Testimonials
Another popular location on Majorca, read what our SWK holidaymakers thought of their trip;
Teresa and Sophie 15 - (Alcudia 2019)
" This is my seventh SWK holiday. My daughter was 8 on our first trip and now she is 15. The holidays are always fun for both of us and this one was no different. Lovely parents and lovely children. Great company and great to meet them all. Another fab trip.
"
Gail and Denny 9 - (Alcudia 2019)
" It took me a long time to book my SWK holiday. I wasn’t sure going on a group holiday with strangers was for me. How wrong was I! My 9 year old summed it up perfectly “This is the best holiday ever!” Like minded mums and dads, lots of wonderfully behaved children who have entertained each other for hours on end and for the first time ever I have been able to relax and have my own summer holiday. Without a question we will be back.
"
Helen and Benjamin 8 - (Alcudia 2019)
" We were really looking forward to our SWK holiday and have not been disappointed. The children made immediate friends and can’t wait to see each other from the moment they wake up. The other mums and dads have been great fun too. The easiest holiday ever! We will be back!
"
Jane and Alex 9 - (Alcudia 2019)
" As a mum to a 9 year old with additional needs I have found a lovely community of supportive fellow single parents who have helped both myself and my son to have a great holiday. Sophie, our coordinator, has also been a lovely mix of support and good fun. We’ll be back!
"
James and Rebecca 4 - (Alcudia 2019)
" Thank you very much for an amazing holiday. We really couldn’t have asked for better holiday companions. We have made some great friends and amazing memories.
"
Andy and Jake 7 - (Alcudia 2019)
" Big thanks to SWK. Such a relaxed holiday. No pressure to do anything you don’t want. Jake absolutely loved every second and it was nice not to be the only one keeping an eye on him. Location and complex were great, especially the pools. Many thanks Sophie.
"
Jane, Jess 17 and Hannah 15 - (Alcudia 2019)
" This was our sixth SWK holiday! It has been an absolutely fab holiday and been a great group of both parents and children. It’s always quite tricky to get it right for teenagers but they have loved it all. Waterpark trip was great and can recommend banana boat at the beach for teenagers. It’s going to be hard giving these holidays up. Thanks everyone.
"
Irena and Zinta 13 - (Alcudia 2019)
" A lovely holiday. Sophie did a great job coordinating the group making sure that everyone was included and organising trips. The WhatsApp group worked very well. The hotel was nice and being spread over a number of sites meant that the kids had a great deal of space to roam while still being safe and contained. Great pools, fabulous beach and marvellous waterpark. We’ve done SWK holidays in the past but not for the past few years and this was a great reintroduction. It was marvellous to arrive to a readymade group of friends so the kids could do their wonderful night time swims and adults could gossip over Sangria. It was a lovely holiday and a great reminder just how good SWK is.
"
Emma, Alfie 11 and Rosie 8 - (Alcudia 2019)
" Our first SWK holiday and it hit the nail on the head. Plenty of pals for the kids to play with so I’ve not had to be in the pool all of the time! Is it a positive or a negative that I’ve hardly seen my son!?! Sophie has been fab coordinating activities – I just hope she doesn’t feel too stressed at the end of it all. Some lovely people to share the holiday with, hope our paths will cross again. None of us want to go home. Thank you SWK – great job!
"
Catherine and Charlie 7 - (Alcudia 2019)
" This is our second SWK holiday and this was far better in every respect. Rooms and hotel were great. Perfect location and excellent food. Very well coordinated by Sophie. She did a brilliant job and was friendly and helpful. Planned lots of activities which we could dip in and out of. We’ve had a wonderful holiday and met some lovely people. Thank you.
"
Dennis and Ira 11 - (Alcudia 2019)
" This is our fifth SWK holiday and our third to Alcudia so we know what to expect and we have had another very nice holiday. The Sea Club works very well for Ira and I. We like the separate pool and the space. Although it is quite a large complex it allows us to find our own space with other SWK guests quite easily. The food and drink options are great allowing virtually non-stop eating and drinking. Being with the SWK group is great for me as Ira now finds so many nice new friends to play with whilst I relax. Sophie has kept us all well informed and organised. There were plenty of things on offer even if Ira and I like to be on our own.
"
Nicole and Lukas 8 - (Alcudia 2019)
" This was our first overseas trip with SWK and we have had a lovely time. The programme has been well planned even though we did not participate in all the events but it was good to have the option. Thank you so much Sophie for all your hard work organising the group and the events – we really appreciated it. It was great to be part of this lovely group although we spent most of our time with parents with kids of a similar age it was so easy to chat to everyone and have some grown up conversations. The accommodation was ok but we had some noisy neighbours and the walls were really thin (obviously this is not SWK fault, just mentioning it). The food was great, a bit too good. Altogether we have had a great time and we will do a SWK holiday again. Many thanks.
"
Helen, Rory 8 and Jonny 5 - (Alcudia 2019)
" Well I have had a wonderful time in Majorca with SWK and so have my boys. I knew in advance that I would love the sun, sand and pool and all included option meaning no cooking and no saying “No” to drinks, ice cream and pancakes for breakfast. I also loved being able to talk Spanish a bit however I really appreciated the SWK concept. So lovely to be part of such a friendly, inclusive, open minded group of parents and children of all ages. My children loved making new friends and so did I. Thank you Sophie, you’ve done a great job keeping everyone informed and included, organising outings and social evenings and generally being a great hostess and part of the group. Lovely that my little family of three feels so normal on a SWK holiday.
"
Emma and Ruby 8 - (Alcudia 2019)
" This was our first SWK holiday and we have had a great time. Hotel complex was nice although a gated complex would have been preferred for peace of mind for children having freedom to move around. We both really enjoyed the waterpark day – variety of rides and lots of fun was had by all. A great group of people. Ruby enjoyed having other children to play with. Love the idea of SWK and happy we have found this company. We will be booking again with SWK. Thanks all.
"
Amanda, Amber 9 and Alec 5 - (Alcudia 2019)
" Really enjoyed the pace of the holiday – never felt pressured to join in or do too much. Sophie the coordinator has taken the different ages of the kids into account so we can all holiday at our own pace. Thanks.
"
Caroline and Chloe 16 - (Alcudia 2019)
" Chloe and I have enjoyed this holiday lots. Thanks for being such a fun group. So many like-minded single parents. The new found love of Mojitos will last forever! Well done Sophie for looking after us.
"
Richard, Amy 13, Samuel 11, Isabel 9 and Isla 7 - (Alcudia 2018)
" We had a wonderful time here in Majorca. Thanks for hosting. All the best. "
Maria, Petra 13, Andrew 11 and Denni 8 - (Alcudia 2018)
" This was my first experience of a SWK holiday and I am very positive. There was a certain ‘comfort blanket’ provided for me as a widow with three kids that allowed me to really enjoy things. My three girls had a fantastic time meeting and playing with other kids. The facilities and all-inclusive were wonderful. Thanks for organising and I will certainly try it again.
Thank you for a fantastic holiday. We all had a great time on our second SWK holiday. Good luck with everything.
"
Diana, Scarlett 14 and Mimi 12 - (Alcudia 2018)
" My girls and I have had a lovely holiday. You were a great coordinator. Just the right mix of being there for us when we needed you and laying back when we were all ok. I personally enjoyed our day shopping in the market and swapping life stories. I also think it’s funny that we have both had our 15 minutes of stardom on TV. The group were a fantastic mix. As I’ve said we have set the bar high this year for a rematch. I hope you have lovely adventures and your life is full of laughter and love. "
Dennis and Ira 10 - (Alcudia 2018)
" Thank you for a lovely time. Another great SWK holiday. Alcudia and this seaclub are fantastic. Met a lot of great people. Most important is that Ira has had a great time. Thank you for the salsa move. Everything was well organised. You have a very relaxed manner and come across very friendly and put us all at ease and made the group work even though it was very large. I hope that you do future SWK groups and that we meet again. "
Oliver, Theo 7, Ben 7 and Jake 4 - (Alcudia 2018)
" Thank you so much for a fab week. We loved it. "
Gillian, Lucy 10 and Rachel 7 - (Alcudia 2018)
" We’ve had a lovely time in Alcudia. The hotel has had all the facilities we’ve needed and the excursions have been good too. It’s nice to be part of a group you can dip in and out of. Everyone’s been really friendly and the group seems to be just the right size, although it took me quite a while to remember who everyone was.
Rachel says “I liked everything, my favourite was the pool.”
Lucy says “I don’t want to go home. I want to stay here forever.”
Thanks for a great time. "
Ian and Eve 7 - (Alcudia 2018)
" First SWK holiday for me and Eve. Lovely people, lovely location. I haven’t laughed so much in a long time. Friendships made that will last for years. Will be booking for next year asap. "
Emma, Sam 13, Tom 12 and Kate 9 - (Alcudia 2018)
" We have had a lovely holiday making new friends. "
Karen and Enya 11 - (Alcudia 2018)
" Thank you so much. Has been an immediate friendly, welcoming group. So easy to mingle and make friends and relax. Great way to holiday. My daughter left my side on the transfer bus and hasn’t looked back since. Brilliant. Thank you so much. "
Jen and Heather 7 - (Alcudia 2018)
" This was our first SWK holiday abroad and we’ve loved it. The setup of separate apartments works very well for us and the relaxed environment in which people dip in and out again works well for us. What has made this great is the group dynamic. Everyone has made an effort to integrate with everyone else. Couldn’t have asked for more. "
Nina and Oscar 9 - (Alcudia 2018)
" First SWK holiday for us and it was brilliant. Met some fab people, hotel great and Becky was fab bringing us all together. I’d definitely use them again. A big thank you to Becky and SWK. "
Lou and Sonny 7 - (Alcudia 2018)
" This was our third SWK holiday and again has been fantastic. I feel like I’ve barely seen my son as he’s been off playing with his new friends but a happy kid = a happy mummy. Becky has been absolutely great. Nothing has been too much trouble and she has gone above and beyond expectations. We will definitely be back again. My only grumble that it goes too quickly! "
Fi, Thomas 8 and Imogen 4 - (Alcudia 2018)
" Thanks for a fantastic holiday. Thomas and Imogen have loved it. Imogen especially liked the kids club and they both really enjoyed the water park too. Thanks for organising us, you’ve been a great coordinator and reinstalled my confidence in SWK. Thank you. "
Debs & Aidan (Age 8) - (Alcudia 2017)
" This was our first overseas holiday together. As the Mum of a child with allergies, eczema and asthma I was anxious about the trip but I can honestly say it has been the BEST experience for Aidan and I. "
Sarah & Joseph (Age 6) - (Alcudia 2017)
" Our second SWK holiday. There’s always someone to share, the joy, tantrums and wine! "
Julie & Josh (Age 15) - (Alcudia 2017)
" This was our first holiday with Single with Kids. What a lovely bunch of people! "

Dennis & Ira 13 - (Alcudia 2016)
" Everything about this holiday made it possible for me and my daughter to have a great time. The resort, the hotel, the group were all fantastic. The group of people I met were very nice. My daughter made some lovely friends and enjoyed herself "
Simon & Daniel 15, Eloise 12, Lauren 10 - (Alcudia 2016)
" Sarah was excellent. Coordinated everything, but with no pressure to do anything if we didn't want to. She certainly knows how to make everyone feel relaxed and welcome. Because the coordinator makes it easy to participate to whichever level you feel comfortable at. "
Richard & Josephine 10, Ronald 9 - (Alcudia 2016)
" It's a great way to enjoy your time with your children and also have a holiday for yourself. The people in our group made our holiday special, we all got on so well. The venue helped but it was the people that made it. "
Annette & Sophie 9, Amy 5 - (Alcudia 2016)
" The hotel was great - the food, entertainers, pools and rooms were all fab. Location was ok; close enough to walk to beach, but really too far to walk to the Old Town. Our coordinator, Sarah, was great... Very calm and relaxed. It was great that we felt no pressure to do the events do opted in or out depending on what suited my girls.For the girls the highlight was horse-riding, playing in the pools and meeting other children. For me it was being able to have a great holiday with my girls.The concept really works and we had a great holiday. we loved our holiday and I'm pretty sure we'll be holiday img with SWK again. Thanks "
Andrew & Henry 10, Alice 7 - (Alcudia 2015)

" My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and will highly recommend you to anybody else. "
Jim & Dexter 12 - (Alcudia (2015))
" Great holiday, great hotel, great location, great group of people. "
Louise & Amelie - (Alcudia (2014))
" It hugely exceeded my expectations. I'd never been to an all inclusive hotel and the safety and freedom the kids had was brilliant for them and for me. The SWK co-ordination worked really well - I felt free to dip in and out of arrangements exactly as the literature suggested, and it was nice to have some familiar faces around. The hotel was pretty much what I expected - the balcony was lovely!

Guy and family of 3 - (Majorca)

There was a great group dynamic, it was great to feel that we were all in the same boat and the kids had a really fantastic time.
The highlight: Chatting to adults while watching the kids swimming in the sea at night. "

" A really great holiday, the kids made loads of friends and spent most of the time in the pool. I sat round the pool reading books and chatting. The staff at the hotel were really helpful, the restaurant provided a free cake for my daughters birthday.
Elaine was really helpful and went well beyond what I would have expected of her as a coordinator.
The highlight? The kids, making friends and swimming in the pool. Me. Having the time to relax and socialise knowing the kids were having a great time. It’s a great holiday for all the family. "
Roy and Mia 9 - (Majorca)
" It was a lovely holiday and great that all the parents and children got on so well. My daughter was sad that we only stayed 7 days!
The highlight? The lovely people that we shared the holiday with and the fun we all had together. "
Tracey and Harry, Jacob - (Majorca)
" Fantastic to be introduced to so many lovely people yet still have the freedom to be on our own family holiday and choose what we want to do. Was great to meet similar families to not be the only one-parent family surrounded by conventional families. A great confidence booster. Location was perfect for a family beach and pool holiday. Good selection of group activities which weren’t too expensive. "
Tracy and Maisie 6 - (Majorca)
" Great mix of families and playmates for my daughter, and so nice to be able to chat with parents in a similar position. Lisa our co-ordinator was great. Very calm and chilled, there to great us when we arrived, checked we were ok without being ‘in our face’ all the time and an all round lovely person to spend time with.
The highlight? For my daughter it was seeing dolphins at Marine world, for me it was watching her having such a great time with new friends in the pool
The accomodation was very family friendly and as a female i felt safe at all times, even in the resort late at night. "
Julie and Sam, Hannah - (Majorca)
" I have just returned from my first SWK holiday to Majorca. What a fab time we had. Of course it was nerve racking to start with but everyone was so friendly. A big thank you to Chrissie who made us so welcome. Everyone helped everyone out so it felt like you were on holiday with your family – perfect for people like me who have children of different ages with very different interests and needs.
When I think of the 3 holidays I took the kids on before SWk on my own and how lonely I felt and compare it to Majorca there is no comparison !!! I made some great friends that I have seen since arriving back in England – even though they live “up North” and they have introduced me to other SWK members too! My kids made great friends too, who they cant wait to meet up with at Wickstead. So if you are reading this and you have booked something and are nervous – don’t be! you will have a great time If you are thinking about taking the plunge and booking a SWK holiday go on do it! "
Paul and William 13, Jessica 10 - (Majorca)
" Excellent holiday, made returning to work today really hard – we should’ve done 10 days.
Good mix of mums and dads made a good group, like going on holiday with a large family but without family politics…we all had a great time.
The highlight? Diving off the starfish was good, the beach party and drinking local shots, taking the kids out, girls first then boys, on the pedaloes was great.
Most fun you can have with laughing. "
Natalie and Lola 6,Thea 4 - (Majorca)
" A nice group of people, very helpful and friendly coordinator, and all very well organised.
I think this is a really good holiday idea for single parents and I would definitely book another in the future. Having adult company for me was great, and the children had a wonderful time with other children of their own age.
The highlight? Spending time with my children in the secure environment of a group. Good value for money, comfortable hotel in a good location, and very family friendly. "

Lorraine and Louis 2 - (Majorca)
" Best hols I’ve ever been on, was relaxed from the start, the overall package of the holiday was just fantastic could not wish for a better place to stay and everything was ideal for my son, met lots of wonderful people from SWK from the start of the holiday and went home with a lot of wonderful new friends. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart. "
Tina and 6 children - (Majorca)
" It was great to have adult company, the kids always had someone to talk/hang out with. Plenty of trips offered but no pressure to take part. Entertainment at hotel was good. Loved every minute of holiday Location was excellent, beach couldn’t have been nearer if you tried. Chrissie was absolutely brilliant, made everyone feel so welcome, group events planned but no pressure to join in. Couldn’t have asked to have met a better group of people. Have made so many new friends. Excellent value for money even though i paid for 7 !!!!!. "
Kirsty and Maddie 4 - (Majorca)
" “It was fantastic! Lots of friends for Maddie, and I really appreciated the chance to chill out with a lovely bunch of people. Effectively 20 babysitters, the way we all looked out for one another’s kids and felt comfortable doing so. Will definitely be back! Would like to say thanks. Both Maddie and I blossomed on this holiday. It has shown me that I can cope with anything life throws at me because no matter how it feels when I’m at home with all my coupled up friends, I’m not unusual and there are people in the same boat. And what’s more they are fantastic people who I really want to keep in touch with. It may sound a bit sappy but coming away with SWK has totally changed my outlook on life. (Don’t you think that a lot of the time we were having way more fun than the ‘traditional’ families?! ;) Majorca Alcudia Testimonials ) Thanks again x” "
Amanda and Isabel 10, Billy 8, Ralph 4 - (Majorca)
" A fantastic holiday…everything we could have wished for and so much more!! Was so lovely to see the children enjoying themselves and able to have so much freedom, whilst being able to enjoy the company of adults and have a really good laugh!! It was so good to be part of a group where everyone was in the same boat. "
Claire and Dominic 8, Zac 11 months - (Majorca)
" This holiday was wonderful, it has given me a new lease of life! The thought of travelling with a baby was daunting at first, but now I have done it I feel that I can conquer anything. It was lovely to be in the company of such nice people and it has boosted my confidence levels. I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday fully. The beech party, the day trips out and the evening drinks by the pool really made it for me. My older son made lots of friends and so did I. I will definitely be going away on the next abroad trip, Thanks Chrissie and Richard, Love from Claire and the sprogs xxx "
Marie and Maisie 11, Tegan 8 - (Majorca)
" This was my first holiday ‘alone’ with my girls. SWK meant that we already had friends waiting for us when we reached the hotel. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Amanda was a great co-ordinator and we were made to feel comfortable by the group, immediately. Everyone was able to spend as much time with the group, or not, as they wished. There was plenty of fun and laughter, and I had a relaxing time…….a great way to take a holiday as a single parent due to a ready made support network of other parents in the same position – other people to go to dinner with, and always someone who’ll keep an eye on your kids for 5 minutes if needed. We all had a great time many thanks SWK "
Donna and Ryan, Caitlin - (Majorca)
" Fabulous time – perfect hosts Richard and Chrissie – plenty of daytime opportunities for group outings, no pressure applied – could do own thing if wanted or join in – loved evening get together on beach – fabulous idea great fun – a simple cheap but totally wonderful idea. Last evening get together at restaurant also well planned great idea and the 100% take up of it from group speaks for itself the lovely parents I met, the fantastic children my kids met, sat on the beach drinking sangria watching all the kids having fun in sea at nearly 11pm at night, feeling part of one massive family, feeling safe secure, knowing my kids were always being looked after if my back was turned, listening to my kids say it was the best holiday they had ever had, and finally seeing one of my kids in tears not wanting to come home, what better proof of a good time !!. "
Melanie and Rosie 10 - (Majorca)
" It was everything I hoped it would be. Great people, great coordinator, relaxed, not over organised. The first of many more holidays I hope! "
Val and Ben 9 - (Majorca)
" It was fantastic and the group was lovely, we all gelled well and the location was superb. Chrissie and Richard put a lot of effort into making us all feel welcome and getting the group together. My son loved it and has been so sulky since he came back I’ve booked another trip to console him! "
Niki and Joe - (Majorca)
" Perfect location and perfect company. Highlights every single day….! Perfect relaxed safe resort with clean and comfortable accommodation. Plenty to do whether you want to book a trip out for the day or stay close to the hotel…beach and shops all less then a couple of minutes walking. "
Simon and Tom, Jacob, Ella - (Majorca)
" This was one of the best holidays I have ever been on. The management and everything about it was first class. I only wished I had found SWK when you first started. Was going to say going away with SWK has been life changing but do not want you to think going too much over the top. But it has "
Julie and George 13, Evie 9 - (Majorca)

Talya and Sasha 12, Zak 9 - (Majorca)
" Great group of people, good set-up, made it all very easy. I came with SWK because I knew that if the kids were with other kids I’d have an easy time too, even if I just read my book, but the mums were lovely too "
Nikki and girls - (Majorca)
" So great to have people to talk to and the children made friends really easily because we are set up as one big happy family. It works really well. Sun sand and sangria, and good value compared to other single parent holidays "
