Where to Stay on Prince Edward Island
Where you stay on Prince Edward Island depends on what you plan to do and where you plan to do it. PEI is a small province but vacation options are in abundance and you're only limited by your creativity and vacation budget. So before you book your reservations, sit down and decide what you want to do, where you want to do it and how much money you intend to spend.
Bear in mind that most prices you come across will be listed in Canadian dollars since PEI is a province of Canada. Cancellation and booking deposits are always set by the establishment owner and can vary greatly from place to place. So ask questions and read the fine print before making your reservations. Nearly all listings will show a Canada select rating which is based on a set of national standards of quality.
There are many options including cottages, resorts, bed and breakfast places, hospitality homes, Breakfast Inns, Regular Inns, Hotels and Motels, and campgrounds. By definition these are:
Cottage: a self contained unit with private bath and cooking facilities, either stand alone or linked. These can also be houses or condos and suites.
Resorts: A resort offers on site recreational activity, on site dining, private baths and rooms along with many added amenities.
Hospitality Homes or Bed and Breakfast: are private homes with a guest room for rent and the bathroom may be shared or private. Usually breakfast is available.
Breakfast Inns: are bigger bed and breakfast facilities
Inn: Offers private rooms and suites and bathrooms with on site breakfast, lunch and dinner meals available. Be sure and check out the ratings on Inns as some are better than others.
Hotel/Motel: Offer a range of private facilities and services for guests, from top of the line to family budget establishments for the cost conscious.
Campgrounds: There is a two tiered system for campgrounds, so be sure to look at the ratings because not all campgrounds are alike in what they offer. For instance, some campgrounds offer electricity, while some don't. Some are very secure and offer laundry facilities for example, while others don't. It is important to do a little research before traveling.
In fact, while online doing your research, look for vacation packages and other discounts that are offered by the various facilities and establishments to make your vacation easier while increasing your enjoyment of Prince Edward Island.
