By Evelyn Walls


Visiting the Caribbean for a family vacation is definitely a perfect way to create some life long memories. Relaxing and having fun in a slice of paradise with activities and treats for everyone will ensure that everyone gets the most out of the experience. Here is a list of the various kinds of all inclusive family resort Jamaica has to offer.

Beaches is basically the family version of the world-renowned Sandals group. There are two Beaches resorts in Jamaica. Boscobel is located on the island's north coast, about a two-hour-long drive away from Montego Bay. It is located just past Ocho Rios. Meanwhile, Beaches Negril can be found on the island's west coast.

Boscobel boasts several kids' programs for all ages. There is also an infant care service, which parents can take advantage of when they need to relax or enjoy quality time with the other children. Older kids can enjoy the gaming centers on site and the younger children will love taking advantage of Beaches' partnership with Sesame Street. On site, there are activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, novelty pools and golf for all ages.

Negril, like Boscobel, has a partnership with Sesame Street and its characters. At Negril, you can take full advantage of the thousand feet of shore on the seven-mile long beach. Snorkeling and scuba diving are also available here, but with the additional benefit of snorkeling boat trips at a coral reef. At Negril, water slides and river pools provide hours of entertainment for all.

Franklin D is a resort that stands out from others in that it is geared especially towards families. Found on the north coast, this resort is extra special for the added feature of a vacation nanny for every family that checks in. This nanny works from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon, but can be available into the evening for a small hourly fee. She will chaperon the kids to any activities so that parents can also get a little break.

At Franklin D, you can relax in any one of the 76 large suites and boardwalk dining choices. The kids will truly love the magic shows, and there is evening entertainment for adults with fire eaters and dancers. Included in the activity list are glass bottom boat rides, bike rides, windsurfing, tennis and power walks for the adults as well as kayaking.

For a luxury vacation specifically for families, you should consider the Half Moon Resort. The Montego Bay location is perfect at just ten minutes from the airport. If you have children under 12 years old, they will stay free of charge if they are rooming with you. Kids under 12 also get half off all meals.

The superior rooms and private villas at Half Moon offer a range of options for different budgets and needs. The private villas that come with the all-inclusive Platinum Plan include a private pool for guests, a cook and also a butler. Guests in each villa will receive their own golf cart for easier navigation around the location's four hundred acres. There is an Olympic-sized pool with 3 free-form pools, a putting green along with a championship golf courts and several tennis courts to enjoy as well.
