Sometimes when you are on vacation, you are going to need to kill a bit of time inside of your hotel. Hotels can either be incredibly relaxing, or incredibly boring places. It is up to you to make the most of your time in them.
If the climate is right, see if your hotel has a swimming pool. Not only is swimming a very relaxing way to spend your time, it is also a great form of exercise. It works out the entire body and gives your lungs a real work out. If you forget your swimsuit, most travel destinations will offer stores that will let you buy one. Though, it is probably cheaper to just bring one from home.
Most places will put a television in every room. Watching TV can be an excellent way to relax as well. Usually when you switch on the TV, there will be a menu where you can also buy movies or play video games. Be warned though, most movies offered cost a lot of money, so try to watch them sparingly if you want to save.
An alternative to purchasing movies is to simply bring your laptop computer and a cord that connects your laptop to the television. That way, you can bring your own DVDs and Blu-Rays and watch whatever is in your own personal media library.
Another way of passing time is to read a book. Books stimulate your mind and help you take a mental vacation for a little while. There are a variety of subjects you can read about, from a variety of genres. Whether you want to read fictional novels, books about history, or books that help you increase your financial IQ, reading is a great way to increase your knowledge about a variety of topics. Try to take some time to read if you don’t ordinarily get in your daily life.
If you’re hungry, there should be a directory of services in your room. Either order room service or look for a restaurant inside of the hotel. Room service can be fun, and even romantic, though, so try to do it at least once, if only for the novelty of it. If you’re going to order, try and order earlier or later in the day because rush hour times can take a while.
Try and see if your hotel has a gym that you can work out at. Just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean that your body doesn’t need to exercise. Plus, the exercise will not only liven your mood, it will make you feel accomplished while you’re taking a break from work! Weight lifting, running, using the elliptical machine, or bicycling are all great ways to pass the time. Even if you don’t feel like working out very hard, doing a stretching routine in your room will be really beneficial.
There are many different ways to spend your time in hotels, so try to pick the ways that are most appealing to you. Be sure to relax, have fun, and be healthy!
