Family Holidays - Idea #1: Caribbean & Mexico beach resorts

Club Med Punta Cana

Club Med Punta Cana-- great kids' programs!

Loads of ideas for family holidays can be found by exploring "Regions" at this site. If you're planning a family holiday from the UK, below are 10 good starting points (scroll way down).

1. Caribbean & Mexico Resorts
Beach resorts, especially all-inclusives, are a hugely popular family holiday, with watersports, deluxe pools, and myriad activities; waterpark features are a hot new trend.

Some Caribbean Resorts have terrific activities and kids programs, and even nurseries. Mexico has many all-inclusives in Cancun and in the Riviera Maya, just south of Cancun; kids clubs tend to be "friendly little club-house" type. Find out more at:

Some resorts -- such as Almond Beach Village in Barbados-- are frequently sold in packages from the UK; but don't be afraid to venture to other places not so commonly marketed to UK visitors. The Dominican Republic, for ex., has many new AI's and a good price point. (Bargain-seekers might want to put together their own getaway by booking direct with the resort or through a US vacation packager.)
