Traveling with a family of 5 is never easy - in pretty much any place we’ve visited. Some places, however, make it easy. They are accommodating, understand the needs of families with small children and are willing to work with you.
Other places are not so great, and nickel and dime for as much as they possibly can.
Henann Alona is one of those places. I booked a room well in advance for 1, so I could be close to diving. Then, my family wanted to join. I asked the front desk how I can have my family stay. I was told any room available was good for two people and I’d pay extra for each person above that number. And, the most per room is 4. So essentially I’d need to pay for one full room to accommodate the one person they would not allow in my room. Which, btw, was a junior suite, one of the largest rooms they have with multiple beds, couches, chairs - you get the point - plenty of room. And I explained I’d be willing to pay whatever to have my whole family stay. So, to accommodate my 7 year old son I had to book another room at full price - which include multiple beds, toiletries etc.
If you’re looking for a family friendly, accommodating place, this may not be it. There are many other more friendly- and honestly - less greedy places than Henann.
