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.'

One of UK's 'best wild swimming spots' has beautiful waterfalls and clear waters
There are plenty of beautiful wild swimming spots in the UK but there's one breathtaking spot that's worth having on your radar if you like to avoid the crowds Brits looking for a dose of staycation inspiration may want to consider a trip to Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), as its breathtaking landscapes are home to one storybook-worthy spot. Those who don their hiking boots and head towards Mount Snowdon along the Watkin Path will want to leave time to explore the woodlands, and keep an eye out for the Watkins Path Waterfall. This beautiful spot boasts a series of ethereal falls cascading down the mountainside, down to postcard-worthy pools with crystal-clear waters that wouldn't be out of place in a fairytale. (In fact, they've actually been dubbed as the 'Fairy Falls' by locals for exactly that reason). Of course if you are heading to the national park, you may want to heed one hiker's warning after he got to the top of Mount Snowdon only to be floored by what he found. The waterfall hotspot has an ideal mix of being easy to reach because of its location on the popular hiking route, but still being secluded enough that you don't need to fight off crowds of tourists if you want to check it out for yourself. It's therefore no surprise that they're regularly tipped to be among the best wild swimming spots in the UK, although the waters boast an average temperature of 14C so if you are going to brave a dip, you may want to pack a wetsuit into your hiking gear. Still, even if you don't want to take a dip they're well worth visiting, if only for the gorgeous scenery. Visitors who've made the trek haven't been left disappointed. "A lovely little walk on a hot day," one happy holidaymaker wrote on Tripadvisor. "This took around 30 minutes and was worth seeing. There are lots of walks in this area. There was lots of parking, public lavatories and access to the river." Another added: "A beautiful hidden waterfall, it's quiet there. We had nobody there, you have to take stairs down it's quite steep but the waterfall is nice." While it is on hiking route, it's easily accessible so more seasoned hikers may want to look at alternative routes if they're looking for a challenging trek before heading to the falls. One person explained: "Beautiful but much shorter walk than we expected. Up a steep hill to reach the falls but a great bench for watching the fall." If you're planning to climb to the top of Mount Snowdon however, then you may want to prepare for long queues to get to the top. In recent months, visitors have been left shocked as they've arrived and found queues of up to an hour long just to reach the summit, even during the early hours of the morning. It's also worth checking the weather; one woman was left disappointed after enjoying a long hike and waiting her turn to reach the top, only to then realise she couldn't see very much because of the fog. Taking to TikTok to share a clip of her hike, she quipped in the caption: "POV: You get mostly clear skies hiking Snowdon then it does you dirty at the summit."

It is just a lot for me to take in at the moment. I am just a normal person from Newcastle. 'It is crazy, stay locked in, got some big news coming.' He went on to share a picture with Tony Truman, the co-owner of Ocean Beach Ibiza nightclub. More Trending Jack has since racked up more than 16,000 followers and has also found himself an agent. Other details have since come to light about his life back in the UK after a woman has now claimed she is his girlfriend. Alisha Cook, 23, shared a series of videos of the 'Ibiza final boss' captioned 'POV ya boyfriends now known as Ibiza final boss'. She is seen cosying up to Jack, including clips of him kissing her cheek and the two of them partying together.
