On the island of Jamaica, “take it easy” is the island mantra, unless you are traveling with energetic kids.  Luckily for parents, there is a vacation destination that lets you replenish your energy rather than absorb it.  At Beaches Family Resorts you’ll find a wide array of unique adventures for the whole family in an impeccable island paradise. 

 

No one is left out at a Beaches Family Resort, and this is the only resort where your young children can vacation with Elmo, Grover, Cookie Monster and more Sesame Street characters. Begin your day by having breakfast with Elmo, or bake cookies with Cookie Monster in the afternoon.  There is a non-stop agenda of Sesame Street-themed activities, click here for a complete listing of events and activities.

 

Face it, there are times when you want to get away with the kids, and times when you want to get away from them.  It is possible to do both!  While you’re off doing your own thing, the kids are off doing theirs.  Read on and see how Beaches Family Resorts keeps the whole family satisfied.

 

Babies get a vacation too.  In air-conditioned nurseries, infants thru 23 months enjoy Nanny care between 9am and 6pm.  With an infant to staff ratio of 3 to 1, no other resorts include such a high level of dedication to child-care.

 

For Toddlers and tykes 2-5, every day is a themed adventure.  Programs include supervised swimming, arts & crafts, snacks & lunch, and everything from musical games and treasure hunts to magic shows and building sand castles.

 

Youngsters 6-7 will find plenty to do from playing kickball and supervised swimming to baseball, arts & crafts, nature walks, dinner, games, movies and beach science.  A kids-only pool with swim-up soda bar and themed water parks are a favorite draw for kids of all ages.

 

Kids 8-12 will enjoy sailing, snorkeling, beach soccer, scavenger hunts, arts & crafts, movies and so much more.  And there is always the XBOX Game Oasis Center that includes unlimited play for kids of all ages.

 

Teens 13 and up get all the excitement they can handle with all the best land and water sports in the Caribbean. Unlimited scuba diving and golf clinics, tennis clinics, karaoke & disco, dance parties are included.  With plenty of special places to play all day and hangout each evening, teens have it their own way. 

 

Parents get a vacation too.  As much as you love being with your family, there are times when you want to get away.  Discover quiet corners where you can stretch out on a hammock with a good book, or your spouse.  If you are looking for a romantic evening, there are supervised evening activities for the kids and baby-sitting too.

 

Voted World’s Best All-Inclusive Resorts For Families for 8 years in a row, Beaches Family Resorts accommodates all kinds and sizes of families, and all ages.
