Whilst we travelled pretty well in Europe we've done nothing since being back in NZ. Holidays are rare for us and usually (read: always) revolve around the kids sport. But this October we're pulling out of it all and want to go away as a family instead.

So where to go ?

Requirements:

• It has to be on the beach (we live at the beach anyway, but I'd like to be beachfront).
• It needs to be warm. We're over the winter. Three kids doing three winter sports with training every night of the week as well is enough. We want to sit in the sun all day, swim, BBQ every night and just relax.
• Needs to be big enough to handle four over 6 foot with the 9yo not being far behind !!

Do we bite the bullet and try a Pacific Island (I know absolutely nothing about them) ? Or save the flight costs and stay somewhere a little more luxurious than our usual bookabach places in NZ ?

Having said that, luxury isn't important but being on the beach with the sun is.

I'm keen to hear any suggestions.
