How to get complimentary hotel breakfast for your family

December 17, 2024 by

Who doesn’t love the idea of a free hotel breakfast? It’s not just about saving money — it’s about stepping out of bed and easing into your day with breakfast just steps away. For families, this perk is a game-changer, especially when you’re traveling with kids who wake up hungry and ready to go.

Here’s the funny truth: at home, breakfast for us adults might be nothing more than a quick coffee or maybe nothing at all as we rush through the morning. But in a hotel? We become the ultimate breakfast fans! Something about a full spread of eggs, pancakes, pastries, and fresh juice makes mornings feel like a treat. So, let’s dive into how you can get a free breakfast at a hotel for the whole family.

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, the Hotel Review

October 17, 2023December 15, 2021 by

In April 2021, exhausted with covid fatigue, we decided to look for a vacation spot for our Thanksgiving break. We didn’t want to deal with the ambiguity of international travel during the pandemic and decided to go to Hawaii instead.

This was our first time in Honolulu (and Oahu) and our 4th in Hawaii (we’ve been to Maui twice and once to Kauai). Although we love nature, hiking, and sightseeing dearly, for this vacation, we only planned to spend time mostly on the beach and to enjoy good food. So, this post is more of a resort review rather than a story about a Hawaiian experience.

Visiting San Luis Obispo with kids

August 25, 2023October 10, 2021 by

We love road trips! You don’t have to stress out about plane tickets or packing too much, and you can stop whenever you feel like it.

However, having a new baby and the pandemic made things more difficult for traveling. When baby Zoe was seven months and Sophia was 6.5 years old, we decided to give it a try and planned our first little getaway. This was the first time we traveled as a family of four, and we agreed upon a little town on the Central Coast of California — San Luis Obispo. It was only a 2.5-hour drive from us and wasn’t that busy, given the time of the year (March) and all the restrictions.
