More beach resorts are offering pools with water slides, no-cost children's programs and other amenities that make them attractive, affordable alternatives for families looking for one-stop vacations.
While conducting your own survey of which resort is most family-friendly sounds like a great way to spend the next 3 years, it's just not a possibility for most of us. Something called work and money is probably the biggest obstacle to becoming a full-time traveler. But I digress.
The point is that someone has already done the survey for you. In fact, the lucky bastards went around evaluating more than 200 beach resorts in the U.S. and the Caribbean to come up with the top 10 resorts for family vacations. The criteria - room rates and other costs, quality of children's programs, variety of family activities, pool and beach area and other factors.
The resorts that made top 10 list offer seven-night vacations, May-September, for prices ranging from $129 a night to $500 a night (for an all-inclusive with meals and activities covered), with most falling under $250 nightly.
The resorts are the Sheraton Grand Bahama Island Our Lucaya, Bahamas; Club Med Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; South Seas Island Resort, Captiva Island, Fla.; Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas; Disney's Vero Beach Resort in Florida; Beaches Negril Resort and Spa, Jamaica; Hilton Hawaiian Village, Honolulu, Hawaii; Ocean Edge Resort & Spa, Brewster, Mass.; Loew's Coronado Bay Beach Resort & Spa, San Diego; and Rio Mar Beach Golf Resort Casino & Spa, in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.
So there you have it - your next 10 vacations planned for you! Enjoy!
