Most kids' clubs start at four, which is news to every parent of a toddler who booked around one. Drop-off ages, potty rules, the 11-to-13 dead zone, and the questions to email before you book.
Standard rooms stop at four people, booking engines hide the rest, and nobody tells you whether the baby counts. How occupancy rules actually work, and how to book five under one roof without paying for a presidential suite.
