Jamaica Family Vacation

Jamaica is truly ideal for families and couples looking for a relaxing vacation that can relieve them of the stress by work or school. If you are already planning to go here, make sure to read the useful tips that you will find in the succeeding paragraphs.

When visiting Jamaica with your kids, it is advisable to book Jamaica family vacation packages that take care of a lot of things, in order to keep the children happy and give you an easier time.

Places closest to Montego Bay

You'll be entering Jamaica through the international airport in Montego Bay. You won't have to go very far to find a couple of family-friendly places.

Just 15 minutes from the airport, there's Rose Hall Resort and Country Club offering all-inclusive family vacation packages with meals.

A kids club will also provide different activity options for children, grouped into ages 4-8 and 9-12. And aside from the 1000-foot beach strip, your whole family will also have unlimited fun on the 110,000 sq. ft. private water park, featuring a 'lazy river,' water-slides, and—always a big hit with kids—a swim-up bar.

If you decide to stay in this resort, make sure to visit the historic Rose Hall Great House, where a witch is said to have lived.

Also a 15-minute drive from Montego Bay is the Sunset Beach Resort and Spa, another recommended place for a Jamaica family vacation. The highlight of Sunset Beach is its Pirate's Paradise Water Park that occupies more than an acre and includes a pirate ship feature with a swimming pool for smaller kids. Beside the water park are childrens club facilities for different age groups and a teens' gaming center where older kids can hang out while you shop for souvenirs in nearby Montego Bay.

Jamaican Resorts Specializing in Family Leisure

Among the top family resorts in Jamaica are the Beaches Resorts in Negril and Boscobel. Beaches specializes in all-inclusive Jamaica family vacation deals, and even have special promo seasons for single parents.

Each has its own water park, and kids' facilities for different age groups including infants. In addition to Xbox and other games, activities include crafts, nature walks, and water sports. Meals are served buffet-style, with a special selection for children.

Also, your teenager will particularly enjoy the pizza and soda bars, and an evening hangout with karaoke. Beaches Negril is about an hour's drive from Montego Bay, while it will take you 2 hours to get to Beaches Boscobel. Plane transfers can also be arranged with the resorts.

Another pair of sister-resorts specializing in Jamaica family vacation is the Franklin D. Resort and the FDR Pebbles.

The unique thing about the FDR resorts is that they provide 'vacation nannies,' giving parents plenty of alone time and the opportunity to really relax. A nanny is available from 9:00 a.m. to 4 p.m., and can extend her duty in the evening at an extra hourly rate.

A lot of activities for children and adults are available in both resorts, but Pebbles exclusively offers campouts on the Martha Brae River.

Franklin D. Resort, on the other hand, boasts of large suites fashioned after luxurious Jamaican homes—an extra cozy lodging option for your Jamaica family vacation. Franklin D. Resort and FDR Pebbles are 45 miles and 25 miles from Montego Bay airport, respectively.
