## FamilyFactor methodology (one-line per dimension)

1. **Kid amenities** (0-100): water park, kids club, character dining, splash pad, playground, teen lounge, supervised programming
2. **Room fit** (0-100): suites, connecting rooms, bunk beds, kitchenettes, family-of-4-6 sleeping configurations
3. **Location** (0-100): proximity to attractions, walkability, beach access, neighborhood safety
4. **Pricing** (0-100): value for family of 4, kids-free policies, all-inclusive vs nickel-and-dime fees
5. **Safety** (0-100): pool gates, balcony childproofing, gated property, vetted babysitting
6. **Parent recovery** (0-100): adult-only zones, spa, quiet pools, on-property bars, distance between kid and adult zones

Composite is a weighted average — Kid amenities + Room fit weight highest for family-marketed resorts.
