Top Ten Family Holiday Resorts for 2003 as voted by our readers
In the 2003 issue of Holidays with Kids, we asked readers to write in about their favourite family holiday resort, telling us what they liked about it, what set it apart from other resorts, how the kids enjoyed it and what there was to do.
We were astounded by the number of responses for resorts all over the world! Thanks so much for taking the time to write.
It took our staff judges countless hours to tally up the votes, and here is the end result – the Top Ten Family Resorts for 2003.
We would love you to write to us and make a nomination too! Please write and tell us about your favourite holiday resort. Where is it? What did you like most about it? What set it apart from other resorts? What did the kids like about it? What were the facilities / meals like for the kids.
