Because there are so many aspects to compare, we’ve broken them down individually here:
1. Accommodations – Get a guest room or spring for a suite? Read our guide to help make your decision. Also a breakdown of what’s included in the resort fee.
2. Swimming Pools & Lazy Rivers – Basically the reason you’re staying at the resort… but don’t get so distracted by the lazy river you forget about the sandy beach or water slides. We’ll make sure you know all the details before you go… like is the outdoor pool heated? Is a cabana rental worth it? And do I have to get out of the lazy river to get a drink?
3. Family Activities – Yes, there are things to do at the resorts for the whole family other than play in the pool. Check out our guide to family-friendly activities at each resort like biking, kayaking, or horseback riding and where to access an itinerary before your trip.
4. Restaurants – Don’t get caught waiting 3 hours for a sandwich you could have made yourself and beer that only comes in a bottle. Know where to save money onsite and where to splurge… also what to wear and if you need a reservation.
5. Child Care – Even family-friendly vacations need a little adult time. A guide to onsite kids clubs as well as the closest (affordable) option for forgotten baby/kids items.
6. Golf – Plan which golf course you want to play and reserve your tee time before you go!
7. Spas – To spa, or not to spa… now that’s a silly question! A guide to hours and services at each resort. Yes, you do deserve it.
8. Nature Trails – Discover family fun surrounded by nature as you hike, walk, jog, or bike your way to that second dessert.
