WHERE TO STAY TO SAVE ON VACATIONS
from the article "Cheap Family Vacations For the Frugal Lifestyle"

Where to stay
* The all inclusive cheap family vacation is often a good choice for families with small children, as everything is included in the price including kids activities.
* For families with older children booking your own accommodation directly will work out better, as you won't be paying for things you won't be using, like a kids club.
Telephone hotels directly to see if they have any special rates or family deals on offer. When being frugal with your vacation plans it may mean having to take extra time to sort things out for yourself to save in the long run.
* Home swaps - why not arrange with family or friends who live far away to swap each other's house for a week or so.
It will still feel like a vacation and the cost of accommodation is just reduced to paying for utilities.
* Time-shares - if you have a place you like to visit regularly for your vacations then why not consider a share in a time-share apartment. Top tip though is to deal directly with the owner of the apartment and not through an agent.
* Book accommodation on the outskirts of your destination rather than in the centre, prices will differ greatly and buying a season ticket for your whole family can further reduce local bus fares.
MY THOUGHTS
i would much rather save by vacationing off-season. if the place is not nice,comfy, with room service - i wouldn't call it a vacation.
