Look for a hotel that lets children eat for free for breakfast when they\u2019re accompanied by an adult. Children love buffets as there\u2019s always something that they love available \u2013 and parents love them too because there\u2019s no reason to argue over who wants to eat what for breakfast!<br \/>\u2022 While we\u2019re on the matter of food\u2026 choose an accommodation option that has a range of choices for meal times so that you can balance budgets and individual preferences too. Staying in an apartment hotel with a kitchen also gives you the option to cook family favourite meals, even though you\u2019re away from home.<br \/>\u2022 Parents with younger children may want them to be sleep in the same room \u2013 so be sure to ask the hotel you\u2019re considering whether they offer roll-away beds for the little ones to sleep on. Roll away beds are a great idea because they\u2019re there when you need them at night time, but out of the way during the day.<br \/>\u2022 Parents of older children might prefer to not share with their teenagers \u2013 and the teenagers probably feel the same way! Choosing an apartment hotel with flexible room configurations means that families can still be holidaying in the same space with access to a shared kitchen and lounge area, but that everyone can have the night-time privacy that they\u2019re used to, at home.<br \/>\u2022 Families with three or more children, or who are perhaps travelling with adult family members, often struggle to find accommodation options that fit with what they need. Most of the apartment hotels in The Capital Hotels and Apartments portfolio can be configured to offer four-bedroom apartments, with bed configurations to make sure that everyone\u2019s comfortable \u2013 and together.<br \/>\u2022 If you\u2019re considering an apartment hotel, check that the apartment\u2019s kitchen is fully equipped \u2013 there\u2019s no fun in going on holiday and wishing you\u2019d brought half your kitchen from home along with you! Confirm that the apartment\u2019s kitchen has all the crockery, cutlery, and cooking equipment that you\u2019ll need, and that a dishwasher and washing machine are included in the deal too.<br \/>\u2022 While the beach may be the main attraction for your family holiday, there are going to be days when everyone wants to take a break from the sun. Choose an accommodation option that offers access to a range of popular attractions, whether it\u2019s cultural or culinary experiences, or active adventures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we\u2019re planning them, we all hope that our holidays are going to make fond memories that last a lifetime \u2013 especially when we\u2019re travelling with extended family or even larger groups of friends,\u201d Wachsberger says. \u201cChoosing an apartment hotel that gives you the flexibility to close to the people you love but still have the space you need is a key ingredient in making those memories the kind that you cherish forever.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">77<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/pick-the-perfect-family-holiday-spot-heres-how\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
