Acommodation Types
Recommended Accommodations Based on Needs
PROS AND CONS OF EACH TYPE
Depending on Needs and Location We Can Recommend Based on Experience and Research
HOTEL / MOTEL
Good for business trips or traveling alone/as a couple. Not so much with kids. Even if they can accommodate more sleeping room, hotels when it comes to travel/vacations are good for one night. Longer stays is more budget friendly with vacation rentals unless you have enough money to spare.
From $95 /Night
RESORT
Like hotels except even more vacation friendly with upgraded amenities like decked out pools, onsite and local attractions offerings, spas and more. If you’re going to Panama City Beach or other Florida beaches, a resort likely is a condo, if you go to the islands it is more like a vacation haven.
From $95 /Night
CABIN / VILLA
Best for going with big groups for gatherings, usually up in the mountains, lake or a nice beach town. No concierge and everything is DIY but you feel the comfort of your home but in a relaxing retreat type setting.
From $265 /Night
AIRBNB/VRBO
Great for off the beaten path. If you’re traveling where there aren’t many hotels, staying with local homes provides an affordable lodging that are sometimes better managed than hotels/motels. They have unique charm and many owners go out of their way to please guests, like offer free use of kayaks.
From $150 /Night
OTA: ONLINE TRAVEL AGGREGATORS
Best when needing to book 1-2 nights and not having to deal with cleaning fees that vacation rentals usually charge. These OTAs have powerful search engines that can show available rooms across multiple hotels and even rental homes. Booking.com has a great feature where you can list a big group of people and it will return rooms with enough beds for all.
From $100 /Night
CRUISES
Great to travel to multiple destinations at once and not have to worry about what to eat, entertainment for all ages and plenty of activities for any interests.
From $100 PP/Night
“Traveling helps me explore the world and gets me away from the screen. It’s nice to be on the other side of the screen with real experiences”

“Don’t always go for what is the cheapest, you get what you pay for. Instead find the trip with the best value: Affordable and checks all your boxes for a great vacation. Once you get the hang of it, learn how to optimize your trip…that is once you booked your valued trip, make the most of it in memories and savings.”

“I used to take pictures for fun, but now I realize it’s preserving precious memories I might otherwise have forgotten.”
