If you’re planning a family vacay then apart from the destination, accommodation will be a major consideration; here are some things to consider when making your selection.

An Apartment Home
The kids will enjoy having a homely space to come back to each day and large serviced apartments with separate bedrooms and living and dining areas are ideal. Ensure it’s in a central location while having features like a fully equipped kitchenette or kitchen, fridge, washing machine & dryer and home entertainment system helps.
Family Packages
Family holidays can be expensive but not if you choose special accommodation offers featured on reputed hospitality chains. For more savings, you can easily join a loyalty programme such as the one offered by DiscoverASR and select from family packages at properties across the world with great rates and exclusive benefits too.
Family-friendly Properties
Certain properties are more family-friendly than others and worth choosing; some will provide cribs on request and will even let children under a certain age stay for free if they use existing beds. You may also have access to babysitting services on request along with facilities like a pool, gym, restaurant and play area for kids.
Free Internet Access
Ideally, your accommodation choice should offer free Wi-Fi and broadband internet access; while you can enjoy family fun by not going online, at certain times it comes in handy; you may want to load YouTube videos for the kids, check on family activities or even have teens just waiting to upload their holiday pics on FB or Instagram!
