Villa Holiday or Package Holiday
Everybody knows someone who has been on one and an awful lot of people have been on one themselves. Yes we are talking about the age old Package holiday. The safest, most common holiday. Package holidays have been around for years and I am sure everyone will know someone that has went to a travel agent and booked a holiday through them. Is the tide turning though? Have people found a better way to enjoy their holidays costing them a fraction of travel agent prices?
Villa Holidays is now becoming the main way to book a holiday. For the first time since villa holidays came on the scene more holidaymakers are booking their holiday direct with the owner or through a website that offer villa holidays than with a Travel Agent.
Let us have a look at the Pros and Cons of both types of holidays. Firstly the Package Holiday. Most people know this as the safest way to book a holiday because travel agents are ABTA approved and feel more secure booking holidays through a travel agent. You do have the added gusrentee that if anything is wrong with the holiday you have some governing body to complain to and for that peace of mind you pay a premium for this. Travel Agents charge customers per person for their holidays. On the other hand if you were to book a villa holiday then you don't have the guarentee of the governing body, you deal directly with the person that owns the property therefore you cut out the middle man. Instead of paying a per person price for your holiday you pay for the villa or apartment as a whole no matter how many people are travelling. Let's say for example you were wanting to go on holiday to Spain. A travel agent could easily charge about £300 per person for an apartment in Cosat Blanca, if 4 people are going on that holiday that would cost £1200 and that is including flights. Okay now lets look at the pricing for a similar apartment in Costa Blanca. 2 weeks at the height of the season in July or August would cost £550 but that is for the apartment, that is £137.5 per person, just for the accommodation. The days of the internet are upon us and even flight companies are offering cheap flights to their customers. An average price of a flight to the Costa Blanca is about £59 so the total price of the holiday booked direct with the villa owner is £196.50 now the total cost of the holiday for 4 people is £786 saving you £414 that is over £100 per person.
Now I hear you cry but you have no guarentees! If you follow a few simple steps you can have the guarentees in writing. We spoke with Peter Hartley the Managing Director of Last Minute Villa Holiday who said " Villa Holidays are a boom at the moment, people are wanting to go on holiday and have more money to spend when they are on holiday. You can save a lot of money by booking a villa or apartment rather than booking with a travel agent but I would advise on following these simple guidelines to make sure you have the guarentees you are looking for. Firstly always speak to the villa owner by telephone,it is better than just talking by email, Before you phone make sure you have a list of questions written down that you want answered. If you do not feel comfortable with the answers then you do not book the villa or apartment. Always make sure you get emailed confirmation of the reservation of the villa or apartment before you send a deposit or the full payment. If you are still feeling unsure about booking with a certain villa owner contact the website you found it on and speak to them directly. Our Company LastMinuteVillaHoliday.co.uk always ensure that our customers are happy before they book the accommodation. We can put them in touch with the villa owner directly or if they would rather deal with a company we would make the booking for them. In Summary if they follow these simple rules then they are assured a great holiday."
So is it a Villa Holiday or a Package Holiday this year. I would always go for the one that saved me the most money and allowed me more money to spend on Holiday.

Townhouses - Rooms for Rent for Every Family!
Rooms for rent! No, not the kind where you are staying in someone else's home or are stuffed into the same living space as another family.
We are talking about a house of rooms for rent for cheap discount prices that you cannot pass up! It's a townhouse, a house that has as many rooms as you want, ranging from one to four, and doesn't include the spacious kitchen or living area which make this house a place perfect when vacationing in the city of Orlando.
There are many rooms for rent in these townhouses and a lot of room as well! But why is renting rooms better than just paying for a hotel room? Perfect question! The hotels of Orlando, Kissimmee, and Davenport (all areas that surround the Disney World parks) are crammed in next to each other on strips that include tourist trinket shops, fast food restaurants, and crowded food chains.
The traffic is heavy, the people come in crowds, and the prices are high. Not only that, hotels are not always guaranteed to be quiet, spacious, or even comfortable. These rooms to rent in the townhouses are not only brand new, they have as much space as you could want and are separated from every other house.
This is to provide a comfortable and spacious stay in the Central Florida area where you are invited to relax and enjoy after the long days of attractions and theme parks.
Rent rooms for sometimes the same exact price or even cheaper than a hotel room that you would need. And if there was a choice between a one-room hotel room and a house with as many as four rooms, I think we all know which one would be the popular choice.
It is the perfect plan for your family!
Not only does a rent room plan make sense, it is the perfect plan for your family! Rent rooms as small as a studio for a weekend as a couple that doesn't need too much room (but enough to move around in!) or rent rooms for a family of five, six, or even seven.
With twin beds in many of the four-room townhouses, as well as double beds and a pullout couch, many people can fit in one townhouse and still be comfortable with their own space and area to relax and have an enjoyable time.
Rent rooms for vacations, holidays, celebrations, family reunions, or couple get-always with no kids! What a great idea!
Renting rooms is simple and easy. Just think of the comfort you will experience when you come from a long day at the theme parks and attractions, the beach, or hours of driving to get to your destination. Instead of having to check into a hotel and mess with not having enough room for unpacking or to relax, you can have a townhouse for yourself and your family with room enough to live as you do at home.
What better way to spend your vacation
What better way to spend your vacation - in a home away from home! Rent rooms for fun, for pleasure, for relaxation, for poolside entertainment, for attractions nearby, for a beautiful surrounding area, for beautiful decorations, for cheap costs, for discounted prices, for luxurious moments, for family bonding time, for the kids to remember when they get older, for the theme parks, for a vacation that you will remember for a lifetime - not only because it was jam-packed with activities and attractions, but also because it was relaxing and took place in a house that was roomy enough for everyone to live.
Townhouses with three rooms are very popular because they are perfect for the average family with a couple of kids.
Imagine a house with three rooms instead of cramming into one room in a hotel with no space and no place for the kids to play or let loose.
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen! But just think of a time when you will be able to let the kids loose and still be able to enjoy a relaxing beverage or appetizer on your own as a couple or by yourself to unwind from a long day at the park.
You can visit the restaurant or tiki bar on sight at the townhouse resort or even make your own food and beverages in the comfort of your own townhouse.
Three rooms are important for you and your family for many reasons. You get the masters room - one with a queen size bed, private bath with whirlpool tub and a walk-in shower.
Discount adventure in Central Florida
Another room for the kids or even friends visiting the Orlando area with you is made up with two twin-size beds and a private bath.
The third room for anyone else that would like to come and join you on your discount adventure in Central Florida has two full-size beds.
There is even more room in the living room with a couch that folds out into a queen-size bed. Not only can you fit many people with three rooms in your townhouse, they all will have plenty room and will not feel crammed in as they would in a hotel room nor will they feel like they are spending too much money for more hotel rooms than they can afford.
The townhouses have discounts
The townhouses have discounts that are at times better than hotel rooms discount.
That makes for a townhouse that is that much more attractive than a hotel room. The townhouses at this amazing resort in Davenport, Florida are full of discounts, specials and just waiting for you to call about any last minute deals that they can give to you.

An entire day can be wonderfully spent without even leaving the grounds of this townhouse resort with the large, hearted pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, game room, sand volleyball court, lighted tennis courts, lighted basketball court, and even a billiards room!
Even with hotel room discounts, they could never offer as great of recreation activities as you'll get at this townhouse resort.
