Planning an all-inclusive family vacation with kids need not be overwhelming as all you have to do is to pick the right resort that will have kid-friendly activities, set a budget and your stress-free holiday is on track.

Know what your family wants: the first step

Consider the kind of vacation your family wants, whether it is relaxing on the beach or experiencing local culture. An all-inclusive package will make this process seamless and convenient for all age groups. Once you have identified what the family wants, you can then narrow down your search and choose a resort vacation that suits your family and budget. Just make shore that there are enough activities that will keep one and all entertained, from kids to grand dads.

Consider a cruise & land vacation package

Since everything about a family vacation should be hassle-free, especially during the preliminary stages, combining your all-inclusive land package with a creative cruise experience will elevate your trip to the next level. Moreover, booking the perfect cruise deal will take the guesswork out of your preferred getaway, whether you are cruising to the idyllic islands of the Caribbean or sailing around the Mediterranean for a journey of a lifetime.

Accommodation: space holds the key

Look for land accommodation that has ample space for the whole brood, and lots of it. Consider rooms with connecting suites or those with separate sleeping quarters to ensure comfort and privacy. For large families, look for all-inclusive resorts that offer suites that are roomy enough, have large balconies and overlook a the pool or a beach perfect for taking a dip barely a stone’s throw away from the room.

Set a budget

Budgeting is a very important aspect to consider when planning a trip, especially if it is an all-inclusive one. Start with how much you plan to spend in total and include a 10% buffer for unexpected costs.

An all-inclusive trip is perfect for budget-minded travelers as most of the major expenses are paid for upfront before the start of the vacation, which includes everything from door-step transfers to drinks and entertainment. Be mindful of the high season, as prices soar during holidays and school breaks.

Food that will keep picky eaters happy

Food plays a huge role in the success of any vacation and all-inclusive resorts take pride in leading the way by providing plenty of dining options to cater to even the most choosy eater. The perfect dining experience should offer variety and convenience to children first by allowing them to select their favorite food item. A 24×7 room service will ensure just that.
