Sleeping arrangements when holidaying with adult children

[RealFatball]

Interested to know how others with adult children (daughter 21 and son 20) manage at all inclusive hotel resorts? myself and my husband don’t want to share a hotel room with the kids (as it would be nice to have some private time!) so considered booking two rooms, however my son and daughter would then need to share, which isn’t ideal, but 3 separate rooms is probably outside our budget! We normally book a 3 bed villa but are looking for something different this year. How do others manage?

Does it have to be an all inclusive resort?
We started booking flights and apartments separately once kids got to older teens, much more room for the whole family.
A 2 bedroom apartment and someone sleeps on a sofa bed in the living room

We book 2 rooms and have for the past couple of years. DS’s will be 20 and 17 when we go in the summer. Obviously with them both being female we don’t have the same issue.

just see how they feel about sharing. They may not mind. It’ll just mean changing in the bathroom as long as they’re happy to sleep in the same room. Just email the hotel to ensure they had two single beds rather than a double. I’ve found most beds in hotels are two singles pushed together anyway.

and for those saying they should pay themselves. I’ve told my dds they don’t need to worry about the costs if holidays until they’re working full time after uni. I wouldn’t expect my 20 year old student dd to fork out loads for a holiday. I’m just glad she’s a good budgeter and doesn’t need us to send her hundreds of pounds for living expenses every month!!

Our DC still cone on holiday with us, they either share a room (twin beds) or if we're going villa/arirbnb then I'll look at 3 beds so they have their own room. There often isn't much difference in cost.

My kids are adult (opposite sexes) and would be happy to share, especially if otherwise it meant them paying for their own room!

I'd happily have shared with my brother at that age. I would now. You just give each other a bit of space to shower and change when necessary.

We stayed here which gave us the benefit of extra bedrooms in a villa but still allowed us to go AI and use the hotel facilities. It’s not high end but perfectly nice.

My PIL paid for us to go on holiday with them into our 30's!.. then we had kids and they paid for everyone. Yep, they bought our company and we all had a fab time. I'll pay for my DC when they are older too.

FWIW my DC are the same sex and still change in the bathroom when sharing.

They’re siblings, unless they want to pay, they share.,no issue.
i have three older children, we usually get two rooms and the tree kids share.

We went on our last family holiday together in 2022. Had all been booked and paid for in 2020 but Covid put paid to that!

Ds was 20 and dd was 18 they shared the bedroom (twin room) and dh and I slept on the sofa.

Dd still come on holiday with us this year dh and I had the bedroom and dd slept on a bed in the living room.

its only for a week to 11 days, we make it work.

Just tell them they eother have to share a free room or book and pay for another room themselves
They could split the cost if that's what they want to do.
But I'd say most adult brothers and sisters would be fine in a twin room for a week.
Unless they don't get on very well?

OP has 1 DS and 1 DD so different.

We get 2 rooms, a king size bed for us and a twin for the kids. They just get changed in their bathroom.

They don't have to go with you, if they choose to join you they share a room and you have your own. They are grown up enough to not be silly about it and sharing means it's financially possible, wanting separate rooms makes it unaffordable. It's an easy decision.
