Budget
What it really costs to travel solo, as a couple or as a family
Key takeaways
- A double-occupancy rate is not a quote for one person travelling alone.
- For a couple, check the total for both adults and the inclusions.
- For a family, enter the exact number and ages of children.
- The seller’s final price confirms what is available for your party.
Two people reading the same “per person” price can end up with very different budgets. Room occupancy and party composition matter. Here is how to turn a displayed rate into a useful total for your own trip.
Solo: request the single-occupancy price
A per-person rate based on double occupancy assumes two travellers sharing the room. If you are travelling alone, search again with one adult. A supplement may apply, but the amount depends on the offer; we do not assign it a standard value.
- Check that the result is for one adult and one room.
- Compare other hotels on the same dates if the total exceeds your budget.
- If a promotion advertises no single supplement, read the eligible dates and room categories.
As a couple: convert the per-person rate to a total
Fictional example: CA$1,400 per person for two adults means CA$2,800 in total if both receive the same rate. Then check taxes, baggage, transfers and other items shown by the seller. This example is not an available offer.
Two packages with the same per-person price may include different rooms or flights. The complete stay for the couple remains the useful comparison.
As a family: enter ages before comparing
Do not automatically apply the adult rate to the whole family or assume that “kids free” includes flights and every charge. Enter the ages requested by the seller and check the room’s maximum occupancy.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Each child’s age | Offer conditions may depend on age. |
| One or multiple rooms | The total must match your chosen room arrangement. |
| Meals, flights and transfers | Verify inclusions for every traveller. |
| The group total | This is the amount to compare against your budget. |
Build a comparable budget
- Use the same dates, airport and number of nights.
- Record the group total, inclusions and any charges still to add.
- Compare the conditions before choosing solely on the lowest price.
- Confirm occupancy and the final operator price before paying.
Observed prices on SOLTRAVA destination pages provide dated context. They do not replace a quote recalculated for a solo traveller or family. A criterion appearing in the form does not guarantee a matching offer.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a single supplement?
There is no universal amount. Request a rate for one adult in your chosen room on your preferred dates.
Is a per-person price the total budget?
No, unless the offer explicitly prices a single traveller. Check occupancy and the total for everyone in your party.
Do children travel free on all-inclusive packages?
Some offers may have specific child conditions. Check the ages, dates and items actually included; do not assume the entire stay is free.
Can a two-adult rate serve as a family quote?
No. A family needs a rate matching its party composition, children’s ages and required rooms.
