Choosing a serviced apartment for your next family holiday

If you have kids, chances are you don’t have much spare time on your hands. Especially when it comes to looking for the perfect family resort. That’s why we’ve done the work for you and concluded that your next family holiday should be in a serviced holiday apartment - not hotel, not B&B, not the in-laws. Here are the top reasons why:

Need more space?

There’s nothing worse than being in a small, confined space, crammed with toys, books, cots, high chairs, prams and the kids! Not to mention the extra price you’ll likely pay for additional beds or people staying in the room. A 2 Bedroom Apartment or 3 Bedroom Apartment will give you plenty of space to stretch out. Most holiday apartments have multiple televisions in different rooms, so you can perfect your cooking skills whilst watching MasterChef in one room while the kids snort along with Peppa Pig in the other. And after the kids are asleep, enjoy a bottle of wine and listen to your favourite tunes without disturbing the peace.

Risk-free: You know what you’re getting

Go with a trusted brand. You know they’ll be reliable and you’ll know what you’re getting. Look up guest reviews and ratings to see what others have to say. Choose a holiday rental with a 24-hour reception and other important amenities like a tour desk, WiFi access or babysitting service. If you choose an established holiday apartment, you’re guaranteed to have a hassle-free family holiday.

All the perks of a hotel with resort amenities to boot

Who wants a boring holiday? Not us. You want a family resort that provides hours of entertainment – for you and the kids. With amenities such as a pool, gym, games room/arcade, playground and BBQ facilities, you’ll never be bored (and will probably never want to leave!). Most serviced apartments also offer 24-hour reception, a tour desk, security and daily housekeeping to top it off.

Bon Appetit! A fully equipped kitchen is the recipe for a happy family vacation

Avoid using your spending money on food. Sure, a few meals out is fine, but save some of your hard-earned cash by cooking your family’s favourite meals in a fully equipped kitchen. This is especially handy if you have family members with allergies (or those who are just plain picky eaters). Tip: pack snacks and a lunch if you’re heading out for the day.

Just a hop, a skip and a jump away

Stay in the heart of the action. Most serviced holiday apartments are in amazing central locations close to restaurants, attractions, theatres, stadiums, shopping and more. Walk out your door and hop on public transport, or explore the nearby area on foot. The best part is that you can come and go as you please – darting back to the resort for lunch or a nanna nap!

Stay longer and save!

The good news is that the longer you stay in a serviced apartment, the more of a discount you will receive. So make the most out of your family vacation by staying a week or two, and you’ll receive a better rate. And not to worry if you can only stay for a few days, you’ll still have a great time and won’t break the bank.
