Episode notes
Marriott Is A Mixed Bag For Families
- Marriott offers a huge brand footprint but presents inconsistent family perks and upgrade experiences.
- Expect variability across Marriott properties; it's a mixed bag for family travel needs.
Holiday Inn's Family-First Consistency
- IHG's Holiday Inn brand is highly reliable for families with predictable pools, tubs, and kids-eat-free perks.
- Holiday Inn resorts extend that family-first approach into resort destinations worldwide.
Choose Ziva For Family All-Inclusive Value
- Consider Hyatt Ziva for family all-inclusive trips since it consistently delights families and accepts points in some cases.
- Expect per-person pricing at all-inclusives, so budget for each family member rather than assuming fixed room rates.
