Jamaican Vacation Resorts: Unparalleled Family Fun

Regardless of your budget, you will not have to worry about finding accommodations in Jamaica.   Jamaican accommodations range from clean, safe guesthouses priced at between $10 and $20 a night to $300 per night resort suites with full maid service.   Of all the Caribbean islands, however, Jamaica is the one on which you are most likely to find all-inclusive resorts.

By booking your reservations at one of the all-inclusive Jamaican vacation resorts, you will not only have a comfortable room, but you will receive all your meals and snacks, airport transfers, drinks, gratuities, the use of all the resort’s facilities, and water sports if it is a beach resort.   If you stay at one of the all inclusive Jamaica vacation resorts, the only money you will need to carry is what you intend to spend while shopping.   You will even be provided with a bus for your shopping expeditions!

The one catch to choosing one of the all inclusive Jamaican vacation resorts is that many of them will not accept children.   So before you book one, find out what its policy on children is.   If you are traveling with your family to Jamaica, do not worry.   Some first class all-inclusive Jamaican vacation resorts accept kids, and we’ve listed just two of them:

The Beaches Boscobel Spa Resort at Ocho Rios has plenty to keep every member of your family busy.   For the adults, there is the fun of a swim-up bar, and the kids will love the free pools and the enormous water slide.   Kids can also enjoy face painting, treasure hunts, arts and crafts classes, as well as the presence of Sesame Street Elmo and the gang.

Your all inclusive Beaches Boscobel vacation will let you try your hand at windsurfing, sail boating, scuba diving, and hydrobiking.   The family can marvel at the Caribbean marine life with a trip on the resort’s glass bottom boat.   The resorts five restaurants are certain to have food to please palates young and old, and do not forget that the cost of your meals is included!

Your all-inclusive Beaches Boscobel stay will entitle you to play to your heart’s content at the nearby Sandals Golf and Country Club, widely regarded as one of the best in the Caribbean.   Even the kids are welcome, as long as the little ones under 10 tee off after noon.   Your greens fees and transportation to the golf course are included, but you will have to pay for the mandatory caddy.  

The Beaches Negril Resort and Spa is another of Jamaica’s outstanding family-friendly vacation resorts.   Located on 20 acres along the widest stretch of Negril’s famous Seven Mile Beach, the Beaches Negril Resort has accommodations to suit everyone from solo travelers to families with toddlers.   All its rooms or villas have patios or balconies with ocean or garden views.

The family will be enchanted with Beaches Negril Resort‘s Pirates Island, with its own river, to dizzying water slides, a pool bar, and a snack and soda bar to keep both parents and kids relaxed and refreshed.    The self-serve ice cream machine may be the hit of your family’s entire Jamaican resort vacation!

Beaches Negril  has its own tennis court, open-air fitness center, and Xbox 360 Game Garage, and five world-class restaurants offering cuisine from Tex-Mex to Japanese to the International buffet where the kids can munch on fish fingers, to the Café Carnival with its fresh made-to-order pizzas.   Snacks and drinks are available around the clock.
