Family vacations are a great way to spend time with loved ones while creating lifelong memories. However, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it can be hard to carve out time together between conflicting schedules and after-school activities.
Why not escape the cold this winter and head south with your family to bask in some much-needed sunshine? With direct flights, seamless airport transfers, and luxurious all-inclusive resorts available, you can feel relaxed knowing that every detail is taken care of. Many family-friendly resorts go the extra mile to make your vacation nothing short of extraordinary.
Not sure how to choose the right resort for your family? Here are a few things to consider:
1. Transportation
Planning transportation can make your family vacation smoother.
Check What is Included: Confirm if your package includes airport shuttles or hotel transfers.
Private Transfers: For comfort and convenience, book a private transfer with your Fareconnect agent.
Child Seats: Ask if child seats are available for safety.
Local Public Transportation: Research taxis, buses, or shuttles, or get advice from your agent.
A little planning goes a long way for hassle-free travel!
2. Accommodations
When traveling with kids, you’ll want to make sure there is space for everyone. Many resorts will offer connecting rooms for added space, or if you’re lucky, family suites with bunk beds and shared living areas. Rest assured you’ll find a suitable option to meet your preferences.
3. Kid-friendly activities
Keeping the kids entertained is key to finding some time to relax! Pools, games, sports, crafts – you name it, these resorts will offer it. Many resorts provide pools that accommodate younger travelers with shallow areas and splash parks designed with safety in mind. Furthermore, you may find a kids’ club, where your little ones can enjoy supervised fun while you recharge.
4. Dining for every taste
Food can be a big factor when traveling with children, and it’s important to consider what dining options are available. All-inclusive resorts typically offer an array of buffet choices, ensuring there’s something to please even the pickiest eaters. If you prefer a different arrangement, some resorts offer breakfast-only packages, giving you the flexibility to explore local dining spots.
Finally, don’t forget about yourself! While it’s hard not to default as to what is best for your children, keep in mind this is a vacation for you too. Find a resort that fits your preferences, if that is an adult-only pool, fine dining, a spa, and more.
