As we get older it becomes more difficult to stay in touch with old friends. Work and family life get in the way, people move to different parts of the country and activities that bring us together, such as school, sports and other hobbies take a less prominent role in our lives. One way to reunite with friends and be able to spend enough quality time together is by planning a friend’s vacation. This will give you adequate time to catch up, have new experiences together and simply have fun without daily responsibilities getting in the way. In this article we’ll provide some tips on how to have the perfect friend’s getaway in Roatan.
Rent a Guesthouse
When you rent a vacation guesthouse like L’Alize you’ll have the space to lead a relatively normal life with your friends in a vacation hot spot near West Bay beach. Everyone will have their own space and will be able to cook and share meals together without ever having to change out of your pajamas if you don’t feel like it! When you’re in a hotel your common spaces may end up being the lobby, restaurant and bar. In a vacation rental you’ll have your own living room, kitchen and possibly even a private swimming pool. And with a group of friends you’ll find yourself saving money by pooling it together on a villa that can fit you all.
Decide on The Type of Vacation You Want
Where you stay will depend on the type of vacation you and your friends will enjoy the most. Maybe you’d prefer to spend your days lying on the beach and your nights in fancy restaurants. Other friend groups may prefer hiking and other more physical activities. Whereas some people prefer to spend their days in art galleries and museums learning about the local culture. Find the common ground among your group of friends and decide on your location accordingly.
Plan Well in Advance
You’ll want to start planning your getaway as far in advance as possible. When dealing with a group of people who are all leading separate lives it will take time to reach consensus. If you leave things until too late, it gets harder to agree on times and dates, not to mention the added expense of last-minute bookings. If you can all agree on a date far enough in advance it will supersede any other commitments that may come along and will reduce the possibility of conflicting schedules.
Plan Activities, But Not Too Many
You’ll likely want to plan a few activities in advance, so everyone has something to look forward to other than just spending time with good company. But don’t plan so many activities that you never get a chance to sit down and have the long and drawn out conversations that you never seem to have enough time for back home. Once everyone has arrived and settled in and there’s the feeling that you’ll want to be doing more than just hanging out, you can be spontaneous in your activity making decisions.
