Jamaica
Jamaica
loves families.
This breathtaking haven of all-inclusive convenience,
remarkable beauty and good vibrations is our Caribbean
family favorite.
Getting
There:
The great news for families is that direct flights to Jamaica from many
U.S. cities are easy to find.
Staying
There:
In Jamaica, the convenience never ends. From snacks to
snorkeling, dinners to dolphin swimming, beverages to
beach volleyball, all-inclusive Jamaican
family resorts have the whole family covered. In Montego Bay you can
find one of our favorite Caribbean family
resorts: Sunset
Beach Resort & Spa.
Family
Activities:
This resort features an array of beaches and pools
including the awesome Pirates’ Paradise Water
Park, Club Mongoose for kids 2-12 and the Pirates’ Cove Teen Center.
Parents can relax at the sublime Lime Away Spa
sanctuary, or enjoy a frosty cocktail at the swim-up
Sundowner bar. No
matter how you decide to spend your time, every member
of your family will experience Jamaican bliss at
Sunset Beach Resort & Spa.
Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia
is paradise for adventurous families. One of the most lush Caribbean
Islands, Saint Lucia provides ample opportunities to
unleash the adventurer within while still lending her
stunning coastlines to some serious family
beach-bumming. And a number of St.
Lucia family resorts offer fabulous kid-friendly
accommodations.
Getting
There:
A few direct flights to this Caribbean jewel exist.
You will certainly be able to find flights with just
one stop-over, though, and we promise it will be
certainly worth it.
Staying
There: Sprawling along 60-acres of picturesque
coastline, our favorite Saint Lucia resort, Windjammer
Landing
Villa Beach Resort & Spa, keeps every member
of your family in mind. Of the five glimmering pools,
two are pools designed just for the kids.
Family
Activities: Kids have their own fun at Jacquot Fun
Club and the Teen Club while adults can indulge in a
treatment at Serenity Spa or take an underwater
photography class. Zip-lining through the rainforest,
scuba diving through vibrant coral reef formations and
ATV riding along the coastline help you value your
family time together. Everything feels effortless –
family vacations included – on sunny Saint
Lucia.
Dominican Republic
The
Dominican Republic brings history and beauty together
for families. The feel-good island flavor that
we love will capture your imagination while the
uniquely rich history will stimulate your mind.
Santo Domingo, the country’s capital, has been named
a UNESCO World Heritage Site offering a chance to
explore one of the most attractive historic zones in
the Caribbean.
Getting
There: Direct flights to this historical
Caribbean isle originate in Miami and Dallas. Many
other cities offer a single-stop over to the Dominican
Republic, and the experience is well worth the
journey.
Staying
There: One of our favorite places to stay in the
Dominican Republic is the all-inclusive, luxury
resort, Dreams
Palm Beach Punta Cana. Known for its beautiful
beaches and vibrant music scene, Punta Cana provides
the perfect backdrop for this family-friendly resort.
Family
Activities: With the Explorer’s Club for Kids
and the Core Zone Teens Club, your biggest worry may
be pulling the kids away from their new friends and
awesome activities. Together you can dive right into
the action with awesome water sports at the resort.
Or, just bounce around on the giant ocean trampoline.
You can be certain that the whole family will be able
to make their vacation dreams come true at Dreams Palm
Beach Punta Cana.
So Many Islands, So Little Time
The
potential for family fun hardly stops here. A true
paradise, the Caribbean is a treasure chest of natural
beauty, exciting activities and thriving culture –
the perfect recipe for a quintessential family
vacation.
