Adrian Hotel Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel - A wonderful Family Vacation

Adrian Hotel Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel

A wonderful Family Vacation

25. March 20220 Comments8 Minutes

Every winter we need a little break from the cold weather. With kids the winter can be especially exhausting.
So this winter we planned a two week Tenerife trip for February/March. It`s Jeremy birthday on 26th of February so its always a great gift as well 😀

boy-Tenerife-Vacation

Second family trip as a family of 4

It was our second trip with two kids and before every flight we are always super nervous now. Before, when it was only Jeremy and I, it was so much easier and I slept most of the flight time anyway.
Our flight to Tenerife was at 8:30 am, which meant we had to leave home around 5 am. So Jeremy and I woke up at 4, showered, drank a cup of coffee and got everything ready before we brought the sleeping kids in the car. We left on time and made it to the airport at 6 am. Since we don’t really have anyone who can drive us to the airport we always just park the car there (book it in advance) and walk to the terminal.

The flight to Tenerife with the 2 boys

It is a 4.30/5h flight from Frankfurt to Tenerife. We booked one of the first rows, so we would have a little more space than normal. Since Liam is two years old already, he has his own seat. Liam got to sit in the middle between Jeremy and I and it was pretty smooth. Milo fell asleep in Jeremys arms and Liam played on my lap most of the time and took a little nap as well after 3h of flight time.
It was a good flight (but wait for the return flight 😀 )

The first five star hotel Roca Nivaria for little Milo

From the airport we took a taxi, which took about 25 minutes to get to the Adrian Hotel Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel. From the first impression on we absolutely loved the hotel, the atmosphere, the staff and of course the food (always very important!).
This is such an incredible hotel for the whole family. The kids have so many areas where they can play and have fun. And to us that’s the most important: if the kids don’t like it, we can’t enjoy it either.

The rooms at the Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel

We had a very nice room super close to the main pool area which was the perfect spot for us. Not sure anymore but I think there are 6 levels and we were on the 1st floor, which has the access to the pools. The room was about 42 square meter, which was perfect for us as a family. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony a lot, especially when the kids or one of them took his nap!

Milo had a little crib and Liam slept in the big bed with us. But there was another bed for Liam.

The Pools at the Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel

The Roca Nivaria has 2 big pool areas and a huge children pool area. The kids pools are separat from the other areas and also have a playground included. We loved the main pool, which had a tiny baby pool as well and it was surrounded by palm trees. Not to mention the picturesque infinity pool.

family-photo-openmindtravelers-roca-nivaria

The Food at the Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel

The food and the variety at the Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel was fabulous. The breakfast was served from 7 until 10.30 am in the main restaurant. It was a buffet with a great amount of variety. They offered the english breakfast (bacon, eggs, sausages, beans in tomatoe sauce, …) with a wide range of different bread and rolls as well as churros, pancakes and warm pastries. Jeremy loved the very delicious fresh fruits and joghurts and Milo started eating melon every day. Liam asked 5 times a day for the pancakes with nutella, he is our little one with the sweet tooth!

The lunch was served at the pool area with an amazing view of the ocean.  They had spanish style lunch mixed with german/english/italian variations. It was very tasty as well. For Milo we could always order the puree, which he liked most of the time. Liam just wanted chicken nuggets and fried calamari most of the days.

dinner-roca-nivaria-gran-hotel

The dinner was by far our favorite. We loved the steaks. Most nights we had the medium rare Entrecôt with different style potatoes and garlic bread. We also enjoyed the theme nights and the mexican night was my favorite. The tacos and burritos were incredibly delicious!

We had all inclusive, but we didn´t really need it, since we don´t drink much alcohol and most of the nights went to bed super early with the kids. But of course it makes things a lot easier if you have little ones.

The Flight back to Germany

Our flight back home was a 10 out of 10. Both boys handled it so well and Liam slept almost 3h, which he never does on a normal day. We arrived at Frankfurt airport around 7 pm (1 hour time difference) and the kids slept in the car ride home as well.

Money Saving Tip for the Roca Nivaria Gran Hotel

We booked our hotel stay with our local Tui travel agency. Later we found out that it would have been even cheaper to sign up for the Adrian Hotel Club. So if you are not booking this beautiful Hotel as a package, then sign up and save some money.

One of our favorite Hotels around the Globe

This was our favorite vacation with the boys so far and we will come back to the Adrian Hotel Roca Nivaria for sure. We have a few more trips coming up the next couple of month, but hopefully we will be back in fall. We can highly recommend this wonderful hotel to everyone, no matter if you are looking for a couple vacation or a vacation with kids.

Traveling with a baby and a 2 year old

At the Barcelo Corralejo Sands

16. January 20220 Comments4 Minutes

Our first trip as a family of 4 was to one of our favourite islands: FUERTEVENTURA, where we stayed at the Barcelo Corralejo Sands in a wonderful family suite. We have been to Fuerteventura so many times as a couple, we know the area and love the beach, the vibe, the walking and shopping street and of course the all year round great weather.


So we booked the trip pretty much last minute, canceled the trip a few weeks before, because our 2 year old had a little accident in Kindergarten and needed stitches on his chin. But this time everything looked good and worked out pretty well.


We drove about 1h to Frankfurt Airport, both kids slept in the car yeah! Little 5 month old Milo hates the car and this was a huge win to have a smooth car ride. We parked at the airport, waited in line for checkin and boarded the plane. The flight to Fuerteventura went pretty well, both kids slept for a little while and we finally made it to the sunshine. It felt so good to be back after 2 years and so many cancelations because of Covid.
Since we booked our flights and the Hotel separate, we took a taxi to Corralejo, which is in the north of the beautiful island. It was a 30 minute taxi drive and Liam loved to look out of the window and Milo was also doing pretty good.

When we arrived at the Hotel – the BARCELO CORRALEJO SANDS in the late afternoon. We walked around the hotel area to see the amenities and already knew we would love the hotel. We unpacked a little, changed out clothes and went to dinner to feed our hungry little ones.


the BARCELO CORRALEJO SANDS in the late afternoon

We stayed a total of 10 days and the highlight for our 2 year old Liam was the amazing kids pool and the playground. He had so much fun in the kids club, where he went with one of us and where ALISA from the animation team took care of him. He really loved her and still talks about her. She went down the slide with him, played with him and did the mini disco at the pool area almost every night at 6 pm right before heading to dinner.

Liam and Daddy going down the slide

Of course Liam also loved the beach. He called it “Riesensandkasten”, which means huge sand pit. Little Baby Milo loved to sleep in the stroller to our early walks to the beach.


This is us – at the harbour in Corralejo


mornings at the beach in october

We can highly recommend this wonderful Hotel and will return for sure. Our next trip is already planned for February to Tenerife.

Please let me know in the comments if you have been to the Canary Islands and which your favourite is!

CELES Beachfront Resort

The BEST Hotel In Koh Samui, Thailand

3. January 20190 Comments4 Minutes

We spent four wonderful days in the beautiful Celes Beachfront Resort. We really enjoyed our holiday there and highly recommend the hotel to anyone planning a holiday in Koh Samui. The newly opened beach resort is just perfect.

We were warmly welcomed by the hotel staff. We were served in the open lobby a welcome cocktail and a delicious coconut ice cream.

The lounge chairs at the pool area are super comfortable and we spent a lot of time at the pool overlooking the ocean.

The breakfast buffet in the SeaGrille Restaurant was excellent. The selection of Thai and western food was great.

We also had a very special dinner with outstanding delicious food and great cocktails at the SeaGrille Restaurant. The ambience at this beautiful Restaurant is incredible. We really loved the nautic decoration and the great atmosphere. The seafood dish was excellent and I ate the best dessert ever there: the Coconut parfait on mango and strawberries!

The CELES Beachfront Resort has everything you could wish for on a great vacation. There is a very nice library with a iMac for guests, a gym with new equipment and a super nice Spa, where great deals are offered to the hotel guests.

Celes-spa

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is still a few steps to beautiful beach restaurants and about a 10 minute walk to the night market and Fischerman’s Village. 

We are planning to come back next year because we really loved the Celes Beachfront Resort. A hotel like this is not so easy to find in Thailand.

A Tropical Vacation At The Aiyapura Resort Koh Chang

Aiya Pura Resort Koh Chang

amazing view at the Aiyapura Resort Koh Chang

After a couple of weeks in Bali, we planned another 2 weeks in Thailand to explore a new island, where we have never been before. We have been to Thailand 5 times in the last couple of years, but never visited Koh Chang! So we hopped on a bus and a ferry and 10 hours later we are back to island life, where we stayed at the beautiful Aiyapura Koh Chang!

Koh Chang - A Tropical Paradise

Koh Chang is a wonderful island, which is located near the border to Cambodia, about 170 miles from Bangkok. This was our first time visiting Koh Chang and we really like the Island with its tropical rainforests and mountains as well as the white sand beaches. 

The Aiyapura Resort Koh Chang

aiyapura view balcony

We stayed at The Aiyapura Resort, which is a beautiful place to spend a peaceful and relaxing vacation. It is only a 10 minute drive from the pier, where we arrived with the ferry. The resort ground is huge and offers a incredible scenic view of the ocean. After arrival we received a delicious welcome drink at the reception, before we were the shown our great sea view bungalow. The staff also took us on a little ride with the golf cart around the whole resort, where he took a photo of us at the view point.

aiyapura viewpoint

We especially enjoyed the big terrace of our sea view bungalow with the amazing ocean view, where Jeremy loved to play his guitar. 

This is a very exclusive resort with a gated entrance with access to its own private beach and pier. We always felt save and had a really good time!

In the tropical garden are so many different animals like peacocks, which create a very special and magical atmosphere. Every morning we woke up with the sound of the tropical animals singing!

aiyapura peacock

The Aiyapura Koh Chang has a pool and a private beach as well as its own pier! It was a very special time we spent at the Aiyapura Resort and we loved it! 

Aiyapura Resort Pier

They offer so many fun activities like biking, kayaking and the highlight is the jump mania, where you can spend a great time jumping around on the huge indoor trampolines.

Our Dreams Came True At Ao Kao White Sand Beach Resort

We picked the little Island Koh Mak as our last beach destination before we are headed back to Bangkok, where our flight leaves to Germany! Koh Mak is about 190miles away from Bangkok and is located between Koh Chang and Koh Kood! Thanks to the Ao Kao White Sand Beach Resort for a great time!

Ao Kao White Sand Beach Resort - Our Happy Place

We stayed at the beautiful Ao Kao White Sand Beach Resort, which is a incredible resort and we can highly recommend it to everybody who plans to visit Koh Mak!

Let me show you around the Ao Kao White Sand Beach Resort.

Warm Welcome At The Ao Kao White Sand Beach Resort

At arrival the staff served us a delicious welcome drink and handed us a map of the island and explained where all the good sights are. They showed us our bungalow which is in a beautiful lush garden! They arranged the flowers on the bed to spell out "welcome Ina", which I think is so cute and shows how much love they put in the resort to make the guests happy! I've never seen that before, so I was really surprised about this lovely gesture!

welcome-aokao-resort

best welcome arrangement ever

We immediately fell in love with the incredible rooftop, which every bungalow has! The view was amazing and we loved to relax there on the lounge chairs. Because there is a roof on top, you can relax in the shade. There are so many pink flowers and the whole resort and garden is very well maintained.

Ao Kao Restaurant - Koh Mak

We ate many times at the Ao Kao Restaurant, which served super delicious food. The breakfast was included and very tasty. The staff prepared fresh scrambled eggs or omletts as well as my favorite pancakes with banana and chocolate sauce. We could sit right at the ocean with a view of the surrounding islands. A speciality was the homemade fruit jellys, which we loved with our toasts.

aokao breakfast

We really enjoyed every single day of our stay at the Ao Kao White Sand Beach Resort. The weather was perfect, so we had the chance to explore the island by scooter as well. We had fun times in the clear water, snorkeling and enjoying our last days at the beach for the next couple of month!

The Perfect Resort in Koh Mak

This Resort is awesome and we can highly recommend it to you! We hope we will be back there soon!

Kayumanis Sanur - The Idyllic Escape For Couples

After our short trip to the Gili Islands, we arrived on Friday in Sanur, Bali, where we stayed at The Gangsa Private Villa by Kayumanis, currently known as Kayumanis Sanur Private Villa and Spa for the weekend. The staff greeted us with a warm welcome and we were overwhelmed with so many wonderful gifts upon our arrival. We recieved beautiful welcome flowers, refreshing cold towels, very delicious welcome drinks, which we were able to choose from the menu, as well as a 15 minute welcome massage at the Rebab Spa, which belongs to The Gangsa Private Villas. The nice ladies at the spa asked us to choose between a head, shoulder or foot massage. Jeremy picked the foot massage and I decided for the shoulder massage. We both really loved it and enjoyed every minute of the welcome massage. The pressure was perfect and we felt very good and relaxed.

After the great welcome massage we could check into our incredible private villa called Jogogan. Arya showed us the way and opened the door for us to show us the villa and we were so impressed. We did not expect it to be so spacious and luxurious.

It is the perfect escape in an idyllic home away from home with a tropical atmosphere and local charm. 

Take a look at our beautiful home for the weekend:

our luxury private villa "Jogogan"

At the outside of our villa is a huge living room with a sofa, relax chairs and a tv as well as a kitchen and a table. In the inside is our lovely bedroom and the huge bathroom with an open shower and a bathtub.

our beautiful bedroom at our private villa

Everything was prepared so beautiful for our stay and we fell in love with the design of the whole villa.

On the upstairs is another room with a sofa and a desk as well as a balcony overlooking the nice pool.

The tropcial garden of our private villa is gorgeous: everything is so green and well maintained with beautiful flowers. We were awaken by little birds singing outside in our garden every morning.

The breakfast is served in the gong restaurant or in the private villa. They offer a huge variety of delicious local and international food. Everything we had was homemade and super delicious. We loved the homemade strawberry and pineapple jellies as well as the Bali coffee and the fresh pressed orange juice. They also make the best banana pancake in the world! I wish I could wake up every single day to a perfect breakfast like at the gangsa private villas by kayumanis!

breakfast the gangsa bali

the perfect breakfast at Kayumanis Sanur

The staff serves high tea every afternoon between 2.30 and 5 in our private villa. We just make a call whenever we are ready for it and somebody comes to set up the table in our living room with tea and coffee and super delicious snacks: sandwiches, pastries and cookies.

The villas are not direct at the beach, but Tha Gangsa Private Villas by Kayumanis, currently known as Kayumanis Sanur Private Villa and Spa have drivers to bring us to the beach and the Sanur city area, which is perfect. We actually like that the luxury villas are a little away from everything and we are surrounded by the beauty of nature. It is very calm here and that was exactly what we were wishing for!

The Kayumanis Sanur Private Villa ans Spa is the perfect escape for couples as well as for families. It is also an incredible place for a honeymoon or anniversary vacation with the love of your life. 

We had an amazing time here in our private Villa Jogogan and will always remember this perfect weekend with the excellent service.

Book your perfect escape to Kayumanis Sanur Private Villa And Spa here: www.kayumanis.com

On the 1st of April 2017 The Gangsa by Kayumanis changed their name into Kayumanis Sanur Private Villa & Spa and the villas got a redesign as well. We were very happy to see the model villa and we can tell you it looks awesome. The new design is really incredible, the whole exterior will be in a lighter shade of color and it is very inviting.
