HOTELS & RESORTS HUB
From airport hotels and city stays to pre-cruise hotels and family resorts, these are places we’ve actually stayed — with honest reviews, practical comparisons and the details that matter when travelling as a family.
Whether you’re deciding if an airport hotel is worth paying more for, choosing where to stay before a cruise or looking for a family resort, start with the type of stay you’re planning.
Airport hotels that make travel day easier
An airport hotel can take the pressure off an early start — but location, parking and price can make a big difference. Here are the airport hotels we’ve actually stayed in, including where paying more for convenience was worth it.
City hotels for family trips and short breaks
From weekend city breaks to hotels that form part of a longer journey, location can matter just as much as the room. These are the city hotels we’ve stayed in, with the practical details that made a difference to our trip.
Where to stay before your cruise
A good pre-cruise hotel should make embarkation day easier, not add another complication. Our stays look at location, getting to the port and whether we’d choose the hotel again before another cruise.
Family resorts we’ve actually stayed in
For a resort holiday, the hotel is a much bigger part of the experience. From rooms and food to pools, facilities and location, these are the resorts we’ve stayed in and what worked for us as a family.
