So we at Little Nomads are taking a little challenge of our own, and that is to try and bring you what we think is the top 5 ideas for having a great trip with your children, and if you find our ten tit bids a bit to much feel free to visit some of our favourite research spots. However the best advice comes from experience so we feel free to drop us your word of advice on travelling with kids
Planning
Think budget and think experience, Ask yourself is this hotel going to offer us the experience that we want from our vacation or stay does it meet our needs and requirements. Why direct is best. Booking direct with the hotel allows you the consumer to often secure that lowest internet rate available, however some hotels may sell room rates to other parties who package and on sell the rate. Though its often in the best interest of hotels to manage their inventory directly with the consumer. Some thoughts and ideas to run through when selecting a hotel for you and your little nomads.
• Do kids eat free
• do you get better value from two rooms or suite
• do they have activities for kids
• can you find recommendations from others
• do you travel in season out of season
Further information and ideas on selecting a hotel can found in our Information and Ideas section, select info and tips from the menu bar on the top. Below are some of the hotels that we have gathered information about. If you have any further recommendations please drop us comment via our contact us link.
Budget
Its time for a little reality check, okay how much do you really have in the kitty and how much can you afford. If money is not an issue, you might as well move to step 5 and book. However, if money is to tight to mention here are few little things to get you on your way. Save and sacrifice, don’t be stupid about it you still need to eat, and kids do need shoes. Get your self high interest savings account and start dropping the coins and dollars.
