Those of you reading this brochure who have children will probably have turned to this page first of all!
Whether you plan to travel with young babies, toddlers, youngsters or teenagers, we want to help you choose exactly the right resort to ensure that your children have the best possible holiday – we know only too well that happy children means happy parents!
Summer is a great time to travel to the Caribbean – the value for money is outstanding as this was traditionally the low season plus it's less crowded than many of the Mediterranean resorts. All-Inclusive resorts are an excellent choice with children not least because all food, drinks and watersports are generally included and you are not endlessly signing for every soft drink and snack.
We can pre-assign your airline seats to ensure you are seated together on your flights and will try to secure interconnecting rooms if requested (although please note that the airlines and most hotels will not guarantee these).
All of our hotels which accept children can arrange babysitting and nanny services at an hourly or daily rate - we can either arrange this in advance or you can discuss your requirements with the hotel once you have settled in.
