School's out

Half term and summer holidays are often the highlight of your year, the big break that offers you sand, sea and sun and no school runs! Wherever you want to spend your family holidays, we have a huge range of Caribbean hotels to suit every budget.

Keeping the crew smiling: our top family travel tips

  1. Beach time

    Bring beach toys, sun-protection, and something for the kids to do when they tire of sand (snorkel gear, paddleboard, etc).

  2. Adventure & active days

    For younger children, check age/height restrictions and ensure the guide/tour provides safety gear, shaded spots, and rest breaks.

  3. Choose the right room type

    Choose a spacious family room or suite in the Caribbean, giving everyone room to unwind, with options like interconnecting rooms, private balconies, and easy access to the pool or beach for stress-free family living.

  4. Mix adventure with chill time

    From snorkelling with sea turtles to exploring rainforests or visiting local markets, balance your days so there’s something for every age.

  5. Take a refillable water bottle with you

    Let everyone choose their own insulated bottle to keep drinks cool in the Caribbean heat while giving kids a sense of independence and avoiding mix-ups.

  6. Go all-inclusive

    It takes the stress out of meal planning and keeps everyone happy (especially with poolside ice cream on tap).

  7. Pack like a pro

    The key to stress-free family travel? Organisation. Use packing cubes, label everything (yes, even teddy), and keep a “grab bag” with snacks, wipes, entertainment, and spare clothes in your hand luggage. Because you know who always wants a snack at 38,000 feet.

  8. Book smart - and early

    Family holidays are all about the right timing — booking in advance often means snagging the best deals and giving you more time to spread the cost of your trip.
