• Kate Weedon (Abigail Cruttenden, series 1–2; recurring, series 3) is a tightly-wound and working-class holidaymaker who is infuriated at her husband Martin’s booking of the Solana for their summer holiday and quickly grows disgust at the chaos around her throughout her stays at the hotel. Intelligent, sarcastic and emotionally restless, Kate is dissatisfied in her marriage to Martin and is desperate to become a mother, something which is delicate in her marriage as Martin is infertile. She has a one night stand with barman Mateo during the first series, which sparks her eventual transformation into a more impulsive, self-aware character, which contrasts sharply to Martin’s stagnation. Her marriage to Martin breaks down off-screen after the second series and they separate. She briefly returns during the third series after Martin is robbed and helps him to secure a passport to return home though she rejects his suggestion of reconciliation as she has began a new relationship.
• Martin Weedon (Nicholas Burns, series 1–3; recurring, series 6) is the socially awkward, anxious husband of Kate. Desperate to be respected and admired by his wife, he is repeatedly undermined by his own bad decisions in his attempts to save his marriage. His discovery of Kate’s infidelity triggers a breakdown that exposes his vulnerability and begins a long-running feud with Solana barman Mateo, who he defeats in an arm wrestling competition. Despite his separation from Kate, he returns to the Solana with a new holiday companion named Brandy in the third series, where he attempts to step out of his comfort zone and appeal to her working-class, less luxurious lifestyle. After being robbed by Brandy, he attempts to reconcile with Kate, which is unsuccessful, whereas his distant relationship with his self-absorbed mother is also explored. He returns home attempting to rebuild himself after the conclusion of his marriage, with his pride and poor judgement having continued to sabotage him throughout their separation period. He briefly returns in the sixth series as a member of his friend’s stag party, where they cause chaos around the Solana pool area and bribe staff to allow their behaviour through financial gain. He has a one night stand with the much younger, glamorous Bianca Dyke though a subsequent date is unsuccessful as his attempts to impress her are thwarted. In a rare form of luck, he manages to win big in a casino, marking his final appearance.
• Noreen Maltby (Elsie Kelly, series 1–5, 7–10) is a kind-hearted, oblivious mother who frequently holidays with her adolescent son Geoff. Her intrusive, though innocent, behaviour often embarrasses Geoff, who publicly claims that she is his personal assistant, ashamed to be on holiday with his mother as an adult. After Geoff moves out of her home and starts a new life elsewhere, she holidays with her alcoholic daughter Pauline, with Noreen’s personality traits quickly confusing and angering her daughter in a similar fashion. Noreen attempts to build friendships with other regular holidaymakers and spends one year vacating solely, which she admits was a mistake. Her later storylines include the revelation that Geoff was adopted, which brings mother and son closer together, and dealing with Pauline’s repetitive relapses from her alcohol addiction.
• Geoff Maltby (Johnny Vegas, series 1–3, 7–9) is the insecure, socially awkward son of Noreen. A competitive pub quiz champion, he nicknames himself “The Oracle” and attempts to impress other holidaymakers with his general knowledge and frequently lies to gain the attention of others. He is embarrassed of his over-bearing mother and is often ridiculed as a result of her innocent actions. He develops a relationship with Chantelle Garvey, which enhances his emotional maturity, and they decide to move in together after the third series, going on to have a son. He returns in the seventh series with his mother, where he reveals he and Chantelle have separated and has a short-lived engagement to Ionella, which ends after his lies of wealth and luxury are exposed. He gradually becomes closer and more patient with his mother after it is revealed that he was adopted. His later storylines focus on his concerns for his sister Pauline, attempting to help her during her relapses with alcoholism and tries to end her controlling romantic relationship.
• Mick Garvey (Steve Pemberton, series 1–6; recurring, series 7) is the loud, flirtatious patriarch of the Garvey family, happiest with a beer in hand and on a cheap holiday deal. He frequently clashes with his impulsive mother-in-law Madge though comes to support her during difficult periods. He has a strong marriage to his wife Janice, despite their recurring arguments over his tightness when it comes to money. He takes over the artificial tanning business empire that belonged to his father-in-law Mel Harvey, though his incompetence and disobedience results in the business burning to the ground and leaving the family penniless after he failed to pay for the insurance beforehand. He leaves alongside the rest of his family for a new life in Las Vegas after it is discovered that Madge is the rightful owner of a hotel there.
• Janice Garvey (Siobhan Finneran, series 1–6; recurring, series 7) is the sensible counterbalance to her husband Mick, displaying traits of being practical, warm and fiercely maternal. She often acts as the emotional glue holding her chaotic family together. Janice is long-suffering but assertive, regularly calling out Mick’s selfishness while still being deeply in love with him. She provides stability for her children, particularly Chantelle, whose rebellion and teenage pregnancy worries her. Her recurring storylines focus on family loyalty, financial stress and marital compromise. She leaves in the seventh series with the rest of her family as they move to Las Vegas amidst the revelation of Madge’s multi-million pound fortune of a luxury hotel.
