By destination

Resort and island guides for the destinations DealStays focuses on, with named hotels and booking links where we have them.

  • UK hotel offers

    Browse UK hotel offers for staycations, spa breaks and family no-flight holidays. Compare named properties below, then read our UK destination guide for regional advice and school holiday pricing.

  • Egypt hotel offers

    Browse Red Sea hotel offers across Hurghada, Sharm el Sheikh and Marsa Alam. Compare all-inclusive resorts and check live availability before you book.

  • Maldives hotels worth checking

    Maldives hotels are worth checking when transfer type, board basis and resort fees all fit your budget — not just when the villa photos look right. Compare named resorts below, then read our full destination guide for Green Tax, seaplane vs speedboat and what catches UK travellers out.

  • Dubai hotels worth checking

    Dubai hotels are worth checking once you've matched the area to your trip — beach, marina, downtown or Palm Jumeirah all feel different. Most properties aren't all-inclusive, so compare board basis and live rates before booking.

  • Turkey hotels worth checking

    Turkey resort hotels are worth checking when you want strong facilities, pools and all-inclusive value. Compare resort area, board basis and transfer time before choosing.

  • Spain hotels worth checking

    Spain hotels are worth comparing by location and board basis first — Costa del Sol, the Balearics, the Canaries and city breaks all deliver a different trip. Check live rates on the resorts below, then read our destination guide for tourist tax and ETIAS rules.

  • Greece hotels worth checking

    Greece hotels are worth checking when you've picked the right island first — Crete and Rhodes have the widest resort choice, while Santorini suits couples more than families. Compare the properties below, then read our destination guide for the tourist tax, opening dates and ferry logistics.

By stay type

Cross-destination guides for family trips, honeymoons, luxury stays and all-inclusive resorts.

  • Family-friendly hotels worth checking

    A genuinely family-friendly hotel is judged on room layout for kids, pool depth and shade, food options beyond a basic buffet, and how far you'll actually be from the beach — not just whether the listing uses the word "family" in its description.

  • Luxury hotels worth checking

    A luxury hotel earns the price tag through service level and food quality, not star rating alone — and because the deposits are bigger, the cancellation terms matter more here than at a budget stay. Check what's genuinely included before assuming a higher price means a more flexible booking.

  • All-inclusive hotels worth checking

    All-inclusive hotels are included on paper, but the real value sits in what's excluded. Premium drinks, à la carte restaurants, excursions and spa treatments are common upsells even at resorts that market themselves as fully inclusive — and the destination matters as much as the hotel, since some countries do all-inclusive at a much bigger scale than others.

  • Honeymoon hotels worth checking

    Romantic hotels are worth checking when privacy and a proper arrival experience matter more than the headline rate — adults-only pools, villa or overwater setups, and honeymoon perks worth asking for when you book, not after. The best choice depends on whether you want quiet resort time on a private island, city luxury with restaurants outside the hotel, or a boutique all-inclusive resort.
