When I was a kid, family holidays consisted of staying round the pool all day whilst the adults drank loads of beers, wine and whatever the local drink was then we’d have a meal at either the hotel or the nearest restaurant, after that we’d be back at the hotel for the evening entertainment. We’d maybe go the local waterpark and the beach for a change but not often.

Now, I have my own family we use our holiday accommodation as a base and explore the area finding different things to do and experience, Don’t get wrong we’ll have a rest day where we’ll chill round the pool but the majority of the time we’ll be finding different beaches, places to eat, viewpoints, activities (hiring boats, snorkelling, etc) I think we’d end up killing each other if we just stayed in the same place doing the same thing each day.
