Initially, the author chose family-focused resorts for traveling with her toddler, but after a disappointing experience at an all-inclusive resort, she shifted her approach. The resort, despite its family-friendly marketing, lacked suitable amenities for very young children, leading her to realize that most family resorts cater more to school-aged kids. Now, she prefers luxury hotels, which often provide essential toddler amenities like cribs and mini fridges, and can even accommodate additional requests through rental services. The exceptional service at these hotels enhances her travel experience, allowing her to enjoy adult-focused amenities while still catering to her child’s needs.
