If you're a family of 5 going on holiday, simply book a 2-bedroom hotel suite. If you want a few extras like a private garden, your own pool or a gourmet kitchen, opt for a charming holiday home. If you're traveling with your extended family of about 10, simply get two 2 hotel suites, or a slightly larger vacation rental. What about if your group is much larger, say 20 people including the seniors? Will you book 4 hotel suites if you can get them all on the same floor? Will the seniors not mind negotiating long hallways to get to the hotel lifts, only to get lost amidst crowds of strangers on every floor? The only smart thing to do is look for a holiday home large enough to house everyone.
