Taking a trip to a Caribbean resort could not be more heavenly. A holiday in the sun is best enjoyed when people are able to get as far away as they can where they can trust the sea is guaranteed deep blue, the weather is continually warm and the sun shines out bright every day. Certain areas are more suited for family trips rather than for adult holidays. Many can mistake coming to the Caribbean resort a place for partying, similarly families may think that this is a safe holiday for children in particular.
This could not be further from the truth, because in order for you to get this holiday right one must complete a certain amount of research. This is not to say that the Caribbean only permits a certain age group into their beaches or islands; however as a parent considering taking their children to the Caribbean resort they may feel uncomfortable taking them to certain beaches that may have a large number of partying adults. Likewise certain groups of people may feel uncomfortable partying in front of young children!
One hotel in particular known as Carlisle Bay (Antigua) was opened specifically to attract party-going adults. However recent enlightenment has seen a growing number of parents with their young children to the beach, seeing as the Bay opened a kids club. As many people know, lying on a beach is not enough for many kids as they need to let out their energy and excitement into doing something active. This can often be something of a stress for some parents especially if they are looking to spend some time out relaxing. The kids club usually provides young children the opportunity to try out various activities and enjoy their holiday more by being a little free from their parents.
This was originally opened as one of the hippest hotels in the Caribbean, attracting many tourists and drawing the attention from its reputation for adding luxury to the quite south coast of Antigua. From the outside the building resembles a neat modernist design, from the inside the hotel is delicately designed with a minimalist approach. This is possibly the best place to stay if people are looking for both an adult and family based holiday, due to its location and style.
The Caribbean does not only offer holidays that need a fancy hotel to make the beaches interesting. The Caribbean resort offers inclusive holidays such as Sandals, which is tailored to be more convenient for parents but also provide bar entertainment for adults. Aside from offer kids clubs, they also cater for themed entertainment in the form of Sesame street characters, which many children will be familiar with.
The bars and restaurants often come with live music and dancing, however, this may not be what the party-goers are looking for. However, this is also not a holiday for people travelling on a budget, as all inclusive holidays come with a price because they offer so much more on the holiday. These can often include flight tickets and hotel accommodation, which is why families considering all inclusive packages will need to look into how far they can make their money stretch.
Family Friendly Caribbean Resorts
The first step is finding room for the stuff. Kids come with a lot of gear, from the time they’re babies until they’re out the door and into their own place. In the meantime, you have to find ways to accommodate everything from strollers and building blocks to hockey sticks and Barbie collections. When there’s a place for everything, there’s a better chance that the stuff will get put away. Don’t waste closet space. Add a shelving unit and storage bins, and put up hooks on the back of the closet door wherever possible. The small dresser that served your young child can be put into the closet at a later age.
Children’s beds often come with storage compartments underneath, and nightstands can have either drawers or shelves. When children share a room, bunk beds and sleeping lofts are obvious choices for saving space. Teenagers, especially those 6-footers, may very well need a full size bed rather than the standard twin. Again, think storage space underneath or headboards that incorporate storage space.
Even if your school-age child has a computer desk, he or she may still not have enough room for spreading out books and binders at homework time. Consider a large desk if there’s room, or maintain an open policy about using the kitchen or dining room table for homework. But remember that a young child’s feet should touch the floor to prevent restlessness, so if the dining room chair is too tall, use a box or stool under their feet.
Toys and sports equipment can be kept under control by using storage chests, large plastic cubes, or shelving units with bins. Hall trees often come with a storage bench, and are a great solution for coats and boots and skates.
Save yourself a lot of trouble by painting children’s rooms rather than using wallpaper. Children quickly grow out of cute prints, and new paint is a simple solution for changing tastes.
Keep living room and family room furniture looking good by choosing fabrics with a high thread count and tight weave that clean easily and hold up to hard use. Flat weaves are better than textured fabrics for durability. The new microfibers are a good choice for surviving kids and pets, and nothing is easier than slipcovers that can be removed and washed. By the way, sectional sofas are very versatile, able to adapt to any room and comfortable for everyone in the family. Add a set of nesting tables that can be handily moved from room to room for games and projects.
Don’t trip over the stuff of family life. There’s a way to make everyone happy . . . especially Mom.
