at 10 my son loved Sunset Beach (Montego Bay) --- they have an active kids program and a waterpark on site

i also liked that i could do a day trip to Negril and another day trip to Ocho Rios or 9-mile

good mix of Jamaican and continental food and several "restaurants" (free) on-site

it's not 5-star but it's okay

also let mom know that she can eat and drink at CCLP all day --- but when she gets there and sees that beach i bet she'll be motivated to check out other places

maybe share some pictures of the beach so she can see how active it is and all there is to do

Good Luck lol
