Family Vacations

Family vacations are always a fun and relaxing time and choosing the right destination and resort to take your family on vacation should be a fun process as well. Choices abound for families and now more than ever all-inclusive resorts are offering special services for those traveling with children and babies. The most popular family vacation spots are Disneyland (of course), Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean and the trick is finding the right all-inclusive family vacation package for your families unique needs and desires.

Family-friendly Resorts

Many resorts offer special activities for kids and child-minding services but now several resorts cater specifically to kids and families with special themed events and activities as well as kid-friendly menu's to please the more 'picky' eaters in your family.

With locations in Mexico and the Caribbean, Beaches™ bills itself as a family all-inclusive resort and promises the 'ultimate family vacation in paradise' with Sesame Street activities. Kids can enjoy a Beaches exclusive Earth's Best Beaches Resorts Family Adventure Promotion, featuring life-size walk-around characters of Cookie Monster, Grover, Zoe, Bert, Ernie, and of course Elmo.

They also offer Ultra-Nannies, Xbox activity centers and just about any activity you can think of to keep your little ones busy - and Mom and Dad happy.

A little more upscale, the Franklyn D Resort Pebbles™ in Jamaica also offers a personal Vacation Nanny™. Available during the day your personal Vacation Nanny takes care of everything while you relax and enjoy your vacation. They are even available for a small charge in the evenings.

The Melia Cozumel™ in the Mayan Riviera of Mexico offers Flintstone® Land and special activities for kids up to 12. Check out the Yabba-Dabba-Doo Bazaar. They also offer babysitting services.

Club Med has special Kids Club and Baby Club Med programs as well as programs for kids up into their tweens and teens - they even offer a variety of unique creative arts programs and special dances and social opportunities for teens. Ideal for keeping your teenagers busy and engaged in healthy, safe activities with other kids their age.

Ask your travelTST.ca travel advisor about the programs and services available at the all-inclusive resort package you are interested in. Not all programs are available at every location so it is good to check with your agent before to avoid disappointment.

Family Vacation Travel Tips: What to bring

Bring your child’s own bottle of high-protection sun cream and after-sun cream as well as lotion or spray against insect bites (especially mosquitoes). Pack a small bag containing: cap, sunhat, sunglasses, beach sandals, sports shoes and socks (important for sports activities) and swimsuits. Make sure all your child’s things are marked, or bring a marking pen. For babies bring an adequate supply of bottles, wipes, diapers, formula and a favorite toy or cuddly.
