Do want to go plan a family Vacation but don’t know where to go! (Tips from a seasoned travel parent) Part 2

This is part 2 of my Vacation Advice and will focus on a few of the better family all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico.   All-inclusive vacations are great choices when going away with families and multi-generational groups.   They offer a great way to both relax and have a great time while on vacation. When planning an all-inclusive you have to keep in mind that all the costs are include in the resort costs, that meal, drinks and most entertainment.  What I look for when planning a family vacation is a great pool, good restaurants and other entertainment for the family.

Beaches has 3 family resorts, Turks and Caicos, Negril and Ocho Rios.   The resort at Turks and Caicos is by far the most exclusive resort but has the most to offer.

·       22 specialty dining options with everything from Caribbean to Japanese, Italian to French, Seafood to Sushi

·        A Pirates Island themed aqua-playground and water parks featuring nine slides, lazy river, surf simulator, water cannons, cranks and spray features.

·        Elmo and friends in our Caribbean Adventure with Sesame Street®

·        An X-BOX® Play Lounge with plasma screens and the latest games on the market

At their Ocho Rios Resort kids can tee off after 12 with complimentary Golf and at the Negril resort they have a Kids Kamp & Nursery with wide range of supervised activities and an Interactive Teens Program with “Trench Town” Teen’s Center and Teens’ Coordinator to coordinate teen activities.

Live like a rock star family.   The Hard Rock Hotels have 4 All Inclusive family resorts Cancun, Rivera Maya, Vallarta and Punta Cana DR.   

The Hard Rock have come a long way to draw the family vacationers. Each resort features great pools with lazy rivers, beach access, multiple restaurants and lots of music.  

They now have the “Little Big Club” featuring Hello Kitty, Thomas the Tank Engine, Barney Bob the Builder.   At these club the little ones can spend supervised time with their favorite characters.  

The Hard Rock is offering many amenities to families including, child sized robes and slippers for younger kids, baby sitting services starting at six months,
