For many years the Jamaican Tourist Board concentrated on adult couples. Remember the "Come back to Jamaica" jingle? Research showed the tourism boards that families were a natural market for them because Jamaica is still a very rural island with strong family values.
And you'll be interested to note that those values come into play when the resorts are staffing - especially at the moderately priced, all-inclusive Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort in Montego Bay.We couldn't help notice how Sunspree has taken the KidSpree Vacation Club, which serves children ages 6 months to 17 years and broke it down into four age groups. They found an ease in staffing the infant to 3 year olds because the fact local residents are so disposed to taking care of children. These super nannies are well versed in CPR and first-aid.
The 4 to 12 year olds spend most of their time outside in tennis clinics, playing games at the beach, learning the latest reggae dance move, and getting to know the Jamaican culture better.RESORT INDEX:
- Size: 498 rooms and suites; a room with two double beds is about 265 sq.ft.
- Features: half-mile of private beach; shaded playground; two laundry rooms
- For Mom & Dad: adults-only pool with swim-up bar; fitness center; romantic rafting
- Multimillion dollar renovation recently
- 173 connecting rooms, yippie! and 26 family suites
- Only 15 minutes from Montego Bay airport, eliminating the long airport transports synonymous with a Jamaican vacation
