Accommodation: Children will share a room with adults, typically staying with their parents or guardians. In cases where a family requires additional rooms, standard room rates will apply for the extra room. For families with multiple children, we will do our best to accommodate preferences, though room arrangements will depend on the specific hotel policies and availability.
