Jamaica Family Resorts All Inclusive Tips

By Barbara Lee


It can be tough to find a vacation that appeals to every member of the family. While parents may wish some peace and quiet, kids prefer to run around and be entertained every waking hour. Budgeting for restaurants in a new town and catering for the sometimes selective palate of a child also can cause headaches. Travel to Jamaica family resorts all inclusive and these worries will disappear.

Right in the heart of the Caribbean, this beautiful island has so much to offer. There are rain forests, glorious beaches, waterfalls, sugar plantations and a host of water sports to enjoy. The majority of hotels are located on the north side of the island at Ocho Rios, Runaway Bay, Montego Bay and Negril. Each of these areas boasts an excellent selection of hotels offering packages to suit all budgets.

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.

Each of the main tourist areas benefits from the beautiful sandy beaches which allow access to all manner of water sports and activities. There are any number of things to do out of the water as well which should be listed in the hotel's brochure or on their website. Some activities might incur an extra charge so check to see whether the things you like to do are included.

One activity which is likely to be an extra is scuba diving. The Caribbean is a popular destination for divers thanks to the clear water and variety of marine life. If your resort does not offer this and you want to try then contact local dive centers for rates.

Your budget will probably influence which hotel you pick in the resort area you have selected. Obviously facilities and quality of food will vary according to the price of the accommodation, but careful research can unearth bargains at hotels that have all the amenities you could wish for. Internet sites where previous customers describe their experience can be invaluable.

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.
