When 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 by the number of people traveling with you. This can sometimes be much cheaper than even a 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 can sometimes have a rooftop hot tub or pool. They are perfect for small groups that want privacy and parties.
Private apartments will not be found in regular travel brochures. You will have to go online and find a company that specializes in renting private apartments. They must be located in the area you want 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 should take care of your itinerary, get you tickets to shows and special events, and they should be able to handle booking a flight.
The apartments are perfect for large groups and families, but sometimes clients are discouraged because they think they will be responsible for the upkeep of the apartment. While clients are expected to keep the apartment in good repair, they are not expected to make the beds or clean the bathrooms. The travel company will have a cleaning service that will take care of that.
If you’re 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’s accessible by local transportation, somewhere that’s close to tourist attractions, shopping, 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 security is like at the apartment complex. You won’t know what the crime rate is and you won’t know where anything is. You’ll stand out like 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 on vacation with a group of friends, you’ll want to stay connected to the outside world. Most 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.
Keep in mind that even if you have the penthouse, you may not have your own hot tub. This is not a negative for the apartment complex, it is more likely that the building has common facilities. Check the building description and you should be able to use a sauna, pool, gym or hot tub 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.
