Top 10 Reasons Why A Villa Might Be a Better Vacation Option Than a Hotel

Most people have never experienced a vacation in a private, luxury Villa, preferring the "glossy brochure" resorts and Travel Agency recommendations and "sharing" the hotel with 300 other strangers.


A Villa offers so many more advantages over a hotel, and below are the top 10 reasons why.


1. Price - For a large family or group of friends, a private Villa will work out significantly cheaper that a resort, especially when you consider that a Villa offers complimentary airport transfers, breakfasts, laundry and your own private staff to handle anything you might need. Many Villa's offer all Thai meals inclusive, pre-arrival shopping services at market prices, and some even offer a case of chilled beer on arrival.


2. Service - All Villas come with private live-in staff and often a daily Villa Manager that speaks fluent English and can help you with renting cars, boat charters, and dive trips and usually at a good discount. No more waiting on room service or getting your laundry in by noon.


3. The Food - One of the highlights of staying in a private Villa is the food. Even if the food isn't all inclusive, chances are the Villa will provide a Chef that will cook whatever you want and charge you only the cost of the fresh ingredients. Imagine a poolside BBQ with enough lobster, prawns and fish to feed a small army and the cost is less than an entree at a 5-star resort.


4. Facilities - These days most private resorts offer as much, or even more than a 5-star resort - Cable TV, free Wi-Fi, DVD players, IPOD docks and fully equipped kitchens, BBQ's and more. Many villas have home gymnasiums, saunas, Playstations, pool tables, dart boards and you never have to wait for 2 hours for your turn.


5. Privacy - Want to wander your Villa in your bikini or stay in your dressing gown all day? Or listen to your choice of music or watch your DVD's? Or perhaps use the private gymnasium or Home Theaters that many private Villas have. Perhaps another gin and tonic?...your call.


6. Location - Most Villas are located is beautiful locations, such as beachfront, ocean views, or even on private islands. Villas are usually designed to maximize the outlook with common areas overlooking the best view and bedrooms with views and doors opening to the sea.


7. Luxury - These days, the luxury Villa market is very competitive, and to stay relevant, Villas must continually invest in the quality of the furniture and fixtures to provide a level of luxury that you just can't get in most hotels. Most Villas are extremely tasteful and comfortable.


8. Serenity - Don't you hate how the pool in a 5-star resort resembles "kid soup" at about 5pm every day? At a private Villa, some of the best times are the early evening as the sun sets, a gin and tonic by your own pool and some Dean Martin on the BOSE system. Some moments just can't be captured in a glossy brochure or website. This is one of them.


9. Security - Most Villas offer a high level of security. Whilst all Villas will have in-room safes, leaving your IPod, laptop, sunglasses or wallet around the Villa is usually not a problem. And at night, windows and doors can stay open. There are always permanent staff on site and usually security guards that monitor outside.


10. Low season - In the low season, Villas can offer unbelievable deals, especially if you have a little flexibility in your dates, or you are booking last minute. Sure the weather may show some rain, but it will still be balmy warm. But there are fewer people around, things are cheaper and It's not uncommon to get a 25% - 50% discount on the listed rates in the low seasons - so don't take those list prices as fixed.


Villas offer so much more than a resort but many people are nervous about finding and booking a Villa and paying a hefty deposit up front. Many people see so called "Villas" that are nothing more than a self-catered holiday. Luxury Villas live up to their name and it pays to seek out a qualified agent that is responsive, knowledgeable and offers suggestions and options.

10 current cars that shouldn't miss from your garage

Image
  What would you choose if somehow you ended up a multi-millionaire and wanted to select ten (and only ten) cars for your garage? I already discussed   what classic cars I'd choose , but now I'll try to make a selection among current-day models, especially the ones launched very recently.  Of course, a lot of supercars will not make my list, because I'd like to have a garage full of models that I'd drive at least once per month, and I don't quite like flashy cars. What's more, most of them will not make a collector's list, because they would not keep enough value over time. But they would cover all the bases for a petrolhead. Or almost. Feel free to check out the  entire photo gallery  and leave us a comment including your bucket list, will you? 1.

Email Marketing and Dress Rentals

 Still, advertising and marketing for women's clothing stores remains a challenge, especially with traditional methods of promotion such as newspapers and magazines lacking the type of impact they enjoyed a generation or two ago. But there is a more modern method of spreading the word that will provide store owners a sizable return on their investment-email marketing for dress rentals. A dress rentals' email marketing campaign provides simplicity during every step of the process. First of all, the software that stores need to implement the campaign is inexpensive to purchase and easy to operate. Stores don't have to hire anyone else to oversee this endeavor. In addition, the software is more affordable than buying an ad in a newspaper or magazine (or purchasing commercial time on a local radio or television station) while offering the type of engagement old-fashioned advertising cannot hope to approach. How easy is it to miss an ad in the newspaper and/or magazine, to chang...
