caribbean with kids
 
Looking for a place with great beaches, food and service where the kids (ages 3 and 6) can have fun too---considering Half Moon in Jamaica---anyone know any packagers????Also considering BVI---seems that Peter Island is now more open to kids----any comments???<BR>Thanks

You might also consider......<BR><BR>Caneel Bay... St. John<BR>Little Dix Bay.....Virgin Gorda<BR>Four Seasons......Nevis<BR><BR>Half Moon is wonderful however I was a bit disappointed in the Kids program for our 7 yr old last year. Basically you drop them off and they entertain them in a somewhat dull "kids cottage"<BR><BR>I prefer to have my child do things.<BR>(beach hunts, hikes, shelling, and things like that) none of which they did last year. Having said that,<BR>Halfmoon is like a fabulous village unto itself. Complete with bike rides, croquet, horses, and great pools.<BR><BR>We'd go back......but not for the kids<BR> program.<BR><BR>

A great place for kids is the Hyatt Cerromar in Dorado, PR. One of the best river pools in the Caribbean and a nice beach as well with relativeliy calm waters. It is considered a family resort so there are lots of kids and they do have a day camp. WE took our 4 year old grand daughter and she spent hours in the pool. She is ready to go back.
