Being on vacation with children is far more challenging than being on holiday with a group of adults, or with your significant other. With little ones always restless and up to mischief, keeping an eye on them constantly proves to be a demanding task for most parents. A hotel which caters to amenities that take the worry out of managing a trip with your kids can make a world of difference on how your vacation eventually turns out to be. From kiddies meals to extra beds, taking some time to choose a hotel that works for everyone will make or break your trip. For example, hotels like Best Western Elyon Colombo present a wide range of modern facilities which make it one of the best places to stay in Sri Lanka, for families. So, what comprises of a hotel that’s great for adults and children alike? 1) The basics It’s easy to take modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, A/C and tea/coffee makers in hotel rooms for granted. If you’re on a strict budget and doing your research on which hotel to book during your trip, you know it’s easy to overlook these basic needs and book a room that has some, or none of these facilities. Once you reach your destination, trying to make do without these amenities is what causes stress levels to rise during your trip! Add to that the needs of young children and infants, and your holiday only ends up feeling more exhausting than relaxing. Therefore it’s recommended that you carefully analyse your family’s needs and refrain from overlooking any requirements, however mundane they may seem, before booking your hotel. 2) Convenience of transportation When it comes to choosing family-friendly hotels in Sri Lanka, considering transportation is very crucial. If travelling via public transport with children, make sure your hotel is situated within close proximity to bus stops and railway stations. Since Sri Lankan public transport route information isn’t easy to find online or even in travel guides, getting someone from your hotel to help you find your way will help you avoid overcrowded buses or trains, or hop into the wrong ones. 3) Kid-friendly essentials You will be surprised as to how much of a difference even a simple kiddies meal may make (if your hotel has it!). As it lights up your little ones faces, it pays to not take children’s amenities such as day care centres and kids swimming pools for granted. While leading hotels in Colombo may have such amenities readily available within the premises, other establishments may be able to suggest locations close by, depending on your specific needs. If any of the facilities that you are looking for aren’t listed prior to booking, send an inquiry to the hotel before you confirm your reservation. That way it won’t only give you peace of mind to know that your amenities of choice will be available to take good care of your children once you arrive, but will also give your hotel notice in advance to make necessary arrangements (if needed). |
