Have you ever said, “My idea of paradise is taking my kids overseas on a summer vacation”? Responses to this utterance could result in strange looks, but for some families, taking their kids to fascinating destinations is exactly the way they define paradise. You can emulate this yourself if you plan carefully, pick the right destination, and make your children part of your travel plans.
Select a destination that’s nearby, family-friendly, and where English is spoken. Families recommend Belize’s Placencia Peninsula, where vacations are easy, breezy, and laid back, and where family-friendly Laru Beya Resort has become one of Placencia’s most popular family destinations. It’s already called paradise. You’ll agree.
Your 7-step guide to family vacationing
Planning a family vacation requires thought, and we’ve borrowed advice from guests who love Laru Beya and return to this self-described paradise frequently. Take the advice of “veterans,” and your stay will be wildly successful.
- Lower your expectations! Magazine spreads of happy smiles on family members during idyllic tropical vacations are just that: Carefully staged photographs. Your children aren’t perfect. Let them be themselves.
- Book early enough to snag an oversized suite designed just for active families who love to spread out.
- Redefine your definition of paradise. You won’t encounter angels strumming lutes, perfect weather 24/7, nor will your children be so enraptured that they’ll have no desire to act up or melt down.
- Focus on family activities when you craft an itinerary and consider your escape as a chance for everyone to contribute. Things will go awry just as they do back home. Model good behavior when they do!
- Don’t over-schedule. Keeping kids in motion from morning to night may sound like the ideal way to keep your brood distracted, but they get tired, too.
- Don’t be surprised when staffers admit that they adore your littlest ones. Laru Beya is a beachfront haven dedicated to making sure everyone finds paradise—even toddlers with minds of their own.
- Take advantage of Laru Beya’s All Inclusive Package so you needn’t lift a finger.
