Luxury Family Carribean Vacation
In the past, many potential visitors to the Carribean have been
put off from taking their families because of the reputation that
some of the islands have for offering little to do beyond relaxing,
and the fact that places like Barbados and St Lucia are so popular
with couples taking a honeymoon. This need no longer be the case
however, as thanks to many new resort hotels opening across the
region that cater for children as well as adults, it is now possible
to enjoy a luxury family Carribean vacation and still be able to
let the children have some fun too. |

The ultimate family resort in the Carribean has long been Atlantis.
This enormous complex on Paradise Island in the Bahamas has been
popular since it first opened, and thanks to its size and bewildering
range of facilities truly offers something for everyone. Atlantis
in the Bahamas is a place where you really can have a luxury family
Carribean vacation. With pools and activities for kids of all ages
to enjoy, along with casinos, gourmet restaurants, and top quality
entertainment, there is plenty for parents too.
While Sandals may well be an adults only holiday destination, the
company behind them also offer a family brand that is available
in a number of locations across the region. The Beaches resorts
offer the same all inclusive accommodation as the main Sandals hotels
in Jamaica and other destinations, but open up the facilities to
children as well as adults, making them a great place in which to
enjoy your luxury family Carribean vacation together.

Most hotels in the region now offer some kind of children’s
club during peak holiday seasons, although even hotels that do are
not always suitable for younger holidaymakers simply because of
the kind of people who traditionally go to them. While the Sandy
Lane hotel in Barbados may well be one of the top five star hotels
in the world, it can be a bit stuffy for families who want to relax
rather than worry about how their children’s behaviour will
be treated when they are trying to enjoy luxury Carribean family
vacations together.
When choosing your destination for your luxury Carribean family
vacations, destination is not as important as accommodation. For
children, most of the islands will be effectively unexplored, and
all they need to be happy is a swimming pool, beach, and activities
programme to keep them occupied. With this in mind, it is worth
checking out which hotels offer a children’s club that you
can use, and which do not. |

It is also a good idea when booking your luxury Carribean family
vacations exactly how you are going to travel to the region. With
younger children, it is definitely better to choose an airline that
flies direct such as British Airways, although Virgin Atlantic also
has a very good reputation when it comes to looking after children
on long haul flights.
It is possible to stop over in the USA with some of the American
carriers such as Continental, so if you are planning on spending
some time in Florida to let the kids get a taste of Disney on your
five star luxury Carribean family Vacation, this may be an option
that could be interesting to you, and is definitely worth considering,
although you will need to bear in mind that you will also have to
fly via the USA on your way home, and will not be able to visit
Cuba in the Carribean with a US visa in your passport. |
