2 adults and a 14 year old, May half term (give or take a few days) 2023

This will be our first proper holiday so want an all inclusive so not have to worry about anything! It seems I've spent hours on holiday sites, but still not sure what to pick.

We'd prefer a short flight time, somewhere with some luxury (not expecting too much with our budget) and plenty of activities and entertainment. - Sitting by the pool relaxing sounds good, but I know I'll be board after a few hours!

Can anyone help make the decision easier? Thinking Greece or Spain - think Turkey flight times are closer to 4hrs? Somewhere with a water park or near a theme park perhaps?

Budget of around £2000 all in
 
I'm seeing a fair amount in the £600-700pp bracket, that's browsing Easyjet, First Choice, TUI.

If we went for half board instead, what should we budget for per day for drinks/ice cream/meal etc? I'm wondering if they'd be much cost saving

Jet2, Tenerife, Siam Park.

We're just heading back home tomorrow, cost was £1700 for 10 nights half board, 2 adults 1 child. We prefer to eat out a few nights as there's heaps of restaurants and hotel food can be hit or miss, hence the half board as you can choose between dinner or lunch each day. I also avoid all inclusive because the snacks are basically a pile of chips and hot dogs & burgers, plus the cheapest of beer (we won't drink through the day anyway). Hotel entertainment is dire and when all inclusive you end up feeling you should sit through it for the "free" drink.

Each to their own, but I'd only be all inclusive if it was top notch digs and food, and for £2k it won't be. Plus... Get out and explore the place!

Which hotel did you choose? I see they show a few in the same area.
 
May half term is Monday 29th. Having a browse about suggests it's around £300-£600 cheaper to go the week before. School fine is £150 I think, so cheaper to pull her out of school for a week.

My Mrs isn't keen on Turkey due to terrorists!

So spain or Greece is her preference so far
