Caribbean Family Resorts

By Quinn Harris


The Caribbean has become a well known standard for family vacations. This is place for fun and frolic, and resorts have a wealth of different features for adults and children alike. Here are some of the essential components of most family packages:

Deluxe swimming pools with water slides Water sports and the beach Family activities and programs designed for children of all ages. Drinks on tap and convenient meal times Pampering services for adults such as dining, cocktail parties and spas to name a few Special discount rates for families. Services such as babysitting

There are so many Caribbean all inclusive family travel resorts available today and considering you are spending your hard earned money and you are taking your whole family you want to choose the best one that fits your needs.

When a package advertises as all inclusive, it doesn't necessarily mean everything. You do get snacks and meals, kid's programs and drinks, some water sports among other things but not everything. Take note of these quick points:

Water sports like kayaks, wind surfing and aquatrikes are included but things like water skis and jet skis and anything else that is motorized can cost extra.

You can usually do some snorkeling but there may be a time limit to the gear and if you desire to sign up for a boat trip you may have to pay for it.

Scuba is usually considered an extra amenity.

Unless you have booked yourself a special Caribbean travel deal of sorts, spas would cost extra.

There may be deals that are not all inclusive but nonetheless have meals and activities included.

If you travel out of the resort you will cost you but usually there is a shuttle or a town within walking distance.

For the Kids

All inclusive family packages generally include one or two rooms that have everything for a child four to twelve years old -- toys, video games and of course, the telly. A friendly experienced staff is on hand to supervise them. Different packages have different programs for children based on their age group. Some of the best Caribbean family travel specials available are available in the Bahamas' Atlantis, in Punta Cana's Club Med and in several other Beach Resorts.

Babies and Toddlers

It is easier to find infant care and nurseries on many Caribbean travel resorts these days. As a parent, you want to have enough time for yourself and your partner, so it would be a boon to have these services available for the newest additions to the family.

For those concerned about health and safety issues, many large travel resorts have doctors and nurses on call in case of emergencies. Parents will definitely be best advised to make multiple inquiries before the trip so that they can be sure their children are well taken care of through the specialized kid's or baby clubs.
