Pros & Cons of staying in hotels and guesthouses
​Pros:
  • ​a massive range available from huge luxury resorts to intimate guesthouses 
  • restaurants and possibly room service on hand for food morning, noon and night.
  • someone to come and tidy your room and make your bed each day
  • reception desk with support 24/7
  • many hotels have lots of great facilities such as gyms, water parks, huge swimming pools, entertainment programme and kids clubs
  • less isolated, often more centrally located 
  • no need to feel 'responsible' for the property as with self catering accommodation
​Cons:
  • ​if holidaying with children it can sometimes be tricky to put them to bed and have space to enjoy the evening
  • a bit more disjointed for big groups
  • no washing machine and laundry is often charged per item so harder to pack light 
  • less privacy and independence

BUT it is possible to get all kinds of different hotels and guesthouses so also consider the following:
  • ​you can get a villa/apartment in a complex with hotel facilities, for example, ​'Aparthotels' are becoming more common
  • if you are a group you may be able to hire a hotel or guesthouse exclusively
  • booking a suite for a group or family often works really well as there are often seperate bedrooms which gives eveyone a bit more space and makes bedtime easier
  • Some hotels come with private pools or your own jacuzzi on the terrace
