How do I use Find Your Resort?
Once you have signed up to our Premium Membership, from the home page click ‘Get Started’. Then select ‘Filter Resorts’. Work through each of the filters selecting the criteria that you want and the list of resorts will narrow down. Once you have finished selecting your filters, you can go back and amend any of the filter options and the list will update as you go. This means you can mix and match your requirements until you have a suitable list of resorts that match your criteria. Then it’s time to book!
Have a look at my Youtube Channel for some videos on getting the best out of the membership, with tips, tricks and features you may not know about!
I have a membership but the site keeps asking me to log in when I try to use the filters?
If when you go to use the filters it asks you to sign up, then it might be an issue with your browsers so try these 2 things. Firstly, make sure you are logged in with your registered email and password. If you are logged in it will show your name in the top right hand corner of the site.
Check you are logged in and then refresh the page by pressing the circle with an arrow next to the web address bar.
This should stop the page trying to ‘cache’. If that doesn’t work next try logging in using a different browser (Safari, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome etc). If neither of those work, pop me an email at mimi@findyourresort.co.uk making sure you let me know what your username is and I will get right on it. I aim to get back to enquiries within 48 hours.

I’ve noticed an error in one of the resort descriptions – why?
There might be a number of reasons but most likely it will be for one of two reasons.
One reason is that the data is based on information from hotel websites and popular holiday booking sites which may be based on data from the previous season. The hotel may have revised their programme schedule, added or removed facilities. If you notice something that doesn’t look quite right, please do let us know.
Another reason could simply be human error…..The data that creates all the filters is input by longhand. No fancy algorithms or data mining here. The data has been developed by a real human, searching and trawling numerous hotel and travel booking site websites, checking the resort information and photos to try and make sure the data is as accurate as possible. However, this does mean that there is a chance that a mistake has been made but hopefully it’s only the odd one. If you do spot one, please just send us an email and we will look into it!
I’m looking for a different type of holiday – can I search for that?
Not yet but in the future we do hope to expand our offering!
Why isn’t every single holiday resort listed in your data?
We are constantly uploading new resorts to give you the best possible chance of finding your perfect resort however, as the data is all uploaded manually it takes time!!
I am not a travel agent and want to book a holiday – how do I do it?
