Most people will try to cut costs when travelling. And it makes sense for a number of reasons. When you are travelling with the family, making meals can be much better than eating out all the time, so staying in one of the serviced apartments Sydney has to offer sounds like a good idea. But when you really think about it, how often do you get to go on a holiday? Is it time to ditch the hostel search and start looking at resorts in Malaysia for your next trip? We think so!
A History of Bad Holidays?
Did you have a less-than-desirable experience the last time you took a family holiday? It certainly pays to have a luxurious escape if your last few trips have been less than wonderful. Accommodation can make a big difference to your holiday experience. Even staying in a room with air conditioning can transform your holiday experience and be well worth the investment.Â
Your One Trip All Year
You work hard all year long, and only afford yourself a two-week holiday every year. This means that during that time you should splurge. After all, you’ve earned it. So upgrade your plane ticket, and book a room at the five-star resort you’ve been admiring ever since you found your favourite holiday spot.
A Special Occasion
Taking a holiday to celebrate an important anniversary or milestone birthday? Then it’s really important to live it up on your holiday. You want to be able to really enjoy yourself and so go all out and spoil yourself and that special someone.
Life Is Too Short
If you can afford to upgrade but simply don’t, you should consider changing the way you travel. Life is too short to be scraping by, especially when you’re on holiday. Saving for a rainy day is good, but what about enjoying life in the here and now? What if it never ‘rains?!’
First-Time Travellers
It’s really important that when you are travelling for the first time, especially overseas, you live it up a little, before going hardcore backpacking. It will help ease you into travelling, especially if you are going for an extended period of time. The last thing you want is for your first night in a foreign country after travelling for 20 hours to be spent in a room without air-conditioning with 10 other people.
What If You Can’t Afford to Upgrade?
Then save more and travel less. Think of it as quality over quantity. If you really want to enjoy a luxurious escape then simply save your pennies for an extra 6 months to a year so you can truly enjoy the holiday you’ve always dreamed of.
