Luxury Hotels and Resorts

We spent Christmas in Singapore. Of those 2 weeks the highlight was our 3 days staying at Telunas Resort on their private island site. Along with the Private Island’s luxurious over-water villas we also had the chance to experience the fantastic family friendly facilities on the neighbouring Telunas Beach Resort site for a slightly different …

We only stayed one night, but the Almanity Hotel Hoi An was a resort, hotel, and spa, to fall in love with. We know Hoi An well now, after 2 months living on the edge of the historic Old Town and we know that standards in Vietnam are superb at the Almanity Hotel’s level. Still, …

If you’re looking for an incredible place to stay near the UNESCO listed Hoi An Old Town yet with views of the East Vietnam Sea and the Cham Island Biosphere Reserves, the Sunrise Premium Resort Hoi An could be the resort hotel for you.  It’s a fantastic resort with luxury appointments, a spa, incredible dining …

Food is one of our favourite things and food photography is part of that. Chef and I were very impressed with the food on offer at Novotel Surin Beach and we have rather a lot of photos to share, so here’s a selection for you to enjoy. Everyone Instagrams their breakfast right? Thai salads and …

It’s hard to know where to stay in Bangkok and finding family accommodation in Thailand’s vibrant capital is harder still.

Finding accommodation as you travel ( budget to free being hardest) is a huge topic and one that is mentioned all over this website, but you, and I, need one post to put everything on the same page. Finding a place to stay, be it a hotel, guest house, hostel, apartment, caravan, mud hut or …

I’m famous for saying that AirBnb is useless for families and we never use it. If you’re not on Facebook you may not know that, so I’m putting it out there via the blog today because I’ve (possibly) changed my mind. After 3+ years of full-time travel I’m sitting in a glorious light-filled apartment, footsteps …

This family apartment in Kensington,London, was so lovely that we just wanted to drop the packs and stay forever. It was in West Kensington, just a couple of minutes walk from West Kensington tube station. This area has a lot of huge old buildings and many have been converted into short let flats and apartments. …

We’ve enjoyed 5 nights at the Armada Old City hotel in Sultanahmet, Istanbul. Sultanahmet is the tourist hub of the city, this is where you’ll find Istanbul’s major historic attractions, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace. All are outstanding on a global scale and we really can’t recommend them highly …
