On her @kirstygladden, she said her family love the Magic Natura Animal, Water Park & Polynesian Lodge Resort in Benidorm, which is a water park and a zoo resort.
In a clip which has racked up over 57,000 likes, she shared: 'Can you believe this family resort is only 2 hours away from the UK?
'It's not gonna break your bank if you decide to book. If you're looking for a cheap family holiday, then keep watching.
'There are two main swimming pools in this resort, and they are all catered around children.'
She advised that you should stay in a private lodge - which comes in a range of one, two and three-bedroom options - and you also get access to the whole water park, which has a mixture of children and adult rides.
Kirsty shared how you can also get up close and personal to some animals too.
She added: 'Also, the opportunity to swim with sea lions — obviously at an extra charge.
'As well as that, you also get access to their own zoo.
'There are hundreds of animals here, and you can visit this as often as you like.'
The resort is located in the Terra Natura animal park, which has a 'zooimmersion' concept, meaning you can interact with more than 1,000 animals, including tigers, rhinos, and elephants, without barriers blocking your view.
This holiday park has Maldives-like overwater bungalows
Another perk of the Magic Natura is that they have evening entertainment on every single night.
Kirsty explained these include shows, karaoke, and quiz nights — and all of these 'get the children really, really involved.'
There is also entertainment during the day, including foam parties, bingo, darts, mini disco, and even a circus show.
Meanwhile, older children can also access a games room free of charge.

She added: 'At this resort, there's an option to be all inclusive or ultra all inclusive — which means you get food, drinks, snacks all included.'
The mum explained that ultra includes restaurants, pizza delivery, and also shows.
Kirsty shared how the resort is a 10-minute drive from Benidorm's beach, and there is a free bus service to spend the day down there.
In her video, she claimed that for two adults, and one child, she paid less than £2,000 for nine days.
Many people were quick to chime in with their views on the resort, with one saying: 'The facilities are amazing.'
Another added: 'Love this place we've booked again for March.'

A third said: "This is horrible. This country is horrible." While a fourth wrote: "That's actually really sad and inhumane to make fun of them like that!" When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. ✈️🎶 Nothing beats it! Trump came into office in January 2025, where he shared promises of starting the largest deportation in the US's history. In June, ICE ( Immigration and Customs Enforcement) deported more than 15,000 people with aims for 3,000 arrests a day, according to the Metro. Trump has also cancelled temporary legal status for millions of immigrants, meaning they are at risk of deportation. Jet2 and The White House have been contacted for a comment.

Jess Glynne blasts White House over ‘sick' video using Jet2 Holidays viral song

An incensed Jess Glynne has hit out at the White House after its official account jumped on the Jet2 Holidays viral trend to tweet about deportations. The travel operator's earworm of a jingle, which mixes Glynne's chart-topping 2015 song Hold My Hand with a catchy voice over from former Hollyoaks actress Zoe Lister, has become this summer's unexpected social media trend. TikTok users in particular, from places as far flung as the Philippines and people including Hollywood star Jeff Goldblum, have enjoyed filming their own versions and joke clips while using the trending audio. In a bizarre turn of events, the official government X account of President Donald Trump's White House jumped on the trend on Tuesday, playing the jingle over the top of a video showing people in handcuffs being ushered onto ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) deportation flights in America. The White House's X post, where the accompanying video now has 11.5million views, is captioned: 'When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!' Singer Glynne took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share her outrage over the White House involving itself in the light-hearted trend with its own twist. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'This post honestly makes me sick,' she began. 'My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate.' Voice actress Lister also condemned the move, posting a picture on Instagram of herself leaning her chin in her hand. 'What can be done about @whitehouse using @jet2pics sound and my voiceover to promote their nasty agenda?' she wrote alongside her Story. To keep things light she then followed up with a clip of herself pulling a face and sliding her sunglasses over her eyes as the caption read: 'When your voiceover demands that you comment on US politics.' The White Houses video also shows immigration officers dragging people out of vans and parading them onto planes bound for foreign countries. It also features a screenshot of the US government app CBP Home, which is being used to allow migrants currently in the United States to self-deport, before ending with Trump smirking and giving a thumbs up to the camera. ICE is aiming for 3,000 arrests of immigrants in the US per day, with the video a clear attempt to promote Trump's migration strategy. However, it was met with shock online, as users branded it 'disgusting' and 'insane', with Gavin Wilson adding: 'The world is losing its grip on reality.' Journalist Will Lancaster revealed he had to 'double, and then triple check, at who [sic.] posted this'. 'It actually IS the official White House page, using a British airline advert trend to boast about deporting immigrants from their country, even including a Trump cameo at the end. 'Lost for words,' he added. More Trending Glynne, 35, and Lister , 43, finally met one another in person earlier this month when they appeared on Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, to celebrate being the sound of the British heatwave summer of 2025. The I'll Be There singer Jess shared that she was grateful for the renewed interest in the song, revealing: 'Yeah, it's a massive surprise, 100%. It's the most amazing thing to see though.' She then performed her own version of Lister's famous voiceover, reading the full script out in the studio: 'Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday. And right now, you can save £50 per person. That's £200 off for a family of four!' Metro has contacted the White House for comment. Got a story?

Mum slams 'chaos' as Italian seaside town 'shoulder to shoulder with tourists'

Regina Simmons has hit out at a 'totally packed' Italian hotspot, claiming Positano was nothing like the tranquil paradise shown on social media. A tourist has described her holiday to an Italian seaside town as "complete chaos" claiming she was "shoulder to shoulder" with tourists. ‌ Regina Simmons, 38, had high hopes for Positano after falling in love with the 'amazing views' and 'calm, empty streets' shown in glossy videos on social media, including TikTok, reports the Mirror. ‌ But after flying 10 hours from her home in Las Vegas, Nevada, the mum-of-two said tat she and her family were disappointed with the historic town on the Amalfi Coast. ‌ Regina said: "In the videos, you see everything looks completely empty and calm. In real life there were far too many people. It was just bananas... We were overwhelmed by the amount of people. We had to look for a restaurant to hide in and make a game plan." Her experience comes after a warning to Brit tourists planning all-inclusive holidays to Spain. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Regina, her husband Dan, 46, and their daughters Sofia, 16, and Camila, 13, visited Rome and other hotspots across Italy last month. ‌ After watching TikTok clips, Regina anticipated "amazing views" along with "calm empty streets" and "locals buying fresh vegetables from the markets". ‌ From the moment they arrived at the train station, Regina said it felt "like a horror movie" as swarms of tourists packed the platforms. The businesswoman, who owns a chain of restaurants, hadn't expected the crush. "Positano is all these tight little streets and everyone is walking together. Half the people are going up and half are going down. It was complete chaos. Everyone was touching, shoulder to shoulder," the mum continued. ‌ "There are hundreds of beautiful videos of Positano which inspire you to go. This year feels very trendy - lots of my American friends are travelling to Italy this year." The couple imagined peaceful strolls, scenic views, and locals picking up fresh produce from quiet markets. ‌ But when they did spot a quaint shop or cafe, the crowds made it impossible to stop. Regina, who had stayed at a hotel in Sorrento and ventured east to Positano for a day trip, said: "We found everything was in English and there were Americans everywhere. I actually took Italian classes, and I never needed to use it." If they return to Europe for a holiday, the couple say they will look at other countries. Mum-of-two Regina continued: "If it's trendy on social media, everyone wants to do what everyone else is doing, Myself included... Don't believe everything you see on social media."
