Jamaica Family Resorts All Inclusive Tips

By Barbara Lee


It can be tough to find a vacation that appeals to every member of the family. While parents may wish some peace and quiet, kids prefer to run around and be entertained every waking hour. Budgeting for restaurants in a new town and catering for the sometimes selective palate of a child also can cause headaches. Travel to Jamaica family resorts all inclusive and these worries will disappear.

Right in the heart of the Caribbean, this beautiful island has so much to offer. There are rain forests, glorious beaches, waterfalls, sugar plantations and a host of water sports to enjoy. The majority of hotels are located on the north side of the island at Ocho Rios, Runaway Bay, Montego Bay and Negril. Each of these areas boasts an excellent selection of hotels offering packages to suit all budgets.

When you are travelling with children, the transfer time from the airport to your chosen hotel can be a deciding factor. Children who are tired and grumpy after a long flight will be even grumpier after a 4 hour coach ride to the resort. There are two main airports which serve the island, Kingston and Montego Bay, so try to book so that you fly into the one nearest your chosen destination.

Each of the main holiday areas has attractions nearby so families wishing to explore the island should be able to find some activities without travelling too far. Should you wish to visit a particular beauty spot such as Dunn's River Falls, then you might want to look at hotels near Ocho Rios rather than Negril. Montego Bay area has the benefit of being central and close to the airport, but there are fewer options for accommodation than the more popular Negril.

All of the main tourist areas are situated on sandy beaches which offer guests an opportunity to try a myriad of water sports. Your hotel's website or brochure should list which are available and which are included in the cost of your stay. There may be some things which are only available at an extra charge.

The Caribbean is a great place to try scuba diving as the water is clear and warm and there is much to see under the waves. This is not normally included in hotel activities so would be an additional cost. You could also contact a local dive center before booking to check prices and availability.

Your budget will probably influence which hotel you pick in the resort area you have selected. Obviously facilities and quality of food will vary according to the price of the accommodation, but careful research can unearth bargains at hotels that have all the amenities you could wish for. Internet sites where previous customers describe their experience can be invaluable.

Many of the hotels have kids clubs, water parks, baby sitting and regular entertainment to keep the young ones busy all day. Some are themed to a popular kids TV show, while others offer free places for kids or boast large family suites. Whatever you are looking for in a superb family vacation can be found on this lovely sun-drenched island.
