Fun Family Travel Deals

Kids get a free stay at a bunch of resorts in Mexico during summer and fall -- and at an all-inclusive, "Stay Free" also means that meals, drinks, kids club, and activities are free as well.

For starters: Blue Bay Club & Spa, Cancun -- a value-priced resort about five miles north of the Cancun Hotel Zone-- has a "Free Kids” promotion, for travel April 15 to May 27, 2007: two kids (up to the age of 12) stay free in a room with two paying adults. Rates for a Superior Room are $94/person/night and $104 for a Junior Suite (based on double occupancy.)

More "Kids Free" bargains can be found at these two resort families, for travel from September 1 to December 16 2007: two kids age 12 and younger stay for free (and at an all-inclusive, this means they also eat for free and enjoy free activities.) Sample savings for a family of four, $800/week; no book-by deadline; some blackout dates. To find out more, visit sunscaperesorts.com, click through to a resort, and check promotions.

Also at Dreams and Sunscape: from May 1 through June 30, 2007, there's no single supplement, and one child stays free.
