Protur Bonaire Cala Bonaire – Cala Bona 4*

Whilst not two separate bedrooms and a lounge, the Protur Aparthotel Bonaire is a 4-star hotel, set in spacious grounds, aimed at families and has 1 bedroomed apartments with a separate lounge and sofa bed area.

Protur Aparthotel Bonaire is one of the first hotels we stayed in with our toddler. The hotel includes a winding, river-style pool and a children’s splash park with slides and a giant pirate ship with a slide! The shallow splash area around the ship was perfect for her and the All Inclusive ice-creams!
It is a short, two- minute walk from a sandy and shingle beach with a great pizza place that we visited a couple of times.

The resort of Cala Bona is around a ten-minute walk away with Cala Millor, a bigger resort, a little further away.
At Protur Aparthotel Bonaire there are options of either half-board or all inclusive with the option of visits to an a la carte restaurant. We went All inclusive but still ate out a couple for times just outside the hotel. The food is what I would call normal – nothing amazing but perfectly edible. I would have liked to have seen more Spanish dishes. Breakfast was always nice.
Rooms contain a kitchenette and air conditioning and have a separate room and living area with sofa bed and ample space for a cot.
- 1 bedroom apartments with living area with sofa bed and ample space for a cot.

Entertainment was great for the kids on an evening too. Everything is close by including the shops outside of the hotel. The pool had slides that were great for adults and teenagers as well as our 3 years old but the hotel also has a great baby / toddler pool next to the bigger one.

Portugal
Eden Resort, 4*Albufeira.

One of our readers, Sarah loved the Eden Resort. She wrote this about it for us;
“Where do we start. We were blown away be Eden resort. How they cater for children is just amazing. There’s so much they don’t advertise.
They had everything you could need for babies and toddlers. Bed guards and stair gates as standard! Toys to borrow from reception as well as games to pick. All for FREE!!! A deposit has to be left for the baby items like sterilisers/bottle warmers and even pushchairs. We just couldn’t believe it. In the accommodation they left cutlery and tableware for the children (Ikea specials).

Then there’s the splash park, the pictures don’t do it justice. A whole area and 3 different sections for the splash pools. Then there’s the normal pool just up from it.
The kids club although it’s from 4 years old they have an outdoor area outside which is soft flooring and during the daytime put mats and toys out and even create a playpen for babies with toys for all ages. So suitable from birth!

The food in the restaurant is lovely however at evening meal be prepared as it is what we called “carnage” it’s a mainly English resort and it doesn’t open until 6.30pm so there’s lots of children and families wanting to get food asap and it runs out quickly. Hopefully as the season goes on they will replenish it quicker than it was in May when we went. Highchairs everywhere and lovely staff. We didn’t notice towards the end of our stay it was getting a lot busier as it was coming up to half term.
The accommodation was huge! We had a 2 bedroom apartment and had read on here before booking that the apartments are ample size. We walked past the villas and my word they were humongous.
The staff move all your luggage for you via golf buggies around the resort and will pick you up from your rooms when you want a ride to reception.
Our only grumble is the housekeeping. They didn’t clean or change the beds once whilst we were there. You apparently have to ask reception for this to be done as they are trying to become sustainable.
The bus down to the town has child seats on it too so your children are safe whilst travelling.
We used bolt a few times to get a taxi to take us back to the resort due to having pushchairs and it being quite hilly and lots of steps we got lost and so easier to call for a ride back. There’s also the option to ask reception to order you transport to places. We used it to go to zoomarine and the company they use for taxis the gentleman was lovely and helpful.
We went with Jet2 and couldn’t fault them. They are all so helpful.
Just completely blown away by the resort and would recommend it to any young families. There was so many children with multiples as well which made us feel at ease as we had twins travelling with us. Most families help each other. It was just such a lovely week and so happy we found somewhere like this that actually caters for younger children and families.”
Another reader also raved about the villas on the property and said “the luxury of a whole villa and the convenience of all inclusive was great.”

Tenerife

Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife 5* is all about families. There is plenty of kid-friendly entertainment on offer, as well as baby rooms in each accommodation block that provide microwaves, bottle heaters and buggy storage.

The Bahia has a few different room options for families to choose from. And in addition to the room types, there are also different views.
One of the affordable rooms at the hotel is suitable for a single parent and a child. And that is a superior room which features a large double bed and a balcony.
If you’re like us and enjoy having a separate seating area from the bedroom, then the Bahia’s family suites will be right up your alley. Family rooms again have a large double bed and a sofa bed. Interconnecting doors separate the sofa bed and the main bedroom, allowing you to have some privacy while the kids are asleep.

One of our readers loved how the fake grass kept the floor from getting too hot and mentioned it was great for little babies around the little pool too. The foam party on a Wednesday was also a hit. A great bonus was all the pool are heated. See Trip Advisor reviews here and more information on a Jet2 holiday here. or compare with TUI here.

Landmar Costa Los Gigantes in Tenerife.

Two readers recommended this hotel, in particular the Landi suite room. “We had a Landi Room and the bedroom was separate, they also do Duplex rooms for bigger families. Great family hotel with kids’ club for kids aged from 6 months plus. The Landi room comes with extra perks. Food was excellent”
Another reader in our 70,000 strong Facebook group said, “We came back from here a couple of weeks ago. Loved it and the rooms are huge! Me, husband a 2 kids were in a 1 bed Landi room – bedroom was huge! My teenage stepson stayed with my in laws in a duplex which was perfect as both floors have bathrooms so he had the bottom ‘lounge’ with sofa bed and bathroom to himself and in laws has the bedroom upstairs so all had privacy. Really great hotel with loads to do with children and big enough it isn’t heaving anywhere!”
The baby pool is heated but not the others and the curtains are blackout. You are not allowed to reserve a sun beds but people still do. If you have Landi room you are meant to have priority, but not always the case.
Activity wise, there is a high ropes course, and courts for football, tennis, and basketball ( these close at 6pm). For younger ones, there’s a soft play area and a splash zone. The hotel also offers plenty of entertainment throughout the day and evening to keep everyone happy.
The hotel is around 45- 2 hours minutes from the airport, depending if you have got a holiday coach transfer and how many stops there are. A top tip is book a hotel transfer (12 Euros each which takes just 30 minutes.

Club Med Punta Cana
Club med Punta Cana has great family rooms: two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A reader says, “Excellent kids club. No kitchens, no problem- great food all day and you can use ‘to go’ containers to take to your room. 2 water parks, 2 pools, right on a gorgeous beach. We can’t wait to go back!” Read Trip Advisor Reviews here.
Italy

Tui Magic Life Calabria has been recommended by a reader recently. There are split level rooms and 2 bedroom options with a fridge and terrace/balcony. It doesn’t have a kitchenette or a lounge but this wasn’t an issue as its all-inclusive with excellent food choices. The sports facilities, pools and beach are excellent and it is extremely child, family and buggy friendly.
Another reader mentioned, “we’ve just come back from here – great for kids. The rooms are brilliant as we got the family rooms as standard which means you can sleep separately from the kids in separate adjoining rooms.
The splash park is good for little ones but the slides etc are more for older kids I would say. The other pools are deep and don’t offer a “shallow end” which is my only real negative – there’s no baby pool as such, just the splash park. We travelled with a 3 year old and 18 month old.”
- Activity pool
- Mini-splash park. There’s also a section for toddlers, with a splash pad, jets, rings and a miniature slide.
