InterContinental Bali Sanur, located on a family-friendly beach, is an excellent destination for families seeking a relaxing getaway. The picturesque hotel features stunning swimming pools, luxurious guest rooms, and delightful dining options.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the modern two-bedroom pool villa. Spread over two levels, this sleek space includes two spacious en-suite bedrooms, a separate lounge and dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. The refreshing private swimming pool provided a welcome respite after a day at the beach, and we appreciated the villa’s prime location, which is close to Sanur’s popular eateries and shopping spots.

The five-star resort also boasts a sprawling infinity pool, a world-class spa, a fully equipped fitness center, and a charming beachfront restaurant.

Samabe Bali Suites and Villas is one of our all time favorite luxury all inclusive resorts. and you know we’ve been to a lot! The decadent villas, stunning views, beachfront location and impeccable service were everything we wanted out of a five star resort. The highlights were no buffets aside from breakfast, only a la carte dining, room service 24/7 and delicious handcrafted cocktails. Menu items included fresh seafood and even lobster. Signature activities were also included in the unlimited all inclusive package at no extra charge. A few of our favourites were the in villa foam party, turtle release, Korean bbq, private yoga, and in villa massage. There were so many options you would need longer than a week to try them all.  The grounds were beautifully manicured in traditional Balinese style and a scenic elevator transports guests to the idyllic private beach.  Everything you need for a luxury beach vacation.

JW Marriott Hotel Nara brings luxury to Nara, Japan.  We’ve always loved visiting this town, feeding deer at the park, shopping along the historic streets, and sampling the local cuisine. At JW Marriott we were able to book a spacious and decadent suite for our family, enjoyed the benefits of the premium Executive Lounge, refresh at the indoor swimming pool, and sample local ingredients and delicious fare at the signature restaurants. The team are very family friendly giving our children a personalized welcome and setting up a treasure hunt for them throughout the property. They were able to meet our kids’ food requests and ensured we had a fun filled schedule. A complimentary shuttle ensures guests can reach popular tourist sites in the area and the team assisted with everything from restaurant reservations to airport transfer and more.  A must for families visiting the region.
