Many of the main resorts in Thailand have kids' clubs, which are great for parents - while the kids are kept amused you can lounge poolside and relax, go for a beauty treatment or sip a cocktail or two.
It's easy to have babysitters arranged in the evenings for very reasonable rates, so that romantic dinner on the beach doesn't have to go on hold.
Alternatively, I would recommend a family tour, which is a fantastic way to make sure you have a great holiday while removing some of the stress that may come with organising your own itinerary each day.
Intrepid offers a range of tours designed specifically for families and they often include homestays and trips to charities as well as fun activities, promising to keep mum and dad just as entertained as the kids.
I like to get away from it all, but my partner likes the city and its creature comforts. Where's a good place for an Asian holiday that mixes those things?
Rebecca Kent from Flight Centre Parliament has recently travelled to Asia and shares her top tips.
The beauty of travelling to Asia is that there is something to suit everyone, no matter what they're looking for. For a great mix of relaxation and entertainment, Cua Dai Beach springs to mind. This is one of the most beautiful beaches in central Vietnam and is not too overrun by tourists.
It's also just 4km away from Hoi An and you could stay at either location, or spend a few nights at each if you want to mix up your surroundings.
There is accommodation to suit all budgets in this area. Prices can start from about $25 a night, which can include air conditioning and your own bathroom.
If you fancy a treat or more of a luxury holiday, you can find outstanding accommodation for $200 a night or less. The food in this area is amazing with the French and Vietnamese fusion - not to mention cheap. A delicious main meal and a beer will set you back only a few dollars.
Hoi An has a strong French influence in its architecture, food and art, and should be large enough to keep your partner entertained. It's also a fantastic place to restock your wardrobe with amazing tailors who are able to whip you up a new wardrobe in about three days.
If Vietnam isn't your thing, you could also look at exploring the northeast of Bali. Not many tourists venture past Ubud so it would definitely be a holiday with a difference. Bali also offers fantastic beaches, snorkelling and diving spots, particularly around the beaches of Tembok and Amed. They also have wonderful food and it's extremely cheap. Accommodation is affordable but limited in this area so talk to someone experienced when booking.
Both Vietnam and Bali offer wonderful food and exceptional prices, and you can definitely tailor your holiday to match your budget - the options are endless.
