Vacationing With Children Doesn't Need To Be Stressful It can be stressful enough when you're trying to just book a flight and pack when organizing a family vacation. When it comes time to get on the plane, keep everyone happy throughout the flight, and then get to the hotel, that hotel should provide more than just complimentary soap and Wi-Fi. A family on vacation needs more than what average hotels offer, and knowing what to look for may help make a family trip much more fun for everyone. The Room Accommodations Look into the hotels special policies to see if children are allowed to stay in their parent's room without paying any extra money. If a hotel does allow this, it's good to be sure you know what the cut off age is. You might find a hotel that allow kids at age 17 or younger to stay free of charge in the room, while others may put the oldest age at 12. Depending on the size of the family, some lodging facilities don’t have rooms that are both affordable and large enough to suit everyone. Therefore, a number of these hotels have adjoining rooms for kids at half the price of the usual rate. With these half price rooms, kids could have their own area and parents can enjoy some quiet time alone. Since they’re next to each other, it’s simple for parents to pop in and ensure everything is okay. The Complimentary Meals And Entertainment A family friendly hotel could have menus in the restaurants with cheaper meals, or even have the kids eat free, that will help parents save some money on food. Children's room service menus can also be provided at some hotels. For nearby activities, the concierge service will provide information on attractions for kids and may also have coupons for different places. Kids Club Activities A kid’s notion of vacation is usually very different from that of their parents. They would like to have fun things to do and probably don’t think quietly reading a book by the pool would be very relaxing, let alone entertaining. The family friendly hotel owners will understand this and can focus on the parents' need for some much needed quiet time, along with the kids' desire for some fun. A high quality family friendly hotel will have kids programs for all age groups. This can often include an onsite game room or arcade for older children, and babysitting services for the younger ones. This will reassure the parents that their children are being looked after as they enjoy a nice quiet dinner together. The Safety Making sure a hotel is up to date on their safety codes is crucial, but it’s also important to find out if they have additional safety features for children. Some hotel windows have no safety railings, and if there is a balcony, sometimes those safety rails are wide enough for a small child to slip through. Since the pool area is a focal point of most family vacations, it is important to find out if there is a Pleasant Bay Village Resort
