I've only ever travelled with adults and am thinking of doing a trip to Negril in September with my 4 year old granddaughter and 25 year old daughter... I'm not familiar with the more kid friendly places. Any suggestions? Thinking about AI for ease.

My kids like Crystal Waters nice to have a living room with a tv for kids, and the housekeeper/ cooks are awesome there.
Hey Lady,
hit me up.... I have a GREAT idea for you....
I would definitely do AI. Last time we brought our child, she would want everything but not eat hardly any of it! Kids are like that.
disney world!!!!
I took my twins to Charela two years in a row when they were 2 and 3 years old. Nice wide beach with plenty of shade. They can play in the sand in the sun or shade. Close to run back to the room if necessary without making it a huge voyage and interrupting the beach vibe. You can also buy ice cream and other tasty snacks as they pass you by on the beach
how could they be twins when one is 2 and the other 3?
:cool:
Really? You can't figure that out? I took them when they were two. Then the following year when they were 3 years old.
"two years in a row"...funny how that can happen your mind starts doin math as soon as it sees numbers...while text sometimes is ignored
I was going to say the same thing! :DQuote:

Thanks, Vucko for my laugh today! :)Quote:

Swimming pool and little playground on the beach. Bring along a few beach toys and other pack able favorite activities/toys. Your housekeeper could babysit if you want to go out without the little one here and there. Would be a wonderful, relaxing beach vacation.
Save Disneyland for when she's 7, 8 or 9.

I second old goats' Disney World comment. Six Flags would be an alternative as well as the zoo.
( thinking of doing a trip to Negril) don't think you need A/I would make sure to bring some sand toys and things to entertain her in the room too. There are plenty of places some even with a pool. Hope the granddaughter can swim too.
We have been bringing our daughter to Negril with us since she was 18 months. She will be 6 this year and absolutely loves it. We stay at a small hotel on the beach for 2 weeks and she loves the beach vendors and found out this past trip that she really likes jerk pork and of course the ice cream, cotton candy, peanuts, banana bread, coco bread, etc.
the "babysitters" and "nanny's" in Jamaica have proven to be a good, safe choice for people we know...kids dont want to leave 'em...lol
I would go to any beach hotel which has a kitchen you can use. I took my 3 year old grandson and his parents and stayed in a cottage at Yellow Bird. He loved it and access to the sand and water is a bonus We picked up some bread, box milk etc so that we could make him something to eat. He also loved jerk chicken and he is a VERY picky eater!
Thanks everyone... we've booked an AI just outside of Mobay and will be going to Negril for 1 or 2 days during our stay... I'm going to let my daughter get a feel for everything first before going non AI. I'm going to keep these suggestions in mind as we will be going again hopefully two weeks in April. Its great to hear everyone's suggestion. And yes, Disney is on the radar... but in addition to Jamaica not instead of.. I think my granddaughter already loves Jamaica and she hasn't even been there yet!
