Take A Break With Friends
The troops have been rallied and they’ve already packed their bags. The opportunity has finally arrived for you to leave the washing up, ironing and cleaning behind because a night with the girls is just around the corner and you just can’t wait. There’s really nothing quite like stepping off the treadmill for a night in a hotel with your girl friends to make you feel young at heart again.
When you choose your destination, do make sure the hotel offers everything you might want for your girls night in. If you simply want a night away catching up over a formal dinner in a restaurant and a few drinks to boot then it’s probably preferable to look for a smaller hotel that has an excellent reputation for fine food. But if you want an all singing all dancing night away with pampering beauty treatments, maybe a trip to the Jacuzzi and gym classes for you and all the girls, make sure the hotel has an adequate Spa with suitable facilities available to you. It’s sensible to book any treatments you intend to take advantage of when you make your initial reservation. That way, you won’t be disappointed when you get there. If the hotel has a pool, it’s a good idea to check availability when you make your booking – and remember to tell the girls to bring their costumes.
Just because you’re travelling to a hotel with your friends, remember it shouldn’t mean you should feel like you have to be setting to stun. Pack your little black number by all means – you can put on the glamour and make an entrance if you wish, but lots of girls prefer to stay in their room and enjoy a simple night in. Many hotels understand that this is what a girlie break is most often about and so they positively encourage it. In such hotels, there’s usually a well thought out choice of food available so you can stay in your room and enjoy being waited on hand and foot. With tasty nibbles, big platters and informal suppers that have been created to be shared amongst friends, you most probably won’t want to get dressed at all for dinner. It’s a totally relaxing way to end a session of pampering in the Spa. And there’s more opportunity for a good girlie gossip – without interruption!
Lots of hotels also include a range of extra treats to make your girls night in really memorable. Be sure to check when you book as it may well influence your choice of hotel. For movie fiends, some hotels have a range of DVDs for your enjoyment. Once you’ve actually all agreed on which film to watch, you can chill out in your room and enjoy a chick flick in real comfort. You could be offered complimentary bathrobes or taster beauty treatments, or maybe a complementary bottle of something chilled and sparkling, guaranteed to really get the party started from the minute you walk through the door.
