When travelling to Alta, Norway with family, many people wonder if they should choose a resort or hotel. There are pros and cons to both and it ultimately depends on what you are looking for in your vacation.
Resorts offer a wide variety of activities for all members of the family, from children's clubs to spas and golf courses. They usually have more on-site amenities than a hotel, such as restaurants, bars, and shops, as well as more spacious grounds. This can be great if you want to be able to relax and lounge by the pool or beach during the day and have everything you need close by. However, they can be more expensive than a hotel.
Hotels are typically more affordable and can offer great value for money. They are a good option if you are looking for a more traditional hotel experience with rooms close to each other. Alternatively, if you are looking to explore the local area and want to be near the main attractions, then a hotel might be a better choice.
