Choosing a vacation can be confusing as it seems every hotel offers similar amenities: ceiling fan, coffee maker, mini fridge, ironing board, etc. It can be hard to tell which hotel is better than another, especially since star ratings in the Caribbean can be misleading, and reading through hundreds of customer reviews and comments can be time consuming not to mention frightening when you hear some hotel horror stories. Throw in a couple screaming kids into the mess and you could be living in a nightmare. So starting today I’m going to run a series of blogs that look into some of the best family hotels in the most popular Caribbean destinations. So pack your bags and pick a destination and let us help you in the search of a hotel that will make all the difference on your next vacation.
Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana is the first stop on our list. This hotel is only 20 minutes from the airport making the commute easy on those with young children, but what really sets this place apart from others in Punta Cana is the dedication of the staff. Even in the restaurants the staff are committed to customer service accommodating severe allergies, picky eaters and going that extra mile to make sure you enjoy your stay.
This resort didn’t just make the list for having some seriously awesome staff they also have a great system in place for children and teens. They provide a Kids Club for those ages 3 to 12 that runs all day from 9am to 10pm! So feel free to drop the kids off while you get in some quality rest and relaxation. There’s also a separate pool just for kids and a games room! Teens won’t be left out either, there’s a Teen club for ages 13 to 17 that allows teens to get away from their ‘boring’ parents.
Don’t feel guilty about leaving the kids, go and enjoy yourself as there’s plenty to do! Pamper yourself at the spa, sign up for dance lessons, dabble in some archery, stretch your muscles in a yoga session or test your luck at the casino. There’s also kayaking, snorkeling, windsurfing and more!
This resort really has something for everyone in the family and plenty of things for you to do together. The hotel has plenty of day excursions that will create some unforgettable family memories, including horseback riding. In the evening, enjoy family dinners in any one of their 7 restaurants that range from Japanese and French to Classic American cuisine. Don’t forget to see one of the nightly shows put on by the hotel in the large outdoor theatre or attend a movie night on the beach.
