Plan the Perfect Summer Vacation Close to Home

Summer vacations are the perfect opportunity to get away to a favorite spot for some relaxation or to spend time with your family. However, if your trip is not planned correctly, you will spend your vacation stressed out! Here are some travel tips to make this summer vacation your best one yet:

Pack Plenty of Sun Screen, Hats and Sunglasses
The sun is stronger in the summer and there is nothing worse than having sunburn on vacation. So be sure that you pack plenty of sunscreen and reapply often. This is especially important if you plan on spending time on Geneva Lake or at The Cove of Lake Geneva’s outdoor pools.

Be Flexible
Leave a little wiggle room in your plans. There is so much to do in Lake Geneva from spending time on the lake to shopping at the downtown boutique shops that you will enjoy more of your vacation if you are flexible about what you and your family wants to do during your visit.

Bring a Camera
Not only that, but don’t forget your charger or an extra memory card. There is so much to do in Lake Geneva, you will not want to miss out on any experiences you are going to have or miss out on capturing the beauty of the city or the lake.

Keep the Kids Amused
Lake Geneva offers families many children friendly activities, as does The Cove of Lake Geneva. While at The Cove, you can relax while your children enjoy our children’s friendly pool, daily summer activities, live poolside bands on weekends, and nightly dive in movies. Or if you venture out into Lake Geneva, treat them to an ice cream social boat ride on the Geneva Lake Cruise Line or to a game of mini golf.

Be Prepared For Rain or Cooler Weather
While everyone hopes for warm, sunny weather on their vacation, sometimes that isn’t the case. If that happens during your stay at The Cove, your family can still enjoy the indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna, as well as the arcade. Or venture out into town and enjoy an enclosed boat tour of the lake or a movie at the local theater.

Don’t Overdo It, Relax
The Cove of Lake Geneva’s suites provide guests with the luxuries of home by offering fully equipped kitchens, whirlpool tubs, pillow top mattress beds, and a multitude of other amenities. Spend your day’s relaxing by the pool, out on the lake, or walking around town and checking out all the great boutique shops. Vacation is all about relaxing, so do it!
