Help me choose a destination from constraints.

Dates / school terms: [details]
Flight tolerance: [max hours / UK only]
Budget feel: [rough]
Must-have: [beach, city, kids clubs — list]
Deal-breakers: [list]
Who's going: [details]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. Five destination matches with why.
2. Trade-offs for the top three.
3. For each abroad option: mark entry/passport points as check on GOV.UK foreign travel advice — do not state rules as certain.
4. A next step to compare two finalists.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, prices, opening hours or bookings. Rules change, so don't state entry, visa or passport rules as certain — mark each 'check' and point me to GOV.UK foreign travel advice (and the passport/renew pages) so I confirm myself. This is planning help, not immigration or travel insurance advice. UK English.

For GOV.UK foreign travel advice for each shortlisted country, use web search and name the page you used. If it doesn't search on its own, open View all tools and choose Search.
