Family of 4 DC Age 11 & 15 - Hotel Room type?

[Chellors123]

Hi

We are looking to book a 10 night AI holiday for March next year and currently looking at hotels.

My DC will be 11 & 15 by then, should we now be looking at 2 rooms? Our last holiday in a hotel (2 years ago) we all shared the same room with a double bed and sofa bed. Just wondering, particularly with eldest DC whether he is a bit too old to be on a sofa bed for 10 nights and doubt will want to share with his sister!

Be good to know what everyone else does with DC at a similar age?

Thanks!

Family room. We are going to a Holiday Village and they have family room with a partition / sliding doors, double in one, two singles in the other. The DC will likely have to share.

Most of the Tui hotels have the same set up or duplexes.

Yes of course your opposite sex kids are too old to share a bed! I wouldn’t want 10 days all sharing one hotel room if I was any of you!
You need a suite or an apartment!

Yes a million percent. They are too old to share a room. Or can you split them up in 2 rooms next door and you share with the 11 yr old?

holiday village ones are smallish rooms - been to 4 resorts with them (literally just fits a 2 single bed in either side of the room plus a tiny gap to walk down to the balcony and walls touching 3 sides of the bed) - I’d get 2 rooms. Or a villa and eat out for lunch / dinner we do that lots to gain space / private pool / no hassle with sunbeds! Holiday village sunbeds is nutty literally people putting out towels at 5am so unless you copy people it’s virtually impossible to get a sun bed at 8/9/10 am - beyond bonkers

They need twin beds at the very least. You can't have an 11 and 15 year old girl/boy sharing a bed . 9 and 13 are bad enough

We had a 2 bedroom Family room with dc 16 and 13 which was ideal - a double and a twin with shared bathroom and balcony but a door between them. Ds16 would die rather than share with us, but this was fine

Agree can’t make them share a bed, bad enough sane room.

Surely whether they can share a room depends on how well the kids get on? If they get on well then it's not a problem in my opinion. They can get changed in the bathroom after all, it's not really a hardship for a week/10 days. I agree about sharing a bed though.

We had two rooms and DD and DS were happy to share.

I think for the short period of time that a holiday entails they could share a room. I would never expect them to share a bed though. We would do interconnecting rooms with twin beds.
