All Inclusive Family Vacation

Special Considerations When Seeking an All Inclusive Family Vacation

When choosing an all inclusive family vacation, there are special perks to take into consideration. For example, most packages provide nannies, babysitting, or other forms of supervised daycare. If traveling with young children, this addition to an all inclusive family vacation package can be particularly important. For those traveling with both very young children and pre-teens or teenagers, a daycare or babysitting service provides parents with an excellent way to spend special time with the older children while the younger children are cared for.

At the same time, the older children often want to have their own alone time, as well. In this case, an all inclusive family vacation package including special activities targeted toward this age group may be ideal. For example, many packages include teen clubs and teen discos where teenagers can spend time with one another in a safe and supervised environment.

Some all inclusive family vacation resorts also have adult-only restaurants as well as separate children-only and adult-only pools. These areas allow adults to spend some well-deserved time away from the children and become engaged in adult activities. In addition, some resorts allow children to stay free with a paying adult.

Popular Destinations for an All Inclusive Family Vacation

There are many popular resort destinations including all inclusive family vacation packages. Florida’s Disney World is one such destination. Other popular destinations include: Cancun, Mayan Riviera, Puerto Vallarta, Cozumel, and Los Cabos in Mexico. Popular destinations in the Caribbean include Aruba, Curacao, Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Jamaica, St. Lucia, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Each of these vacation destinations offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

Activities for the Children

All inclusive family vacation packages aim to please both the adults and the children. After all, this type of vacation is meant to be a dream come true for every member of the family. The activities that are included in many all inclusive family vacation packages seem unlimited. For example, most of these packages include some sort of entertainment by popular children’s cartoon characters. With Disney packages, the children will have the opportunity to spend some quality time with their favorite Disney characters. Other packages include fun with characters from popular shows such as Sesame Street or characters from Nickelodeon. These special character interactions may include things such as story time, dancing, character meals, and baking.

Other common activities for children include water parks, disco rooms, movies, and specially equipped rooms for video-gamers. Most resorts also include craft sessions and organized sports outings, such as golf, soccer, beach volleyball and baseball. They also might include time on the beaches to play in the sand, go swimming, and participate in scavenger hunts. Rides in glass-bottomed boats and snorkeling are favorites at some all inclusive family vacation resorts.

Activities for Adults

Going on vacation with the family and spending time together is enjoyable and memorable. At the same time, it is important for the parents to have time alone together and be able to enjoy “adult” entertainment. For this reason, all inclusive family vacation packages include a variety of activities for the adults to engage in while the children are off having fun.

Entertainment typically offered to adults includes spa treatment facilities, scuba diving opportunities, golfing adventures, and fine dining. Wind surfing, water skiing, and sailing are also often included in these packages. Entertainment such as live bands and musicals are also available for adults (most packages also include live performances geared toward the entire family, as well).
