Help Tether using WIFI Connection not Mobile Data

I am able to tether on my network however I need to tether in a certain way...

I go to Spain :smokingsomb: a fair bit to stop with the Wife's family but I have difficulty connecting my non android (apple) devices to their wifi - Laptops are fine though..

What I was planning on doing was connecting my Galaxy S3 to their WIFI network then use tethering to connect my iPhones. This would be great but as soon as you tether a warning comes up on the S3 saying that the current WIFi will be disconnected and reverts to 3G, this would be fine in the UK but i want to avoid high Data Costs abroad, so.....

Anyone know if / how i can tether other devices to the S3 but keep it connected to a fixed WIFI connection to avoid using mobile data? I'm not even sure if it's technically possibvle on other devices.....

Many thanks

Not possible. You only have one WiFi radio and it cannot work as a receiver and hotspot at the same time.
