HI Moms.
We live in CA and I really want to get out of CA for 7-10 days to a nice kid friendly beach resort. We are a family with 2 kids that will be 4.5 and 3 this summer. I would like to find a resort that has a kid friendly resort that has a kids club where you can drop off children for maybe two hours and so that me and my husband can do some adult activities. I really like water that is warm with not a lot of waves, you know like the Caribbean, but I do not want to go to a foreign country. I am not yet ready to go with my kids to a foregin country just in case they get sick, I would like to be in US hospital where English is the first language, maybe when they are a bit older I feel more comfortable. I know I need to go somewhere in the Southeast, but where? All I want is a nice sandy beach with warm water and not a lot of waves where they cater to families....Any ideas???
Thanks Mamas!
Thanks for all the suggestions. i will look into all of them. have to definetely check disney.
disney has Hilton head and Vero Beach and they just added Aulani in Hawaii. Its Disney so you know they take care of Families and there are great spas.
there's a club med somewhere in florida, i looked at it last year, we ended up doing something else - but i may look at it again for next year.
Hawaii? florida? South Carolina???
I'm not sure what your budget is, but you might want to check out Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island in Hawaii. It has everything you described, and more.
I know you said you want US only, however, I HIGHLY recommend Club Med Ixtapa, Mexico. There are plenty of activities for kids, a kids club, food choices galore and a beautiful beach. The employees are almost all trilingual (English, Spansh, French) so that's not a problem. You can take a day trip to Ixtapa Island for snorkeling on a real coral reef. And, the price should be pretty reasonable. We took our 5 year old in August and we're still raving about it. I think Club Med has US locations...though not 100% sure. But if that doesn't work, there's always Hawaii. Never been but it's on our bucket list. Have fun!
I'm thinking... DISNEY CRUISE!!! There's also a new Disney resort that opened in Hawaii! Fun!
What about that new Disney Resort in Hawaii, Aulani. I have not been there, but would like to. I could imagine they have lots for the kids as well as a drop off for them. I've seen that they have several pools and water slides and a river run.
Hilton Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii:
We love Myrtle Beach, though that's a bit of a plane flight from CA. It tends to be a beautiful, quiet beach when we've visited. There's outlet shopping not far from the beach and a really great outdoor mall that has more shopping but also fun stuff for kids. (http://www.broadwayatthebeach.com/)
Here's where we'll be staying this year: http://www.dunesvillage.com/
I know they have kids crafts, condo type rooms, a water park in the hotel and it's right on the beach!
Wherever you go, have a great time!
