Wondering whether Jamaica is good for holidays with kids? The answer is yes – and we’ve got 6 great reasons why…
1.. The beaches are super-roomy
As the name suggests, Negril’s Seven Mile Beach really does have a whopping seven miles of sand. That means there’s plenty of the stuff to go around, and lots of space for little ones to spread their wings.
2. The hotels are All Inclusive
All First Choice hotels in Jamaica are All Inclusive, which means you can expect buffet spreads that cater to all tastes, not to mention things like drinks and ice-creams on tap. That way, you won’t be worrying about your wallet while you’re away, as it’s all taken care of.
3. The sun is always shining
Jamaica gets sunshine all year round – the coolest temperature you’ll find is about 26 degrees in February, which is great if your children aren’t in school yet and you can travel in term time.
4. The sea is like a Disney movie
Wade out into the water here and you’ll think you’re in a scene from Finding Dory. The underwater creatures come in all shapes and sizes, and tick off all the colours of the rainbow.
5. The activities are great for teens
There’s loads on offer in the way of activities if you’ve got older children and teenagers. Snorkel out in the water, head off on a glass-bottomed boat, or set off on an excursion into the mountains – Dunn’s River Falls is one of the top attractions here. If your kids are a bit younger, stay somewhere like the Hilton Rose Hall Resort And Spa in Montego Bay. This place has its very own waterpark, which you may never want to leave.
6. The pace is set to slow
In Jamaica, chilling out is par for the course – the locals here have made it a way of life, so there’s no better antidote to hectic family life.
