How to Chose the Right Resort In Lake Geneva

Now that Christmas is behind us, it is the perfect time to start thinking about your upcoming summer family vacations. Follow these helpful suggestions to find the best Lake Geneva resort for you and your family.

1. You need to determine what your budget is and try not to spend over that amount. This way you will have extra funds that can be used to experience Lake Geneva. Why not spend a day boating on the lake, take a carriage ride around town, enjoy a day of shopping in Lake Geneva’s boutiques or take pleasure in a fabulous dinner? Determining your budget will also immediately narrow your list of potential resorts.

2. Make a list of things you must have in the room of your resort.
a. How many bedrooms will you need? Bathrooms?
b. Do you plan on eating most of your meals in your room? Will you need a full kitchen?
c. Will you need a TV? Cable? DVD player?
d. Are you bringing your laptop? Will you need wireless internet?

3. Spend some time online researching the resorts that fit into your allotted budget. One great way to do this is by looking at the resort’s websites, as well as reading reviews guests have posted about their stay at these resorts on travel sites. You are sure to find both positive and negative reviews for most resorts depending on how they accommodated specific needs of specific guests, so don’t let one bad review make your decision.

4. If you are traveling with children, you might want to look for a resort with additional amenities such as a swimming pool, children’s play area, or daily activities for them to partake in.

5. Decide if it is important to you where the resort is located in reference to the activities you plan to do. If you plan to spend your whole time at the resort this question isn’t important, but for those who want to explore your location this question is vital, especially depending on the time of year. Lake Geneva is congested during the summer months so if you plan to drive into town everyday you need to think about parking and parking meters. Both of which can be stressful and expensive.

6. Check to see if your potential resorts are offering any special discounts during the time you are thinking about visiting. The off-season is the perfect time to check into the resorts to see if they are offering any holiday specials that can be used during the time of your planned visit.
