The Solution

If you have followed all the clues to their fullest extent (and done some deductive thinking along the way!), your grid should end up filled in something like this...

So, we can conclude the following:

The Smith family are sitting under the red umbrella, staying 11 days, and are on the side of the pool opposite the hotel.
The Thompson family are under the black umbrella, staying 13 days, and are sitting nearest the beach.
The Brown family has the purple umbrella, 15 days of holiday, and are located nearest the hotel.
The Davies family is sitting under the green umbrella, staying for 8 days, and are opposite the beach next to the Burns'.
The Burns family has the stylish silver umbrella, but only for 5 days, and are sitting next to the Davies' opposite the beach.

Congratulations if you managed to work all this information out correctly!
