How it works

Four inputs decide every shortlist

We do not rank resorts by star rating or brochure photography. Each dossier is built from four inputs you control: the month you travel, your total family budget, the ages of your children, and the beach priority that matters most to you.

  1. 01

    Travel month

    Season sets water temperature, seaweed, wind and price. July in Antalya and October in Hurghada behave like two different destinations, so the shortlist is rebuilt for each travel window.

  2. 02

    Total family budget

    Budget is set for the whole family, not per person, and covers flights from Kyiv, Lviv or Odesa, transfer, insurance and board. The same resort can sit in two price bands depending on the month you fly.

  3. 03

    Kids' ages

    Age changes what a resort has to deliver: shallow entry and shaded pools for toddlers, waterslides and fixed club hours for school children, quieter rooms and evening space for teenagers.

  4. 04

    Beach priority

    Sand or pebble, distance to the waterline, wave exposure, lifeguard presence and sunbed availability are recorded for every resort, so you know how far you will walk before you book.

Every dossier carries at least three beach-access data points, kids' club hours, all-inclusive inclusions and airport transfer time.

The shortlist flow

Four steps from trip dates to a resort shortlist you can compare

Every dossier on this site is built the same way, so two hotels can be placed side by side, line by line, before you pay a deposit.

  1. Set your trip context

    Tell us the month you can travel, your total budget, your kids' ages, and whether you fly from Kyiv, Lviv, or Odesa. Those four inputs decide which resorts are worth opening at all.

  2. Screen the beach access

    Distance to the sand in meters, entry type, wave exposure, lifeguard cover, and sunbed availability. A resort without all five data points does not reach the shortlist.

    Georgia, Turkiye, and Egypt entries are screened on the same five fields.

  3. Check the family amenities

    Kids' club hours, all-inclusive inclusions, pool depth and shading, airport transfer length, and medical access are logged for each property, including how far the nearest clinic is.

  4. Compare the shortlist by date band

    We show price ranges per travel month and per departure city, next to the beach proof, so a cheaper July week and a pricier September week can be weighed on the same page.

The flow ends at the destination comparison tool, where the shortlist sits side by side.

Data Methodology

Where the numbers in every dossier come from

Beach distance, kids' club hours and date-band prices are recorded from the same sources on the same schedule each month, so two resorts can be compared without guesswork.

Sources we log

  1. Official resort websites. Pool hours, kids' club schedules and all-inclusive inclusions, read from the published resort pages.
  2. Verified guest reviews. The last twelve months only, filtered to stays that included children.
  3. Direct hotel inquiries. Distance to sand in meters, entry type (sand or pebble), wave exposure, lifeguard cover and sunbed availability.
  4. Airline and transfer timetables. Flight duration and airport transfer time measured from Kyiv, Lviv and Odesa departures.

Monthly update cycle

  1. Week 1 Source sweep across resort pages and review platforms.
  2. Week 2 Beach and amenity re-check, including kids' club opening hours.
  3. Week 3 Price band refresh for each departure city and travel window.
  4. Week 4 Dossier republished with a new verified date.

Verified date: every dossier carries the date of its last check next to the resort name, plus the month of the next scheduled re-check. We take no sponsorship or commission from resorts, so a dossier is revised only when the underlying data changes.
