Even booking a holiday for one can come with its share of little stresses, and arranging a trip when you have younger children can be a real trial. However, plenty of parents find that nothing compares to the hassles of holidaymaking when their kids have turned into teens. That said, there are a few things you can do to make things easier on everyone, including booking a serviced apartment instead of a hotel.
Here are just a few reasons why that’s a good idea.
Easier to Keep the Family Together
One of the problems when you’re travelling with teens is that they tend to want too much time alone. While you certainly don’t want to be crowding them all the time, you should also make an effort to keep the family together at night so you can enjoy each other’s company. Booking a serviced apartment helps because they have dedicated living areas where everyone can watch TV, chat, and play boardgames after a long day of sightseeing.
Added Privacy
Serviced apartments can provide greater privacy as well as helping your teenagers stay part of the family. When families book hotel rooms, teens are often forced to share with each other or a parent, and they often resent it. Having a resentful teen as part of your holiday isn’t ideal, so book a serviced apartment instead. This usually means they’ll get their own room or at least a little of their own space.
Less Expensive
By the time your kids enter their teenage years, the days of saving on attractions, getting in free, and ordering off the kid’s menu will be well and truly over, so you should look for every way you can to cut back on costs. Booking a single serviced apartment might just work out cheaper than booking several hotel rooms, especially if you’re staying for more than a couple of days.
