Planning the Perfect Multi-Generation Vacation

Nancy Sandals and Beaches Resorts , , , , , , 0 Comment

There’s something uniquely special about vacationing with extended family – grandparents enjoying time with their grandchildren; little ones giggling as they hear fun family stories from the older ones; adult siblings reconnecting and reliving childhood memories – those family times are even more precious after the past several years.

But there are challenges in planning a multi-generational vacation. For example, how do you find a place:

  • Where there are fun activities for all ages from littles to seniors, and where no one will complain that they’re “bored”?
  • Where everyone can relax and enjoy quality time together – as well as some time apart?
  • And perhaps most importantly – where you’re getting a lot for what you’re spending, and where you won’t be nickel and dimed during your entire trip?

(Bonus points if it’s a place that’s beautiful, sunny, warm, and tropical…)
