Why you should consider self catering accommodation

[Ashvin Sawmynaden]

With the economic climate putting on hold a lot of people's travel plans and many tourism-dependent regions being adversely affected by such factors, many places are now offering self catering accommodation. Such accommodation is cheaper than standard travel hotels and resorts and are thus enjoy a new-found popularity, especially with those traveling on a budget (which is now a case for a lot of people).

 

It is indeed true self catering accommodation offers several great advantages, which include:

• cheaper rates
• usually more intimate accommodation (great if you're looking for a romantic vacation)
• more flexible schedules
• rooms are equipped with refrigerators and small kitchenettes

In fact, some country, such as the Seychelles and Rodrigues, have seen more and more tourists directly opting for such location appartement Seychelles packages. The Seychelles islands' luxury accommodations are particularly expensive and there is no surprise that people are looking into these more.

 

When selecting a self catering accommodation, it is important to take the following into consideration:

• the location of the guesthouse or villa; you ideally want something that is not too far from the beach
• amenities and facilities offered; some self catering lodges offer great facilities bundled in great deals
• whether or not they offer meals. Self catering villas, such as a typical Seychelles guesthouse, often have the option to provide meals, but these can be very expensive. It is still worth confirming this in case you feel you may want to eat at the hotel a few days.
