Jamaica Family Resorts All Inclusive Advice

By Barbara Lee


Finding a vacation that keeps every member of the family happy can be quite tricky. Mum and Dad might want to relax, but kids like to be entertained and burn off some energy. Food can also be problematic if the kids are fussy eaters and budgeting for meals can be a nightmare without knowing local prices. In Jamaica family resorts all inclusive packages can be found which can solve all these problems.

This pretty island in the Caribbean offers a wide range of activities, sight-seeing and beauty spots. The coast boasts glorious sandy beaches where you can enjoy any number of water sports, while inland there are old sugar plantations to explore and rain forests filled with exotic flora and fauna. The main tourist hot spots are in the north; Montego Bay, Runaway Bay, Negril and Ocho Rios are the most popular and feature a superb choice of hotels to suit every need.

Children may be excited about a vacation, but after hours of flying, the prospect of a longer boring coach trip can turn them into grumpy tired travelers. Careful planning can minimize the transfer time to resort as you can match your airport to your final destination. Most flights either land at Montego Bay in the north or the capital Kingston.

Wherever you choose to visit, there are many sites and activities on hand should you wish to explore outside your complex. A particular favorite with visitors is Dunn's River Falls which is located close to Ocho Rios. Centrally located Montego Bay is ideal a base to explore from having the added benefit of being close by the airport, however there are fewer all inclusive options in this area than for example Negril.

Whichever area you choose, the beaches are long, sandy and offer opportunities for all manner of water based activities. Hotels will often offer some of these as part of your package. Their website should have a list of facilities on-site and a note of what is included.

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.

Once you have determined which area to stay, the choice of resort will often depend on the budget available. Quality and facilities will vary according to price, but with a little research on the internet you should be able to find something to suit your needs and pocket. Sites that offer reviews from previous travelers are very helpful in this respect.

The majority of properties will have baby sitting services, regular nightly entertainment, kids clubs and even a water park. There are even hotels where the children's entertainment is based on a well known TV show. Some hotels have offers for families such as upgrades to suites of free places for a 3rd child so you are bound to find a great deal on this glorious island paradise.
