Family Travel 6 Reasons to Book a Room with a Kitchen
Traveling with kids is crazy fun!
Thanks to many modern conveniences, it is now easier than ever to bring the kids along. One of those conveniences being a suite or rental or room with a kitchen or kitchenette. In fact, I won’t book with a resort or hotel if they don’t have some form of in-room kitchen or kitchenette!
Sound extreme?!!
Not really! Here’s why.
Family Travel: 6 Reasons to Book a Room with a Kitchen
- Save time. My kids are literally always eating! If I don’t bring along food and have the ability to heat it up or store it or prepare it, then I spend the entire time trying to get them food!
- You know the snacks and foods they like best. In between the planned meals out, it is nice to be able to have snacks and maybe a breakfast in bed or lunch without having to go out for it. If you have a young one, having a kitchen makes life so much easier when heating up baby food/formula.
- Save money. Eating out every meal as a family can get pricey. Having the ability to put together a simple meal in your room can remedy that! 😉
- Offers healthier options. Having a place to store and prepare fruits and healthy breakfast and snack options will help you eat healthy while traveling.
- Gives you the opportunity to really taste local food. We love to find a local farmers market, pick up something new that we are not familiar with and take it back to the room to prepare as the locals would and try!
- Food allergy relief. If you or any of your children have food allergies, you know it can be hard to find foods that meet your needs while traveling. Having a kitchen is the answer for you!
It seems like a small thing, but really, having a kitchen or kitchenette when traveling with kids can really be a day saver and definitely a belly saver!
Most resorts and hotels have rooms with some form of a kitchen readily available for families that travel, you just have to be sure to ask/look for it before booking. There are plenty of options out there so be sure to look around, here is how I use the internet to book our travel arrangements.
Happy and Safe Travels!

SUCH a great idea and something I never realized the value of until I had to travel for work recently. They booked me at one of the Residence Inn hotels, that had a kitchenette. What a difference that made to my wallet, diet, and stress-level while traveling! It was great. I plan on doing this when we travel as a family now, too.
