Experience old Floridian style in Fort Lauderdale at the charming Pelican Grand Beach Resort.  The sprawling oceanfront property boasts direct access to the white sand beach, full service sun loungers and umbrellas for hotel guests, a relaxed lagoon pool and newly renovated guestrooms ideal for the family traveler. We felt instantly at home in our Seaside Suite complete with two large beds, a separate lounge and private balcony, and stunning views of the Atlantic.  The stylish yet cozy beach cottage vibes mixed with luxury amenities ensured we were comfortable our entire stay.  Our children couldn’t get enough of the resort’s lazy river shaded by sweeping palms or running the few steps to the crystal blue ocean.   The shallow waters at the beach made it inviting for young swimmers and adventurous families can partake in a variety of watersports right in front of the boutique resort.  Grab a gourmet breakfast or romantic dinner at the classic and chic Ocean 2000.  Treat yourself to a tranquil massage at Pure Spa or sit with the family on the breezy terrace while taking in the breathtaking sunset.  A picture perfect choice for a luxurious yet unpretentious beach getaway to remember.

Kimpton Angler’s Hotel, set at the heart of South Beach, is the perfect spot to call your home away from home. The stylish boutique hotel boasts newly renovated rooms, dark and artistic interiors, a welcoming bar, and friendly service throughout your stay.  We loved the city views from both our own private balcony and the refreshing rooftop pool, and spent many tranquil afternoons in their lush and relaxed courtyard swimming pool.  Guests benefit from complimentary bike rental, a daily wine hour, and luxury amenities in every room.  The location is one of the main highlights, only two blocks from the beach and surrounded by amazing restaurants and bars.  If you want to dine in house head Seawell Fish N’ Oyster Bar for fresh seafood and delicious cocktails. The attention to detail and accommodating staff truly made our stay a smooth and comfortable one. Ideal for families or couples looking for modern luxury and personalised service during their time in Miami Beach.

Loews Miami Beach is the ideal choice for an unforgettable family beach vacation.  The modern and luxurious property sits at the heart of the Art Deco district boasting prime oceanfront location, panoramic sweeping views, decadent guestrooms and suites, and a stylish pool deck and jacuzzi suitable for all ages.  Our family loved our oceanfront suite featuring a separate lounge complete with dining area and private balcony.  Service was impeccable throughout the five star hotel and the world class facilities ensured we had everything we needed at our fingertips.  Days were spent lounging in the lively pool where staff served refreshing snowcones and treats for the little ones.  We booked a private cabana at Soak which included poolside and beach sun loungers, an air conditioned suite complete with mini fridge and bathroom, and attentive service all day.  We loved lunching in the privacy of our own space, being only steps from stunning South Beach, and having enough space for the kids to relax and find respite from the sun when necessary.  Every detail is organized at Loews Miami Beach from pool entertainment for children, to child friendly toys, drinks, and menu options to keep them happy and satisfied.  Dining was a huge highlight during our stay including gourmet breakfasts at Preston’s Market and the undeniably fresh seafood at Lure Fishbar. The convenient location meant we had all of Miami Beach to explore from our front step and the knowledgeable concierge were always on hand to suggest age appropriate sights and activities.  From the stunning sunsets and mouthwatering fare to the stylish pool and picture perfect beach we couldn’t have asked for more during our stay.  The ideal choice for families looking for child friendly luxury at the heart of Miami Beach.

Step into a rustic and idyllic paradise, connect with nature, and experience an authentic side of Jamaica at Tingalaya’s Retreat.  Tucked in the West End of Negril, you’re only a short drive to tourist sights but will find hospitality that doesn’t exist at the larger resorts.  Their guestrooms range from romantic bungalows to family houses and all boast natural design perfectly paired with artistic touches.  We loved staying at The Great House which encompass 1500 sq feet to call your home away from home.  Find inspiration in a quiet breezy corner desk or relax after a day of sightseeing in the nostalgic master bedroom.  Children will love having their own area complete with trundle beds and enjoy exploring the sprawling grounds while making friends with the resident dogs.  You’ll be able to sample a true taste of Jamaican fare at breakfast each morning and the friendly staff have plenty of recommendations for nearby local eats when you want to get out and explore.

The saltwater fed swimming pool perched at the edge of the sea is an unforgettable highlight of the boutique property.  Dip into the insurers swimming pool while watching the waves crash around you, laze with a book while enjoying the view, or practice yoga while the melting sun sets in the horizon.

If you’re craving something off the tourist track and want to experience culture and scenery in a beautiful and tranquil property choose Tingalaya’s for you next idyllic stay.

Set in picture perfect Montego Bay, Holiday Inn is the idyllic family getaway you’ve been craving.  The well trusted brand offers sea facing suites, a long list of tropical vacation worthy facilities, and affordable price points suitable for groups and families.  We loved the stunning beach and enticing private island, alongside a reef full of fish and plenty of kids activities for the little ones.  Spend the day lounging by the pool or underneath the swaying palms with a rum infused tropical cocktail while your children partake in a plethora of indoor and outdoor fun led by the engaging Kids Club team.  Delve into different world cuisines or authentic Jamaican fare at the variety of a la carte restaurants or enjoy a juicy and spicy jerk chicken while admiring the pristine crystal clear ocean.  Have a casual evening at the main buffet and revel in the nightly entertainment or have a evening under the stars on your private terrace.  We loved the sprawling, tropical resort ideal for that beach vacation of dreams.  An amazing choice for a Caribbean stay in stunning Jamaica.

Negril was one of our favourite destinations in Jamaica and Riu Palace Tropical Bay allowed our family to have a fun-filled all inclusive experience on one of the most stunning beaches in the region.  Set on a picturesque strip of white sand featuring crystal clear waters, the sprawling resort offers spacious modern guestrooms, delicious restaurants, and activities for all ages.  We spent our days lounging beneath the grass thatched umbrellas, sipping tropical cocktails and snacking on jerk chicken from their authentic jerk hut. The kids loved spending time in Riuland where they participated in indoor and outdoor activities or moving between the refreshing swimming pools and idyllic beach for sand castle building and pool games.  Dining options catered for all tastes with high quality ingredients and a nod to local flavours.  We loved the juicy steaks, Asian inspired a la carte restaurant, and date night at Krystal Gourmet.  Nightly entertainment ranged from live reggae music to magic shows and so much more. If you’re in search of a family friendly, vibrant and lively resort on a stunning Caribbean Beach you can depend on Riu for an amazing experience.  Book Riu Palace Tropical Bay and treat your your family to a taste of Jamaica.

Our first stop in Jamaica was Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa located in stunning Montego Bay.  Featuring newly renovated family suitable suites, a variety of swimming pools, and a postcard worthy white sand beach it’s truly the holiday destination of your dreams.  We loved the tranquil setting, variety of eateries, and impeccable service.  Ever and River were kept busy with the friendly and engaging Kids Club staff who planned an entire schedule which included fish feeding, arts and crafts, and sand castle competitions.  They learned about the local marine life, sampled Jamaican flavours at the Jerk Hut and beach barbecues, and were enthralled by the nightly shows each evening.  The personal butler service for the suites was an amazing addition which ensured any request was fulfilled with just a quick message. One of my favourite features was their world class spa where we indulged in a decadent couple’s massage and relaxed in both their salt therapy room and mineral hydrotherapy pools.  If you’re craving a luxury all inclusive with a chill Jamaican touch check out Jewel Grande Montego Bay for the ideal getaway.
