Where To Take Your Family In The Caribbean

When the time comes to take the family on vacation, choose one of these Caribbean resorts sure to please everyone.

Ocean Club and West Ocean Club

Ocean Club Resorts in Providenciales, the Caribbean, offers two family-friendly resort options: Ocean Club and Ocean Club West. That means you may enjoy a wide variety of water sports and use the pools, tennis courts, and dining options at either property.

Family-friendly accommodations may be easily identified by the presence of items found on a baby packing list, such as beach toys, strollers, cribs, high chairs, baby monitors, and a movie library.

A kid-friendly exploration game that teaches them about the local flora and fauna may be found in the resort's educational SAFARI program, which is explained to them during check-in.

Grace Bay Beach is widely regarded as one of the greatest in the world, so while the kids aren't out digging for gold, you can all relax together there. Snorkelling the shallow reefs or scuba diving with hawksbill turtles and eagle rays are two water sports available here.

Half Moon

When you stay at Half Moon in Montego Bay, you and your family will feel like royalty on the resort's two miles of private beach. Half Cay is not an all-inclusive resort, but its all-inclusive dining plan and other amenities should be on anyone's post-pandemic travel itinerary.

Young people can compete with one another in sandcastle-building contests, learn the game of golf, ride a horse or pony down the beach, or kick back and enjoy some s'mores.

The resort has three pools and a natural swimming cove where you may spend the remainder of your time. You may leave your cares behind in the comfort of your private villa, complete with a chef and butler service.

Elegant Hotels' Turtle Beach

The people of Barbados are laid-back, the atmosphere is cultured and upscale, and the island is a warm and friendly place to visit. Beaches being great is old news; the island and its Caribbean family resorts have much more to offer than just great beaches.

The children of guests at Turtle Beach by Elegant Hotels, one of the best family-friendly all-inclusive resorts in Barbados, are allowed to become "honorary Bajans" by participating in a program in which they learn the language, prepare traditional dishes, and otherwise immerse themselves in island culture.

When they return home, they may brag to their friends and family about their "Bajan passport," a souvenir pin and certificate. Adults may enjoy beach cricket, calypso dancing classes, and domino challenges while the kids play.
