RESORTS, VACATION HOMES, ALL-INCLUSIVES? FIND YOUR FAMILY’S IDEAL ACCOMMODATION
STYLE

By  Matt Villano

Summer is high time for family travel, which means tens of thousands of families
across the country will be hitting the road together to explore new places and
experience life in different spots.

It also means family units will have to figure out a way to coexist in
accommodations away from home.

In an ideal world, where you decide to stay shouldn’t matter — you’ll all be
together, and that’s the bottom line. In reality, no matter how well you get
along with your loved ones, different accommodation options work better for
different types of families, and it’s important to choose wisely.

Ultimately, your selection can be the difference between an unforgettable
vacation and a decidedly forgettable one. Read on for things to consider as you
evaluate where you and your family should spend your summer vacation and how
much energy you should spend to make sure everybody in the brood has space to
relax.


WHAT TO CONSIDER

Before you choose your accommodations, it would behoove you to take stock of who
will be traveling and what sort of layout might work best.

Are there babies in your group who might need their own space? Look for
accommodations with multiple rooms. Are there teenagers who don’t want to look
at mom or dad? Definitely opt for a multibedroom unit or a place with a patio or
balcony big enough to provide the kids with some privacy.

Are you traveling with grandparents or family members who would rather not
negotiate steps? If so, be sure to request a one-story, ground-floor
accommodation, or someplace with elevators.

Most important: Do you want to be in an apartment-style tower, extended-stay
accommodation, a sprawling resort or a standalone vacation rental.

Answering these queries will help determine what kind of accommodations to book,
how many rooms you need and what sort of configuration will work best.

Other important questions to ask relate to what type of vacation you want to
have. Beach vacation or urban vacation? Adventure every day or relative
slothfulness? Group activities or solo? Again, the more questions you ask
yourself — and your other family members — the better you’ll be able to figure
out what kinds of accommodations will suit everyone best.


UNDERSTANDING OPTIONS

Once you’re equipped with answers to the important questions, deciding on
accommodations for your summer family travel becomes an easier and more
straightforward task. Put differently, with the right data, you and your loved
ones can be methodical about your choice.

Marriott’s all-inclusive resorts are great for families who plan to spend the
bulk of their vacation on property but out of the room, enjoying the pool or spa
and eating and drinking. Many amenities are included with the nightly rate at
all-inclusive resorts: Drinks, food, basic activities and more.

For those families who want more privacy and space, homes and villas are a
stellar option. These accommodations vary in size and design — some are one or
two bedrooms, while others are palatial mansions, with five or six bedrooms and
multiple sitting and recreation areas.

Many of these accommodations come with butler and housekeeping services. Others
are at resorts, meaning guests can take advantage of all the same amenities
guests have with more intimate accommodations.

Extended-stay hotels provide all the comforts of home in a smaller footprint,
making it easier to keep everyone — and everything — together. Some of these
accommodations have full-sized kitchens; others have kitchenettes. Marriott’s
extended-stay hotels are designed to be close to population centers.

Finally, of course, are some of Marriott’s best family-friendly resorts.

These resorts are akin to mini cities, complete with shops, restaurants, pools,
activity clubs, game rooms and more. The properties are perfect for
multigenerational families that comprise people with varying interests. Many
offer adjoining rooms, so travelers can book as much or as little space as they
need.

Summer family travel can create memories that last a lifetime. Parents and
grandparents have only 18 summers with each child before they fly the coop. How
are you going to spend yours?
