When you’re traveling in a large group, it can be difficult to find a place to stay that can accommodate everyone and is cost-effective. Hotels have suites for large groups but they are very expensive.
Sometimes the only option left is a penthouse suite from an apartment company. With these companies, you pay per week and not per person, so you divide the cost according to the number of people traveling with you. This can sometimes be much cheaper than even one night in a good hotel.
With apartments, they are self contained so you have everything you would normally have at home. Penthouses are usually the largest and sometimes you can have a rooftop jacuzzi or pool. They are perfect for small groups who want privacy and parties.
Private apartments will not be found in the usual travel brochures. You will need to go online and find a company that specializes in private apartment rentals. They must be located in the area you wish to stay in and must have years of experience booking apartments for clients.
The best travel agents will be able to offer you a complete service. They need to take care of your itinerary, get you tickets to shows and special events, and they need to be able to book a flight.
The apartments are perfect for large groups and families, but sometimes clients are put off because they think they will be responsible for maintaining the apartment. Although clients are expected to keep the apartment in good repair, they are not expected to make the beds or clean the bathrooms. The tour company will have a cleaning service that will take care of that.
If you are thinking of booking a private apartment for a group vacation or special family occasion, be sure to do your research and find out where the apartment is located. You’ll want someone who is accessible by local transportation, somewhere that’s close to tourist attractions, shops, and tourist attractions, and somewhere that’s close to the beach.
When traveling to a foreign country, you’ll want to make sure you know what apartment complex security is like. You won’t know what the crime rate is like and you won’t know where anything is. You’ll stand out as a sore thumb to thieves and you don’t want any of them following you home. Therefore, choose a place that has 24-hour security.
If you’re vacationing with a group of friends, you’ll want to stay connected to the outside world. Most of the penthouses have free internet and English TV. With them having Internet, you will be able to call home for free, using Skype. They really have thought of everything.
Please note that even if you have the penthouse you may not have your own jacuzzi. This is not a negative for the apartment complex, the building is more likely to have communal facilities. Check the building description and you should be able to use the sauna, pool, gym or jacuzzi if they have them available.
Reserving a penthouse seems expensive, but there are very profitable ways to get it. Remember that the more guests you have, the cheaper it will be for each person and you will have access to a full kitchen for food storage, which will be cheaper than eating out.
