    Custody & Power of Attorney

    Here’s how to plan a relaxing holiday with the grandparents. When grandparents go on holiday with their grandchildren, it’s important to clarify in advance who is authorised to make which decisions. In certain situations, it’s essential to have discussed this legal aspect beforehand. By keeping this in mind, you can set off on your holiday with greater peace of mind.

    • When grandparents holiday with their grandchildren at our hotels, they do not need a power of attorney for specific activities. However, it is advisable for grandparents to have a written power of attorney drawn up. This gives grandparents the right to make decisions on behalf of their grandchildren, particularly in medical and legal matters. The power of attorney enables grandparents to take responsibility and ensure that the children can be properly cared for in the event of an emergency.

    • Grandparents can sit back and relax when holidaying with their grandchildren at AHORN Hotels & Resorts, as everything they need is already provided. From cots to pushchairs – you’ll find facilities perfectly tailored to the needs of our youngest guests. All you need to bring as grandparents is your knowledge of your grandchildren’s preferences and their medical details. This allows you to let us know if there are any allergies or intolerances so we can respond accordingly. Items that must not be missing from your grandchildren’s packing list include personal medication, a copy of their vaccination record, their health insurance card and a letter of authorisation. And then you can all enjoy a safe and carefree stay with us together! To make your preparations easier, we have created a packing list for you, which you can easily download here.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Holidays with the grandparents

    At what age can grandparents travel with their grandchildren without any problems? As a general rule, a short weekend trip with Grandma and Grandad is perfectly feasible from around the age of three, whilst many children aged six and above can already spend a whole week on holiday with their grandparents. However, the ideal age for a holiday with grandparents varies from child to child and depends on various factors. Some children form a close bond with their grandparents at an early age and cope well without their parents, whilst others do not feel comfortable travelling without their parents. Ultimately, every decision must be made on a case-by-case basis and depends on the child in question.

    • The flexibility in planning means you can take spontaneous breaks whenever the children get tired or need a rest. Ultimately, it’s important to organise the short break so that it’s relaxing and enjoyable for all members of the family. Our holiday packages for grandparents include half-board, which gives you greater flexibility. You are free to organise your days together as you wish, choosing the best time for lunch for your grandchildren, and in the evenings you can enjoy a varied buffet that is sure to have something to suit every taste.

    • Our AHORN Hotels & Resorts offer a varied, weather-independent leisure programme that delights grandparents and grandchildren alike. For example, join our Active Team and your grandchildren to create wonderful wooden figures and delicious ice-cream sundaes. Our activities are chosen so that children can enjoy them together with their grandparents. We do not provide childcare services exclusively for children. Depending on the hotel you choose, the little ones can let off steam in the indoor and/or outdoor pool, in the YOKI AHORN Children’s World with a ball pit, table tennis and much more, or at the outdoor playground. The particularly beautiful location of our hotels also invites you to enjoy sporting activities in the great outdoors. Naturally, excursions to exciting places such as natural swimming spots, a marine aquarium, a toy museum or thermal baths are especially popular with children. Every location has something very special in store for you and your grandchildren!

    • You can easily reach our Ahorn Hotels & Resorts by train. Our hotel staff will be happy to advise you on the best way to get from the station to our hotel, so that you and your grandchildren can arrive safely and stress-free, with all your luggage.

    • We offer special discounts for children on our packages. Young guests aged 5 and under stay free of charge outside school holidays, whilst children aged 6–12 receive up to a 50 per cent discount when sharing a double room with two adults. We’d be happy to advise you on the best deal in your favourite holiday region!

    • Grandparents who travel with their grandchildren naturally take on an important responsibility for the children’s well-being during the holiday. Their legal obligations include a duty of care and ensuring the child’s welfare. This also involves keeping in regular contact with the parents, as this ensures that everyone is kept informed about how the holiday is going and feels at ease.
