It is ironic and unfortunate that one of the last things people think about when planning a vacation is whether or not the kids will like it. One of the top things people tend to consider is the price and also location. kids are a very important part of the family like any adult and they deserve to have fun just like everybody else.
Traveling with kids can be quite tricky, so we have put together a list of the best tips in selecting a kid-friendly Caribbean vacation place that offers hands on interactive activities that is also not located too far away. If you are looking for one place to offer all that is mentioned above, why not treat your Kids to a Jamaican Family Vacation. Grab your Sunscreen, PSP and tasty Snacks as I take you on a fun filled vacation fit for a kid.
Kid Friendly Hotels for a Vacation in Jamaica
1. Franklyn D. Resort
On the top of the list is Franklyn D. Resort or FDR for short. This place is deemed “kid sanctuary”; it has the right amount of activities to keep your kids completely occupied and even activities for the parents. Located in the exclusive town of Runaway Bay, this “Jamaican owned, boutique styled property features good old fashioned Jamaican hospitality. This is an all-inclusive Resort that features a friendly caring and interactive staff who all love kids and giving quality service. Parents! Kids fewer than 6 years old; eat, stay and play Free. If the hype about the service was not enough this should put you in high spirits. Kids 6- 15 Years are only $30 per night while Teens 16-19 are $80. All Adults are 40% off the original price. Just when you think it could not get better, there is a Nanny included daily (from 9.00 a.m. – 4:40 p.m) This in my opinion is a “fancy – discount “vacation for all those parents looking for a break to relax but travel with the kids and allow them to have a good time. Other activities at FDR include: Daily Arts &Crafts, Computers, and Video Games like Wii, PSP and X-Box. There is also a daily kiddie’s buffet from 5: 30 –7:30 p.m. Also on the Property are Restaurants for diving and Snorkelling at the Oceanside for kids.

2. Bluefields Bay
The second place perfect for a Kid size vacation is Bluefields Bay. You’ve probably heard about this place but not in the capacity for Kids. Bluefields Bay Villas are surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and Bluefields Mountain east of Westmoreland on Jamaica’s South Coast. With the tagline “Comfort, Privacy and Luxury”, it is no secret why this place is in this position of our list. Bluefields Bay is an All Inclusive 6 Luxurious Villas perched on the Caribbean Sea. If you have picky eaters, personal Chefs are available to create specialize dishes like Macaroni & Cheese and Fries (just to name a few) that children love. Nannies are available from day to night which can cater to your child’s needs while you discover the amenities of this luxurious destination.
