VAal marina guest house

Many travelers to the Vaal Dam should decide between staying in a Vaal Marina guest house or a hotel.  For this, booking your stay at the Vaalnest botique hotel is ideal. Their decision will be based on specific needs.  Those who desire a “home away from home” experience may seek out a traditional Vaal Marina guest house, while others may require the corporate amenities and convenient location provided by a hotel.  Traditionally, a hotel is located near a major airport or roadway for convenient commuting, while a guest house is often located near a natural landmark or tourist destination.  However, in the case of Vaal Dam accommodation, this does not play a role, seeing as both a Vaal Marina guest house and a hotel are situated next to the Vaal Dam.  Both a Vaal Marina guest house and a hotel provide secure lodging for their guests, but there are some notable differences. Most hotels form part of a chain, which insures a certain level of consistency, but can feel a bit sterile or corporate.  A Vaal Marina guest house, on the other hand, is owned and operated independently.  Those who prefer a Vaal Marina guest house to a hotel say that the more intimate atmosphere is a major selling point.  Hotels are designed to handle larger groups and business travelers, who may not require the same personal touches as those on vacation.

Another difference between a hotel and a Vaal Marina guest house is the staffing.  Because a hotel operates on a larger scale, it requires a larger staff than a Vaal Marina guest house.  Hotel employees must clean the rooms, wash the linens, operate restaurants and banquet halls, check guests in and out, and provide entertainment.  Guests may have a difficult time getting to know the hotel staff, since they work on various shifts.  The Vaal Marina guest house owners, on the other hand, maintain a very small staff and spend a considerable amount of time socializing with their guests. The food served in a Vaal Marina guest house is often prepared by the owners and is usually gourmet quality.  Depending on an individual hotel's facilities, breakfast may be a selection of cereals, breads, and juices or a full buffet served in a large dining room.  The overall pace of a Vaal Marina guest house is generally slower than that of many large hotels, which can turn breakfast into a more leisurely affair.

A hotel's strongest advantage over a Vaal Marina guest house though is the room rate.  Hotels can afford to offer discounts for frequent corporate guests or government employees.  A Vaal Marina guest house, on the other hand, may charge a different rate for peak and slow seasons, because the owners cannot always afford to offer volume discount rates.  However, the rates for an exclusive Vaal Marina guest house in a popular tourist destination such as the Vaal Dam can be significantly higher than those of a hotel.
