    My first instinct would be to go with the apartment - in the middle of the action and more spending money. Your boys may not sleep well together, but they may have just as much trouble sleeping in a strange house? Perhaps you could keep them so busy during the day that they pass out at bedtime?! If you aren't going to do much cooking then there is not much benefit to paying for the house with the larger kitchen. I suspect the apartments will have a BBQ area if you like to cook that way. I guess the other thing to consider is whether you like to be around people on holidays or would prefer the privacy of your own house and pool?

    Good point about not sleeping well anyway. As for privacy I know DH wouldn't care but I am definitely more of a private person.

    I know we'll have a wonderful time regardless of where we stay but I'm not great at making big decisions! It is a fun decision to make though

    ETA - that is a main factor Jen, whether the extra space of a house is worth the extra $$.

    Ok this is some kind of record for me...I think I have actually decided

    Thank you both for giving me some things to consider, pretty sure we'll be booking the apartment. I've been thinking about how not to disrupt the boys too much...but it's a holiday and isn't meant to be just like home They'll just have to share and that's all part of the experience isn't it?

    Sounds awesome. Yay. The apartment sounds fine When we've travelled with the kids, we've stayed in hotel-style rooms and getting the kids to sleep has been a debacle. So as long as there's somewhere for you to retreat while kids are sleeping, all good.

    How exciting!

    I'd definitely go the apartment, I think it seems more of a holiday when you're in a hotel/resort/apartment with other guests etc.
