There’s no doubt that the prospect of a tropical vacation is exciting. However, there’s a lot of planning that goes into one as well. Flights, accommodations and ground transport are only a few of the things you need to think about. That said, there’s often not much choice when it comes to airlines or how you’re going to get around, so the thing you probably have the most control over is where you’re going to stay. In this post, we’ll argue the benefits of choosing a private vacation home over a resort.
Space
When you’re staying in a resort hotel, personal space is at a premium. While there’s no doubt you’ll have at least a bed and bathroom, getting anything more than that may be a big (or expensive) ask. And that says nothing about getting up at dawn to snag a beach chair, jostling around the buffet or elbowing your way to the bar during peak hours. When you choose a private vacation home, you’ll have your own kitchen, living area and possibly even a private swimming pool and beachfront. Rather than a vacation of navigating the madding crowd, you’ll have your own private space which can be as busy or as calm as you choose. If personal space is important to you, a private vacation home is a no-brainer.
Home-Cooked Meals
After a week of buffet food, you’ll be craving a home-cooked meal – trust us on that one! When you choose a private vacation home over a resort you give yourself choice – choice to cook for yourself as much or as little as you want. Sometimes it’s nice to be able to sleep in and not worry about scrambling for breakfast before the buffet closes at 10:30 am. In a private villa, you can pack yourself a lunch when you’re going out for the day. And when you’re not up to cooking your own meals in the kitchen of your private vacation home, you can simply book yourself into a restaurant for some local cuisine. When it comes to food, a private vacation home gives you the best of both worlds.
Affordable Family Gatherings
If there are a dozen of you, you could find yourself having to book six rooms in a resort hotel. Over a week or two, the cost can significantly add up and your rooms may be spread throughout the hotel. When you book a private vacation home, your costs will plummet and you’ll all be able to stay together in a unique and special environment, like at L’Alize. You’ll still have the privacy of your own rooms, but getting together will be effortless. With a little bit of organization, you can save your family a whole load of money while, at the same time, bringing everyone even closer together.
