I agree Sunny. We have a family holiday in the UK every year, and over the years we have gradually been able to stay out a wee bit later, according to the age of our children. Last year we were able to stay out til amost 10pm before the kids got too tired (which was really late compared to the year before!), but we always go back to our accomodation together, and basically find something to do there whilst the kids sleep. It's nice to be able to stay out later, but that'll come over time as they get older and are able to stay awake for longer.

This is why I brought up the question of whether it was a "done thing" on holidays abroad. I know a lot of these resorts are geared round families, and I wasn't sure if it was something that many families tend to do. Maybe someone who visits these resorts will be able to answer that question.
