Hello, We have both tile and hardwood. Tile in the kitchen, foyer, baths and hall and hardwood elsewhere. The tile can be VERY slippery if it has any amount of water on it. I know first hand as I fell in the foyer on a small amount of water that was on the floor that I didn't see. Luckly I was OK but really shook up casue my feet went everywhere and had a hard time getting up. Tile in the showers is rougher and not slippery. In my opinion the hardwood would not be as slippery. You might also consider that tile is a very hard surface and is not as resilient as hardwood so is harder on your joints. We stayed in an all tile home during our LSV and my legs hurt the whole time. You might want to ask your designer about other flooring options. Saw some really nice vinyl and laminant (?) flooring in some newly built patio villas and cottages. Hope this helps and good luck.
