Jamaica Family Resorts All Inclusive Tips

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.

One of the most popular Caribbean islands, Jamaica has much to offer its visitors. Golden sands, rain forests, historic plantations and a host of sailing, snorkeling and other sports are just some of the adventures to be found here. On the north side of the pretty island there are hotels a-plenty hugging the shoreline from Ocho Rios to Negril through Runaway Bay and the famous Montego Bay.

There is little that can be done to minimize flight time to the island, but consideration should be given to which airport is nearest to where you want to stay. From Kingston to Negril is around 4 hours by coach. Montego Bay, the island's second major airport is much closer and if you are travelling with small children may be the better option to avoid those "are we there yet" moments.

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.

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.

Nearly all properties will have something to keep the children happy; entertainers, kids club, water park and supervised activities. There are even a couple of hotels themed to a favorite kid's television program on the island. There are plenty of options for a perfect vacation in paradise where everyone has a great time.
