A family hotel or an "Adults Only"? The eternal question

Even more than comparing different prices and options and choosing one destination over another, traveling as a couple or with friends means deciding most importantly which hotel to choose. Although the important thing for a lot of people is the price, the reality is that choosing a hotel specializing in families when traveling as a couple or with friends can ruin the holiday in a matter of half an hour.

So, without further ado, once again the eternal question is whether or not to choose a family hotel or an Adults Only? Beyond the purely obvious, the different points of one hotel and another are not always clear, so today we will try to give you some basic ideas so that you can make informed choices.

Hotels for everyone

Just because a hotel has the label "family friendly" doesn’t mean that couples, friends or singles can’t access it. This label is based on the fact of having specific packages for those clients who travel with their family and with children and require very specific leisure and food offers.

An example, for you to understand better, could be the Garden Special Families package in which Garden Hotels customers can access the list of hotels with the family friendly seal, their calendar of events (for adults and children) and a lot of activities that are perfect for a unique family holiday.

These hotels also have specific services for children such as on adapted pools, specific menus and mini parks located in the hotel. Does this mean that you can ‘t stay there if you are on holiday as a couple? No, of course you can but you should be aware that there will be more music, more rhythm, more activity and more children than an adults only hotel.

Only for adults

The hotel market revolution in recent years has been the creation of hotels for adults only. These hotels from large chains, that can only be accessed once you have reached the age of majority, are characterized by their tranquility, their romantic touch and by offering a set of exclusive services to enjoy a unique holiday.

To perfectly understand the concept there is nothing better than getting to know about the package offered by the Garden Adults only from the Garden hotel chain. This idea will help you to be sure about the hotel and why not the leisure offer. The best thing is its location, its surroundings and its romantic rooms with views.
