Divi Resorts - These all inclusive resorts are located in Aruba, Barbados and St. Maarten. Their family friendly resorts will allow 1 children under 12 to stay play and eat free based on double adult occupancy.

***MSC Cruises - OK so it's not a resort but it still deserves a mention.  This cruise line is one of the most popular in Europe and is now offering fantastic Caribbean itineraries sailing from Miami to exotic ports of call with kids under 12 sailing for free!  Drink packages and gratuities can be added so your family can enjoy an all inclusive vacation experience just like at the resorts.  If you're willing to drive to port, you can save a ton on flight prices too.

A couple of important points to bear in mind here people when it comes to these "Kids Free" deals...

  • Valid passports are required to travel to ALL of these resort destination - even for children. You can book your trip without a passport but you MUST have a passport on your departure date to travel. Be sure to check passport expiration dates as rules have recently changed for many destinations.
  • Airfare schedules and prices also have to be considered while balancing your vacation budget. Many of these resort chains offer deals for multiple destinations. Some destinations may be more affordable than others.
  • Many other resorts will also allow younger children and toddlers to stay for free. For example, Club Med will allow kids under 5 to stay, play and eat free. Other resorts will offer reduced rates for teens. Check with one of our travel agents for specific help.
  • All of these offers are based on availability. Usually resorts allot a certain number of rooms for these type of sales promotions.  Once they sell out, you're "SOL"so book early! This will also give you the option of using our free vacation layaway.  
  • Don't expect to find "Kids Free" deals during spring break weeks or other high demand times of the year.  Most of these offers come with "black out dates".
  • "Free" means no room charges but you will need to pay for flights, airport-resort transportation, travel insurance and taxes.
  • If your preferred resort is offering multiple deals for your travel dates, do the math.  Sometimes a 30% off sale works out cheaper than a "kids free" deal.

At Vacationkids, we want parents to get the most bang out of their vacation bucks. Talk with us and let us help you do precisely that!
