Hotels in this category typically feature fewer restaurants than their larger counterparts. They also offer fewer options for adventurous tours although in these cases they tend to team up with local tour providers so that guests can sign up for tours upon arrival.

Vacationers can also take advantage of stay-cation offers. This type of offer provides a home away from home atmosphere. The guests rent accommodation such as villas, townhouses or apartments. Sometimes amenities such as housekeeping and meal preparation are included in the price but at other times they are not. Naturally of course, the more amenities available, the more expensive the stay-cation package will be.
