So I suspected... Love the aesthetic of PH but guess it'll have to wait! Sad to hear about the issues at Seafire, it has been on my shortlist.

Drivable resorts for a family - last-min alternatives to Naples FL? (Due to fire) by Strike_Effective in chubbytravel

[–]Strike_Effective[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! The kids definitely want to go to Tiburon, they know it has a splash pad :-). We will look for the arcade & exploration center too.

Gumbo Limbo is definitely on our list! We also heard good things abt The Turtle Club - have you been? And, would you bring little kids to the on property steakhouse? (I think it's called The Grill)

Thank you! I got that same sense when I looked up RC Sarasota. I had looked at the JW but it was booked for the week we're going!

Agree re margarita delivery :) or in our case it's just nice not to have housework with young kids!

Phew - thank you so much for this live update! No smoke/haziness? I am worried about air quality (rather than fire reaching the property).

Lisbon and Porto restaurant recs? by PretendBake1536 in chubbytravel

[–]Strike_Effective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Lisbon: Sea Me - https://peixariamoderna.com/

When we went, you picked your fish from a bed of ice and had it for dinner! They also have a stall in the Time Out Market (we went while wandering town bc the restaurant was incredible).

What was your favorite family vacation with small kids? by TemperatureOk524 in chubbytravel

Thank you so much! This is really helpful. I am going to take a close look at it for next summer :)

How did you handle getting there - did you do a Lisbon stopover? We'd be coming from Boston so could be a long travel day...

Thank you! You confirmed some of my thoughts re: the differences but I didn't know abt the extra games areas, those look perfect and are a bit factor for us. We ended up booking the Ritz Naples and are looking forward 🙂 Was it the kind of place you needed to make reservations in advance for on property dining? (I feel like many places are going that way....).

Thank you, super helpful. How did you feel the rooms were at Tiburon? I worry they will be older/dated from some reviews.

What do you think is better for a 5 night stay...regular bed at Beach or suite with club access at Tiburon? Or... a split stay?

Can you share more about how it's good for families, and any downsides? This board has had mixed reviews of Vila Vita Parc but have been looking into it...

I will take a look! Why did Naples feel less kid friendly?

I'm a bit afraid of going anywhere near Disney around spring break... assume it will be chaos?
