At Hotels VIVA we’re specialists in family holidays, and the fact is that when the family grows, getting yourself organised and preparing for a well-merited holiday can become somewhat chaotic. We make it easy for you: our family hotels are equipped with facilities and a tailored programme of events so that travelling with children becomes an authentic pleasure, and while the youngest members of the household are playing and having non-stop fun, the grown-ups can unwind in blissful relaxation.

 

Here are some of the secrets for enjoying blissful family holidays:

 

Choose a hotel tailored to kids.


This point is key: having a pirate boat, enclosed and supervised play zones, entertainment geared towards each age group and kids’ activities can make an enormous difference for parents. If you can also hire pushchairs or they have high chairs, avoiding the need to take all your gear, you’ll travel much lighter and be more relaxed.

 

Be practical: pack comfortable clothes and the basics.


At Hotels VIVA we have laundry facilities for all our guests, so you can forget those “just-in-case” items… which tend to make your suitcase weigh a ton!

 

If your hotel offers an “all-inclusive” option, go for it and forget all the hassle!

It’s particularly practical if you’re travelling with children, because you can forget about taking your wallet with you wherever you go and it gives you plenty of freedom as a family. A real stress-free holiday! Family hotels also take into account kids’ options in their buffets and menus, ensuring parents don’t need to worry about finding something that suits all the family.

If you can, get around by bicycle. At Hotels VIVA we offer a bicycle hire service.

If your kids have learnt to ride bikes, it will not only provide you with a means of transport but will be another fun activity to do as a family.
