Family Traveller - knows what actually matters
"I spend more time on the site than anyone should admit - hunting down the stays that over-deliver, the resorts blowing up on TikTok before everyone else catches on, and the deals that look too good to be true but aren't."
- Rob, On the Beach Holiday Expert
Who is Rob Brooks?
Rob has been knee-deep in the world of package holidays long enough to know that the difference between a good trip and a great one usually comes down to one thing: knowing exactly where to look. Over the years, he's personally visited and reviewed more than 200 hotels across the destinations On the Beach does best - Turkey, Greece, the Canaries, Spain, and the Balearics - checking in as both a travel professional and a family holidaymaker who actually has to answer to kids asking, "are we there yet?"
When he's not reviewing pools, grilling hotel staff about transfers, or road-testing the local restaurant strip, Rob's back on the On the Beach site doing what he does best: finding the hidden gems, spotting the trending stays before they sell out, and pulling together the deals that make your budget go further than you thought possible.
