“My favorite holiday travel is to go someplace with a  hot  swimming pool with my family and swim .”

Instead, you should answer as categorically as possible including all the relevant details:

“My favorite holiday travel was three months ago when I went to Ndiani with my family. We spent some quite a lot of  time there  on the beach. It turned out to be very relaxing and everyone extremely enjoyed it.”
