Start with the way your group will live there, not just the view.
Same sun. Higher standards.
BABUSHKAIN THE KNOW
1. Who needs what?
Children, grandparents, couples and friends can need very different things from the same stay. Talk about privacy, bedrooms, mobility and the places where everyone will spend time together.
2. What will the day feel like?
Think about meals, beach time, quiet time and getting out for dinner. The location should support the trip you actually want to have.
3. Which practical details need checking?
Ask about the details that matter to your group: space for a crib, steps, shade, pool access and the distance between the rooms and shared spaces. Confirm them with the supplier before committing.
4. Who can help locally?
A driver, chef, sitter or villa contact may be part of the experience you want. Clarify availability, scope and supplier terms instead of assuming everything is included.
5. What is the Plan B?
Make room for changing weather, changing plans and days when someone wants to do less. A good trip does not depend on everything happening exactly as scheduled.
