Resort quality is often uniform on paper. What actually determines a good family holiday are the small things.
The 8 Questions
Run through these before you book:
- Are there connecting rooms available?
- How deep is the pool — and is it fenced?
- Is there a genuine kids’ menu?
- What are the meal timings — buffet or à la carte?
- Is there ground-floor accommodation for seniors?
- How far is the resort from key sightseeing?
- Are there in-house activities on rainy or hot days?
- What is the check-in and early-arrival policy?
Key Takeaways
- Connecting rooms and pool safety matter more than aesthetics
- Ask about meal timings and kids’ menus explicitly
- Ground-floor rooms are gold for senior travellers
