Family Vacation Critic Names 2016's Top-Rated Family Hotels

The top-rated family hotels according to Family Vacation Critic.

— -- Summer's almost here and parents everywhere are in the midst of planning the "perfect" summer vacation. The hotel is a crucial part of any trip, and perhaps the most important part of a family vacation. Will there be enough activities for the kids? What's the pool like? What kind of food is served in the hotel restaurants?
