Families love Caribbean vacations, mainly for the beach resorts which typically offer watersports, extravagant pools, family activities, kids clubs, evening entertainment, fine dining, spa, and --often-- all-inclusive pricing.

2. Vacation Home Rentals
Another way to have a Caribbean beach getaway is to rent a villa or condo, complete with kitchen, laundry, and other conveniences. Often, in the Caribbean, your rental will include maid services.3. Caribbean Islands

Every island has its unique flavor, and hopefully, you'll get out and explore during your Caribbean vacation. Some islands have colonial towns (-- like Willemstad in Curacao, left, a World Heritage Site) or other sightseeing; some islands are known for beautiful tropical underseas. If you're staying in a resort, it's easy to arrange for tours, scuba, snorkeling trips, etc. On some islands, it's practical to rent a car and explore on your own.
4. Which Caribbean islands have all inclusive resorts?
All inclusive resorts are extremely popular with families, and your choice of island may be affected, or even determined, by whether or not the island has this type of getaway.
