10 Popular Resort Kids' Programs

10 Popular Resort Kids' Programs

May 12, 2016

This is a guest post by Cristen Casados, the founder and editor of The Bucket List Mom - a family travel blog; and The Naptime Reviewer - a parenting resource blog.

Planning a family vacation can be stressful.  Most resorts have so much to offer, but lots fall short when it comes to entertaining the kids.  Kids want to have fun just like mom and dad, but mom and dad do not necessarily want to do what the kids want to do all day.  Sipping mojitos by the pool sounds like a blast to us adults, but swimming in the pool can only last so long for active, energetic kiddos.


Kids' programs vary by resort, by destination and even by time of year, but having a list of some of the good ones makes the planning process a little smoother.  The programs highlighted are some of the most popular kid and parent-approved programs that are worth taking a second look at.

To create the site for the resort, several hundred trees and cacti that only grow a centimeter a year were dug up and will be transplanted so all are used, protecting the native flora and fauna of the region. Eliminating the need to rely upon local and regional natural resources, Grand Velas Los Cabos’ Reverse-Osmosis Desalting Plants operate self-sufficiently. For every liter of potable water, the resort will be able to re-use 2.54 cups for general purposes, while 1.69 cups are returned to the subsoil, aiding in the conservation of the environment. Saving 30% of all water used in the entire laundry process, the laundry facilities include a water treatment plant that efficiently filters soapy waters to then be used in the rinsing process. The residual water treatment facility receives and processes all the water from the entire resort, which is then used for the watering of all exterior gardens and surrounding mangroves and jungle.

Tips

Something that I have learned over the years of traveling with my kids is that you should plan ahead with the kids' programs.  Most of the time, we arrive at a resort and completely forget about the schedule of activities planned for kids.  We end up jumping into the activities at the last minute, completely unprepared.  Check out the kids' programs online before your trip and ask the concierge for a schedule for the duration of your trip.


Sometimes smaller kids have trouble going into the childrens' programs, but once they are in the program without mom and dad, they seem to do okay.  Start small by signing them into the program during one dinner or lunch and see how it goes.


The week before your trip, sit down at the computer with your kids to show them the fun activities that they will have access to.  This almost always helps my four-year-old.  She doesn't like to be unprepared and thrown into things on vacation, so watching YouTube videos from guests or browsing the resort's gallery is a great way to introduce her to the kids' program and activities.
