Kid Friendly Resorts
Traveling with kids can be a rewarding experience for the whole family, provided you make a few smart choices. We recommend choosing a resort with kid friendly amenities (pools, playgrounds, on-site activities), and a room that is large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably — with kids in their own bedroom and a kitchen to prepare food in the room. Staying at the same resort for at least a week is the ultimate way to minimize transitions and ensure the whole family has time to relax.
