It seems like a great family vacation often requires a delicate balance of important elements, all of which must align perfectly in order for everyone to have a good time. As anyone who has endured a trip with restless teens or bored kids can attest, a family getaway that turns out to be a disappointment can leave everyone feeling miserable and grumpy.

On the other hand, if you choose the destination carefully, you can enjoy an adventure together that everyone will enjoy-and that the entire group will rave about for a long time to come.

This "dream vacation for the ages that will become the stuff of legend" scenario is exactly the kind of experience that Beaches creates for families and other groups on a daily basis.

Offering Something for Everyone

It can be a tall order to accommodate groups of varying age ranges, interests and activity levels. There must be an assortment of offerings to ensure there is something for everyone. Fortunately, Beaches is up to that challenge.

The adrenaline junkies in your group will be thrilled about all of the outdoor activities and watersports available on and near the property. Beaches boasts the largest watersports operation in the Caribbean. Wakeboarding, stand-up paddle boards and waterskiing are just a few of the options available to guests.

Plus, unlike many other resorts, Beaches also offers a range of motorized options such as MasterCraft World Tow Boats at all resorts where waterskiing is available.

The Kids Camps and Scratch DJ Academy are also popular with younger guests. Gamers will love the Xbox Play Lounge, where they can join in on tournaments and get a sneak peek at the latest games. Teens have a hangout all to themselves at Club Liquid, where they can enjoy the hottest dance music.

Good Times for Grown-Ups, Too

Kids and teens will remain happy and entertained throughout their entire stay at Beaches. That means the adult members of the family will be free to indulge in activities for the 21-and-older crowd without worrying about bored children.

Adults can enjoy all of the watersports and other activities, of course. They can also indulge in a range of ultimate premium spirits, including an exclusive group of six varietals of Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks Wines, chosen specifically to complement the resort's gourmet cuisine.

While the kids are occupied, parents can take advantage of the chance to enjoy a rare private romantic dinner in an adults-only restaurant. They can also choose to get some much-needed pampering at the Red Lane Spa, where treatment options include the new "Scents of Love" couples massage or an after-hours night blooming jasmine massage for two.

The Garden of Eden paradise setting and outdoor options ranging from a tropical garden to sparkling tranquil waters provide the perfect backdrop for spa treatments that relax and rejuvenate-and get couples in the ideal mood for romance.
