Family Vacation Destinations

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Planning a family beach vacation? Looking for destinations with family resorts that have fun sports and activities for the whole family, all inclusive resorts where meals are included and kid clubs? Here are some of the most popular beach destinations for families to unwind and relax:

Mexico

Mexico, especially the Cancun area, and Mayan Riviera, an hour’s drive south of Cancun, is a popular place for family beach vacations. The Mayan Riviera is one of the regions of Mexico – and the world- which offers the richest variety of landscapes and archaeological treasures including Mayan ruins, coral reef, snorkelling lagoons, and eco-theme parks such as Xcaret. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, and attractions throughout Mexico welcome families with open arms.

Jamaica

Jamaica is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all the Caribbean Islands and is one of the top family-vacation destinations in the Caribbean. Many of Jamaica’s resorts offer supervised children’s activities, babysitters, family discounts, and kid’s meals. Jamaica has an abundance of top all-inclusive chains including: Sandals Beaches, SuperClubs Breezes resorts and Club Med. There are also many other family vacation options such as the Franklyn D. Resort in Runaway Bay, Jamaica, where families have their own vacation nanny during their stay.

Turks and Caicos

On a 12-mile stretch of satiny white-sand, Beaches Turks & Caicos is one of the premier family resorts on the island.With separate programs for infants, toddlers and teens, each is designed to give each age the activities they love. So when you’re off doing your thing, they’re off doing theirs. There are many other resorts to stay at this idyllic family beach destination

Bahamas

Home to the Atlantis Bahamas resort and many other excellent family resorts, there will not be a dull moment on your Bahamas family vacation. Blessed with the perfect location-less than 100 miles off the coast of Florida, the perfect climate- averaging a little over 75 degrees, and the perfect surroundings-crystal clear turquoise blue waters and pearly white beaches, the Islands of the Bahamas is the perfect destination for your next family beach vacation.

Hawaii

A Family Hawaii Vacation has it all. Beautiful beaches, world-class golf, surfing, shopping, swimming, top notch hotels, condominiums, eco tours, national parks, warm weather, and cool ocean breezes. The four islands that are popular for a family Hawaii Vacation are Oahu, Maui, the Big Island and Kauai.

Florida

Florida is a popular family beach destination because the climate is warm year round, it is easy to get to, it offers good value for your money, there are endless options for sightseeing and attractions for you family depending on what area you are in, and the beaches in Florida are numerous. In addition to beach destinations and of course Walt Disney World, there are tons of other family outings including Universal Studios, Sea World, Bush Gardens and many more.

Don’t Forget Family Cruises

This is a very popular family vacation option and my personal favorite. Cruises with kids offer great value, choice and freedom! There are a lot of misconceptions about cruising such as it is only for older people and not suited for families, it is too rigid, there is nothing to do, you’ll feel trapped, you’ll get seasick, it’s too expensive! All is these statements are false and could not be further from the truth. Bring your kids along on almost any cruise and they’ll have the time of their lives.

Although Kailua Kona rentals are preferred by most tourists, you may be wondering what is so great about them. If so, you are defiantly not alone. When booking a vacation, it is important that you know exactly where your money is going and how well it is being spent. That is why you may be wondering exactly why you should book a stay at a Kailua Kona rental. One of the many reasons why you should choose to book a stay at a Kailua Kona rental is because of all of the benefits to doing so.

Perhaps, the greatest benefit to booking your next vacation at a Kailua Kona rental is the feel and the reminder of home. The home-like feel, often associated with Kailua Kona rentals is due to the fact that these rentals include vacation homes, vacation condos, and vacation villas. Almost all vacation homes, condos, and villas come fully furnished and they house multiple rooms. These rooms, which typically include bathrooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms, may resemble your own home. There are many individuals who feel comforted by being reminded of their home while on vacation.

In addition to the home-like feel, you can also benefit by booking a stay at a Kailua Kona rental because of what may be offered to you. As previously mentioned, almost all Kailua Kona rentals come equipped with fully furnished rooms, but you may also find extras services and facilities. Depending on where you stay, these extra services may include the beach right at your doorstep, a swimming pool, hot tub, private parking, and an onsite fitness center or room. Since all of these extra services and facilities are optional, although they are quite common, you may want to think about customizing your Kailua Kona rental search, just incase.

As previously mentioned, with many Kailua Kona rentals the beach is right at your doorstep. This is because a large number of Kailua Kona rentals are also considered beachfront or oceanfront rentals. Whether you are looking to take a romantic getaway or enjoy a beach vacation, you can benefit from booking a stay at a Kailua Kona beach rental. In many cases, you will find that you are given twenty-four hour access to the beach that is right in front of your rental or near it. Depending on the condition of the weather and the water, this could mean surfing, swimming, fishing, and scuba diving just about whenever you want to!

Another reason why you should want to book a stay at a Kailua Kona rental is because they are relatively easy to afford. In fact, having a choice, as with a vacation rental, vacation condo, or vacation villa, gives you many ways to find a Kailua Kona rental that is within your budget, if you are vacationing on a budget. When examining the costs of a Kailua Kona rental, you will find that the size of the rental, as well as it its location has an impact on the cost of reservations. In most cases, you will find that large rentals, as well as beach rentals cost more money than smaller, inland rentals.
