It’s important to make sure that your choice of destination & property delivers on all the criteria necessary to ensure that the holiday break is ideal. If like many, you are travelling as a family requiring facilities and amenities to satisfy the entire group, why not take a look at the differing experiences offered by traditional hotels & those of a resort.Most major chain hotels offer standardised rooms & facilities so you can be reasonably confident of what to expect – in short you get what it says on the tin. The rooms are decorated to a corporate ideal & generally cater to a mixed market; business travellers & vacationers, whereas the resorts are specifically tailored to holiday travellers.Straight away you can see that there is a difference in attitude, the traditional hotel has to please all whereas the resort provides specifically to vacationers. Of course all the hotels provide in room entertainment, restaurants, swimming pools, spas etc, but so do resorts.
Perhaps the biggest plus for a resort experience is the multiple room choices, offering units of one, two & three bedroom configurations that allow members of family or friends to share the intimacy of being together, yet retaining enough privacy. So often when groups book into chain hotels they find that their rooms are scattered all over the property, especially during peak vacation times when occupancy is high.Another positive for resorts is the added space afforded of a unit, as most incorporate en suite bathrooms & showers, kitchens, ample living space to spread out & luxuriate. Compare this to the shoe box hotel room with all the furniture squeezed in; well really there is no comparison.Outside of the rooms, again one can appreciate the difference in attitude to the lifestyle experience as many facilities are included in the room/unit price, from kids clubs, crèche service to temporary gym membership, spa treatments & at some resorts access to golf courses.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/6062571
