9 Best All-inclusive Resorts for Families in the Caribbean

"Geared toward adventure-seeking families, this Atlantic-side resort features a mile-long beach, St. Lucia’s largest water park (CocoLand) with slides and a lazy river, three family-focused pools (a zero-entry Splash Pool, an Activity Pool for games like volleyball, and a Splash Plunge Pool), and a 30,000-square-foot paintball course for ages 13 and up. Dining spans eight a la carte and buffet restaurants from oceanfront fine dining to casual jerk-focused venues, plus seven bars. Activities include kitesurfing, wing foiling (seasonal Surf Shack availability November–June), reggae lessons, themed beach parties, karaoke, tennis, and basketball; children ages three months to 12 years can attend the CocoLand Kidz Klub. Family-oriented Splash accommodations offer ocean-facing rooms and suites with private patios and connecting units; the Sanctuary Spa offers oceanfront cabana treatments for an additional fee. Note: being on the Atlantic side can mean choppier water than sheltered bays." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
