How to Pick a Vacation that Makes the Kids and Adults Happy

amomentwithfranca · 27 February 2017 · Leave a Comment

Making the decision to book a family holiday is one that brings smiles to everyone’s faces, but picking that perfect destination that pleases everyone can prove to be tricky. So how do you pick that perfect spot that makes the kids and adults happy? We’ve got some tips you can use that will help you in the research, planning, and booking your family holiday.

How to Pick a Vacation that Makes the Kids and Adults Happy

How Many Days do You Have Available?

The best place to start is to determine how much time you’ve got available for your vacation. If you can only go away for a couple of days then you’re going to pick a much different destination than if you had three weeks of available time. Not to worry though because no matter how long your holiday will be, there are always plenty of options available.

What is Your Budget? 

For most families, this is actually a top criterion when it comes to booking a holiday. Make sure you set your budget before you even start looking into places, so you don’t get swayed into spending more than you’re comfortable with.

Choose the Vacation Style

Choosing the vacation style is another important step. What this means is deciding if you want a beach holiday, a learning trip where you visit a variety of different places or an adventure-style vacation with sports and activities, etc. Visit Vacations Made Easy to see more vacation ideas and places to visit.

Can You Get Online?

Another question that is becoming more and more important as people book holidays is whether or not the destination/property offers Internet access. Maybe you need to be able to check in with work, the pet-sitter, the house sitter, or other family members. Then again maybe you’re the type that just enjoys entertainment online such as online slots and other games, keeping up with social networks, and reading all of the latest news.

Besides asking if the Internet is available you will also want to ask how much it is to use it. Many properties are starting to offer free Wi-Fi in the public spaces, but this may not be available in the rooms.

Kids Activities and Amenities On-Site

In order to keep the kids happy and entertained, you may want to opt for a property that has on-site amenities and activities specifically for kids. This can include things such as a kids club (playground), a kids’ pool, kids’ games, and a craft centre. Some properties even offer babysitting services so the adults can have a bit of alone time.

Discuss the Options as a Family

Instead of the adults making the final choice, it’s always a good plan to narrow down the choices, and then discuss them as a family. Let the kids take part in the discussion, as they may point out things you hadn’t even considered. By including everyone in the final decision you are more likely to please them all.

Creating Great Memories for the Whole Family

There is no better way to create fabulous memories than by heading out on a family holiday. Try not to put too much pressure on picking the “perfect” destination and just focus on having fun instead.
