Fun in the sun looks very different to babies, school-aged kids and teens. Whether you’re a new mom looking for tips on how to travel with your baby for the first time, or a dad seeking a resort cool enough to convince your teen to come away with the family on vacation, then this guide is for you.

Fun for water babies and tots all aboard MSC Cruises

Who says babies can’t travel? The first vacation with your bundle of joy is often something that parents get nervous about. But with MSC Cruises, it's plain sailing. From strollers and baby-bottle warmers to cots and highchairs you’ll find pretty much everything you need on board. Add to that a baby laundry service, kid-friendly buffet open 20 hours a day, special toddler chef pizza-making programs, dedicated baby and toddler play sessions in the Mini Club for families to get together, along with babysitting options both in your cabin and at the kids club so parents get a break too.

Preschoolers can join the Paw Patrol™ at Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts Punta Cana

Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts Punta Cana is a preschooler’s paradise where cartoons come to life. Little ones can meet their favourite Nickelodeon characters including Dora the Explorer™, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™, Paw Patrol™ and more! Kids can get slimed at the Aqua Nick™ Playground featuring a kiddie splash pad or glide down a two-story slide into a ball pit at the supervised kids club. For an unforgettable experience, families can stay in SpongeBob’s one-of-a-kind Pineapple Villa.

School children won’t want to skip class at Planet Hollywood Beach Resort

Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Costa Rica might be the only vacation destination where the kids will ask to go back to school: stage school that is. A favourite activity at the resort’s Star Kids Club is the performance arts program. Complete with a wardrobe room full of red carpet-ready costumes, video recording equipment and a green screen, mini-rock stars and aspiring Hollywood divas can learn how to write chart-topping hits or take centre stage in their very own movie.

Teens can ride non-stop waves at Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa

It’s often hard to convince teens to join the family vacation but if you pick a resort like Royalton Bavaro Resort and Spa they may even ask to bring their friends along too! From practicing their hang ten surf skills on FlowRider® – the ultimate surf machine, to learning new skills on the water with complimentary kayaking and paddle boarding, there’s plenty to fill their days with Instaworthy moments. Evenings can be spent at the Hangout Teens Lounge equipped with video games, pool tables and more or grabbing a burger with their friends at one of the many relaxed eateries, while you take advantage of the resort’s plentiful à la carte dining options.
