The conversation dives into real-world considerations like room configurations, kids club quality, dining flexibility, and how hotel design impacts both parents and children. It also explores the gap between hotel marketing and on-the-ground reality, and how Travel Advisors can better evaluate properties beyond surface-level claims. Throughout, clear patterns emerge around what thoughtful hospitality looks like for families versus what simply checks a box.
