Family Hotel Reviews — Marina Bay Sands, Interlaken, Bangkok & Bintan

Where you stay can make or break a family trip. These episodes show the hotels we've actually stayed in — the rooms, the views, the pools and whether they were worth it.

From Marina Bay Sands and its famous rooftop infinity pool in Singapore to a hotel with Alpine views in Interlaken, the hidden-gem Khum Damnoen Resort near Bangkok and D'Bamboo Kamp on Bintan island.

Our tips

  • The Marina Bay Sands infinity pool is for hotel guests only. Non-guests can still enjoy the view from the paid SkyPark Observation Deck.
  • European hotel rooms are often smaller than in Asia — book a family room or connecting rooms rather than squeezing into a standard double.
  • Check whether breakfast is included; in expensive countries like Switzerland it can save a lot.
  • Resorts outside the big cities, like those around Bangkok, are easiest to reach by car.
  • Flexible, free-cancellation rates cost a little more but help when plans change with kids.

Frequently asked questions

Can non-guests use the Marina Bay Sands pool?

No, the rooftop infinity pool is reserved for hotel guests. Visitors can buy tickets to the SkyPark Observation Deck for a similar view.

Is Interlaken a good base in Switzerland?

Yes. It sits between two lakes with easy train connections to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and the rest of the Jungfrau region, and it's the hub for activities like paragliding.

What is Khum Damnoen Resort like?

It's a quieter resort outside central Bangkok. Our video walks through the rooms and grounds and what the stay was like, so you can judge whether it suits your family.

හෝටල් reviews — සිංහලෙන්

Marina Bay Sands සහ එහි වහලය උඩ තියෙන පිහිනුම් තටාකය, ස්විට්සර්ලන්තයේ Interlaken හෝටලයක්, බැංකොක් අසල Khum Damnoen Resort සහ Bintan වල D'Bamboo Kamp ගැන අපේ ඇත්ත අත්දැකීම් මේ වීඩියෝ වල තියෙනවා.

  • Marina Bay Sands පිහිනුම් තටාකයට යන්න පුළුවන් හෝටලයේ නවතින අයට විතරයි.
  • යුරෝපයේ හෝටල් කාමර පොඩියි — පවුලක් නම් family room එකක් book කරන්න.
  • උදේ කෑම ඇතුළත් ද කියලා බලන්න — ස්විට්සර්ලන්තයේ ඒකෙන් ගොඩක් මුදල් ඉතිරි වෙනවා.
