Winter in the Bahamas is temperate. So
Westin and Sheraton at Our Lucaya Beach & Golf Resort alternates its events by season. For instance, Liselle Harris, manager of activities and entertainment says, "In August we might have coconut bowling, whereas in January we might have a bonfire at night to roast marshmallows."
What we find so cool, and you will too, is the way they incorporate
local Bahamian culture and tradition into the camp's programming. In winter, young guests might learn about Junkanoo, a local celebration commemorating early historical figure John Canoe. A grand parade ensues and according to Harris, "we had child-sized Junkanoo costumes made, with crepe-paper skirts, feathers, and colorful headpieces, and we fit right in."
RESORT INDEX:- Size: 1214 rooms and suites; a room with two double beds is 375 to 400 sq.ft. (These two hotels are sister properties and share the properties and share the children's program and amenities.)
- Features: seven swimming pools, all staffed by lifeguards; new shaded playground; full-sized cribs; inflatable castle on the beach
- For Mom & Dad: beachside massages; only resort in the world with tennis courts that have surfaces equaling the Grand Slam courts; 14 restaurants
- Facts: only a 45 minute hop from Miami making it a great choice for kids who haven't mastered long air travel; front desk calls young guests right after check-in making them feel special, telling them about camp
- Off property activities: dolphin encounters, eco-tours, and sailing
