About these comparisons

How are these comparisons put together?

Each one takes the two highest-scoring family properties in a destination and puts their FamilyFactor scores side by side. Nothing is hand-written per pair — every number and claim comes from the same catalog that powers the property pages. There are 121 comparisons because that is how many destinations have two properties strong enough and close enough to be a real decision.

What is FamilyFactor?

FamilyFactor is WhichFamilyVacation's 0-100 family-suitability score. It is built from six dimensions, each scored out of 100: kid amenities, room fit for families, location, value for a family of four, safety, and parent downtime.

Why do some destinations have no comparison page?

A destination is skipped when it has only one strong property, when the two best are too far apart in score to be a genuine choice, or when they score so similarly across the board that there is nothing useful to say. A ranking is not a comparison, so we do not publish one as if it were.

Do you get paid if I book?

Yes. Booking links on these pages are affiliate links, and we earn a commission if you book through them. That never changes the scores — FamilyFactor is calculated from property attributes, not from what a partner pays.
