About Travel Without Children

Travel Without Children covers places that do not take children, and checks whether the policy behind the label actually holds. Adults-only is a marketing word before it is a rule: it can mean a whole resort, one wing of it, one season of the year, or nothing enforceable at all. This site is for readers who booked on the label once and arrived to find it did not mean what they thought.

Every category is assessed on the policy rather than the photography: what the stated minimum age is, whether it covers the whole property or one building, whether it lapses in school holidays, and what the operator will confirm in writing. Where a policy cannot be established, the page says the label is unverified instead of repeating it.

Facts come from primary sources. Minimum ages and adults-only policies are checked against the operator’s own terms and booking conditions, because that is the only version that binds anyone, and they are given as of a date. Anything numeric carries the date it was checked, because a price without a date is not information. Geographic data comes from GeoNames and OpenStreetMap, photographs from Wikimedia Commons under their individual Creative Commons licences, and time zone data from the IANA database.

We do not accept payment for a placement, a ranking or a favourable review. Where a link earns a commission, the page carrying it says so. We do not claim to have tested something we have not: plan details and prices that come from a provider rather than from our own checking are labelled as such. And we do not publish a page to fill a gap in a keyword list.

If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and say that we did. Email [email protected] with the page and what is inaccurate. Corrections to a specific fact are made on the page, and the update date on the page changes with them.
