Going on vacation with children for the first time, you need to focus your attention on the nuances. Even if you are an experienced traveler, but have never before traveled far from the "full house" of the family, this experience may be quite unexpected for you. Those things that adults simply do not pay attention to, for children can be uncomfortable and even dangerous. Therefore, in order that the vacation was not spoiled, and the nerves - spent, refer to the choice of a place to rest with all responsibility.
First you need to study the climate, weather conditions and peculiarities of the local population of the country you are going to. Remember that for small children sudden changes in temperature can be extremely harmful, and acclimatization can be very difficult. Having decided on this point, proceed to the next - choosing a hotel for recreation with children. Ask for help from a travel agency that organizes your tour or directly to the manager of an approved hotel, if you book it yourself. However, one should not blindly trust the stories of interested employees. It is best to ask in parallel and "first-hand" feedback, which can be found directly on the hotel's websites and specialized tourist forums.
And in order that the search does not take too long, dragging into the endless turmoil of the tourism industry, we offer you a number of parameters, which should be guided by choosing a hotel for a family holiday.
How to choose a hotel for rest with a child?
So, when choosing a hotel, ask:
- payment. In most hotels, children under the age of 7 live with their parents free of charge, but without providing a separate place;
- remoteness from the airport. The flight itself is stressful and a heavy load for the child, and if it is followed by a long journey without the possibility of a normal rest - you risk getting an irritable tired child who will drop out of the habitual rhythm for a long time. Therefore, choosing a hotel, give preference to those that are located a maximum of 40 minutes from the place of arrival;
- remoteness from the beach. If you do not plan to limit yourself to a swimming pool (and in a hotel a children's pool with slides can be very handy), then no matter how long you have to get to the sea or the ocean. The second line is not the best choice for families with small fidgets;
- presence in the room or the possibility of renting a crib, a pot, a bath, a stroller and other things necessary for a small child;
- the opportunity to move around the hotel and the adjacent area with a baby stroller. If the hotel is multi-level, pay attention to the presence of ramps on the stairs;
- entertainment for children: a children's playground, clubs, circles on interests. Many hotels offer similar services and parents can safely rest, leaving the child under the supervision of qualified animators;
- power. Ask if it is possible to order a children's menu - vegetable and fruit purees, cereals. For children older than 2 years is quite
will suit the diet menu. If there is not one, check if there is a possibility to heat jars in the hotel restaurant with ready-made baby food. Also important are the conditions of food intake - whether there are special chairs for feeding for children or you have to take along a road version; - stores - whether there is a supermarket or a shop on the territory of the hotels or nearby, where you can buy the same food, hygiene products for children, and so on;
- additional services - in some hotels for a fee you can use the services of a nanny - if the child is too small to leave it in the club.
