Green flags only

You asked. We listened.

Who’s high maintenance? Definitely not you… You deserve a trip where even the smallest details meet the brief, so we’ve done our research. From social discussions to survey results, you told us what green flags you look for in a hotel – they’re a need, not a want. Now, they’re all right here. These holidays are curated and everything, to make sure they meet your non-negotiable needs.  

White bedding? We hear you. Cute cats? We know where they live (not in a creepy way).  Save yourself the ick and skip straight to something that speaks to you. Just don’t come at us if you arrive and it’s laundry day – we’ve done our best to check but all of these picks are based on people’s past reviews.

White bedding

No grandma patterns here… These hotels fit the aesthetic for crisp, white bed sheets. Subtle colours here and there and the odd scatter cushion might slip in, but we prioritise all-white themes because that’s what we know you love.

Non-plastic sunloungers

Think stylish wooden loungers and plush fabric-covered daybeds – the sunbathing scenes at these hotels have no plastic in sight.

Local cats

Crazy cat ladies (and gentlemen), these hotels are cuteness overload. They’re serving a strong feline presence – either the place has its own resident cats or is a fave hangout for the local strays.

FAQs

Someone that listens to you, meets your needs, is emotionally available… Green flags are all positive things people look for in relationships. So, while you’re not making the same kind of moves on these holidays, you are getting up close and personal with them for a week or so... Green flags for a hotel might be a comfy bed, an infinity pool or the type of food served at dinner. Anything that makes you think that’s a bit of me.  

We did our research, and you pretty much picked them for us! Our dedicated team conducted surveys and loads of social media research to see what things people look for in hotels that might be a little harder to find online. Hotel white bedding was a trending topic on socials – some of you can’t stand a busy pattern and would prefer to know what’s going on in the bedroom before you book. So, we got on it, sourcing picks that meet the most popular needs for our fellow travel lovers. And, you never know… stay tuned and there could be more to come. If there’s something you’d love to see, slide into our DMs @firstchoiceholidays.  

Reviews are everything – that’s why we love to hear your feedback. Our team scrolled through thousands of Tripadvisor comments previous customers had left about their stay to look for ANYTHING about cute cats, great coffee and more. So, you can take it from someone that’s been there… they passed the test.
