I wish we can go.

We don’t have normal family to go to and have been making Pesach home since day one. At this point I’d like to get a break but it’s so so expensive.

I make a pesach hotel in my house and we have lots of guests.
I probably spend almost as much as it would cost to go away so it’s not the money. (I hire lots of cleaning help and spend lots on an overload of food and entertainment and clothing!) my dh just loves being in his own home for pesach and the truth is, I love my own bed/bedroom and being able to walk downstairs in my robe!
Hotels sound fun and we’ve gone for vacation but not for pesach.. not happening.

I can imagine spending Sukkos in a hotel but can’t imagine making a Pesach Seder in a hotel dining room. But guess each to their own.

Hotel mama !! So far every year since I was born . My parents love when we come. We still clean our house and take out all chometz . We bring along lots of pessach food cos here it's cheaper and I love cooking together with my mother .

We go away to Israel and eat by a friends for Seder and eat out. It’s our one big vacation but for me it’s so worth it since we have no frum family.

I'm soo jealous. I wish I could afford it. Life has been very hard for my family the last few years and I wish I could go away. How do you people afford $4,000 a person?

We stay home. Sometimes host.
My ideal would be hiring a cleaning crew, a chef, waiters and having a hotel experience right here at home. (I should throw in a nanny too).

My friend went to a program last year that was technically Kosher but not well run. They would serve a fleishig meal for Shalos Seudos and then have a milchig Melave Malka just three hours later. I don't envy her.

You can not begin to understand, or try to understand , the reasons people go to pesach hotels. Many different scenarios...a sick parent, an overworked mother or father on the brink of snapping, those who make this their one and only vacation for the year, mom's and dads who have gotten divorced, people who have tremendous families and have endless nachas seeing the whole family together, people who work like dogs the whole year and earn decent parnassah and want to fargin themselves the work...it's like a five week vacation at least, preparing for pesach takes 4 weeks, and pesach itself one week.

It does not cost 4000 a person. Many programs are less. I know for a fact, some are approximately 2500 a person, some even less. Definitely alot of money. For some people, it's a lifeline, their sanity, it preserves their shalom bayis, keeps them from needing to pay 1000's to a therapist, keeps them off anxiety meds...and the list goes on. You never will ever know. Each and every person there has a story, not necessarily a bad one..

Why are so many people responding to OP about their fake "hotel" at home experience? If you don't go don't respond! Seems so rude to me.

This. It’s true there are many many high end programs (that cost more than 4K a person) but there are also many mid price programs where it’s still a luxury but not so out of reach. The latter is for us. I always say it’s not a weeks vacation, it’s a month. I am fortunate to go away but yes it’s the only luxury I allow myself. No cleaning help year round, no manicures , I hardly but buy clothes or get my Shaitel done. But Pesach is a treat. It’s an experience and it’s time for the whole family to spend together, enjoying a new place and in a stress free environment.
