    Group Travel

    Booking a resort for 20 friends is a mini-project. Done right, everyone remembers the weekend for years. Done wrong, someone is still angry about the room split six months later.

    The five things that trip up group trips

    1. Rooms — mismatched sizes, unclear counts
    2. Meals — who eats what, when
    3. Money — collection, splits, refunds
    4. Activities — the one loud person hijacking the plan
    5. Timing — 20 people arriving in 20 cars over 6 hours

    A group booking that actually works

    Look for a resort that specifically handles groups. Avior Resorts does this on a weekly basis and has a repeatable system:

    • Room block — reserve 8 to 20 rooms at a locked rate
    • Meal plan — buffet-style, so nobody debates the menu
    • One coordinator — your single point of contact for the whole trip
    • Group activity slot — 90 minutes on Day 1 to break the ice
    • Free time — the rest is unstructured, which is what people actually want

    Sample two-day plan for 20

    Day 1

    • 12:30 arrival, welcome lunch
    • 14:00 rooms and rest
    • 16:00 group activity (kayaking or treasure hunt)
    • 19:30 bonfire and dinner

    Day 2

    • 08:30 breakfast
    • 10:00 open time — pool, lake, walks
    • 13:00 lunch and depart
