Traveling abroad for a holiday is nothing new, it has been done for many years. However there is a new trend in holiday accommodation and that is to rent a self catering apartment or villa instead of staying in a hotel.

I had always hated using hotels, but it had never occurred to me to rent a self catering apartment and I would not have known where to start looking anyway. Then my friend returned from her holiday in Ibiza and told me about the fantastic time she had. She raved about how relaxed it was when renting a self catering apartment.

There are not many hotels that can accommodate a family of eight in one room, we always had to pay for extra rooms which made the price extremely expensive. Hotels also have strict rules about taking food and drink up to the rooms. The kids can also be quite nosy at times as well, and it was never a proper holiday for me as I was always waiting for someone to complain about the noise.

A friend then suggested that I rented a self catering apartment or villa instead. Apparently they had moved on in terms of modern designs, space and practicality. I decided to look further into her suggestion and found so many sites through the search engine called Google. A lot of the sites were for rent from people who had bought property abroad and rented it out to cover the running costs.

I found apartments with luxury bathrooms, all modern cons and lots of bedrooms, so we no longer had to sleep on top of one another. The price was also very cheap and we would save money as each apartment came with a kitchen so we did not have to go out to restaurants every night.

I knew that I wanted the family to holiday in Ibiza, so I eagerly sat there for an hour looking at hundreds of self catering apartments to rent. I finally decided on one and was able to make the reservation there and then. There was also the optional choice of employing a cleaner to come into the apartment every day and I paid for this as well, because I did not want to spend my holiday cleaning up after the kids.

I experienced a holiday in a self catering apartment for the first time last month and it was everything I expected it to be and more. The family woke up , when we wanted to instead of waking up early so we did not miss breakfast. We had breakfast sitting there with a view of the sea.

If you are thinking of accommodation to choose for your next holiday, then simply surf the web to find out about rented accommodation. It really does make a difference to the quality of holiday that you will have. Now I have experienced rented accommodation for my holiday, I would never go back to using a hotel.
