 **Collaborative Post**

AD: The advantages of going on family holidays cannot be underestimated. It is a great time to reconnect with your loved ones while creating meaningful memories. Likewise, parents can take a well-deserved break from the normal routine that may increase their stress levels. All in all holidays are a great way to unwind and escape life's day-to-day chaos. However, it’s important to make plans to ensure that your holidays are successful and enjoyable and one major thing to consider is where your family will stay.

Nobody wants to turn up to their accommodation and it is run down or unappealing, it can put a dampener on your holiday from the get-go. Remember that where you are staying is super important so look for good feedback about both the accommodation and any staff and facilities etc. Here are some helpful tips worth considering to help you choose the best accommodation for your next holiday.

Select the right location 

Your chosen accommodation’s location can either enhance or ruin your holidays, making it essential to make the right decision. It’s advisable to choose a place that aligns with your preferences. For instance, a hotel at the beach is perfect if your family loves the ocean, so keep this in mind. You can also factor in transportation before renting accommodation. The last thing you want is to rent a hotel or Airbnb farther away from tourist attractions or places you choose to visit, which may increase your transportation costs. Your family’s safety is also important, so ensure your hotel is in a crime-free zone. You can also choose the right location based on your budget. Fortunately, several travel sites can help you compare prices on various hotels in different areas. 

Create a list of must-haves 

Specifying what you desire in your hotel or other accommodation option is important to ensure comfort. And you can do this easily by creating a list of what you want. For instance, you want to ensure your room accommodates your family without feeling cramped. If you have teens, you can opt for adjoining rooms for their privacy. You can also determine if your hotel has a bathtub, balcony, and so on. If you also enjoy fresh hotel scents, you can include them in your list when the accommodation asks if there are any additional measures they can take to ensure you are happy with your room.

Consider child-care options 

You may desire to spend some alone time with your partner during the holidays. However, this may be challenging with your kids around. Fortunately, several hotels offer on-site child-care services to cater to this need. However, its worth noting that this may come with additional fees that may be costly, especially when on a budget. You can research more affordable day-care options near your hotel in this situation. Moreover, hotels without child-care services may have a list of babysitter agencies, so keep this in mind. 

Don’t forget dining arrangements 

Moving around always for food with the whole family can become stressful and even expensive over time. Therefore, choosing a hotel or another accommodation option with dining arrangements is best. For instance, one with breakfast in the cost can lower your costs, so feel free to consider this. You can also consider hotels with buffets, especially if you have picky eaters. This way, everyone can enjoy their favourite meals and not feel left out. You also want to inform your hotel about specific dietary needs to ensure they can cater to them. 

Choosing the right accommodation for your family holidays can make your experience more enjoyable, relaxing and memorable as it will mean that you have somewhere to relax and regroup at the end of each day. Hopefully, you’ll consider these tips for the best results on your next holiday booking.
