best Caribbean destination with little kids?

Anonymous
Kids are ages 6,5, and 1 - open to all-inclusive or not. Looking for something fun for spring break! Direct flight. We are usually more adventurous travelers but now with the 1 year old in the mix I need something easy this year.

We just did all inclusive in Punta Cana (onyx dreams) and it was great. Older kids but still recommend for younger too.

Direct flight from where exactly? There aren't that many from the DC area-Puerto Rico, Cancun, Aruba and Punta Cana are among them.

Not true, United out of IAD has quite a few direct flights to the Caribbean. BWI has some too on various airlines.

Feel free to name them if you think they’re plentiful. Other than seasonal flights to St Thomas and the Caymans, the above list captures most of the common direct flights.

My vote is Puerto Rico since you can fly direct and not deal with any of the hassle of international travel. With little kids, a long travel day ruins the whole experience. Puerto Rico has great weather, solid resorts and easy to get to. Just make sure any beach swimming is done at your resort only. Many beaches are unsafe.

Not sure your budget but I’ve got chartering a catamaran in the BVI on our list ($15-20Kish all in for 6-8 travelers).

St Marteen has direct, as does Turks and GC as already mentioned. DR and Puerto Rico also do - though I wouldn’t do either.

GC is a good option! Aruba is a longer flight but also nice. Providenciales is an easy flight and couple of nice places to stay - I think GC might be easier w more to do, safer to walk around.

We also have a one year old and an older -

That's going to be hella expensive. It's $800 to go to Florida

That's not going to be fun with at least 2 kids that can drown.

I like Bermuda for super young kids, but I don't think direct flights start until summer time.

This place has been on my list for years: https://bluefieldsvillas.com/families/

Includes childcare. Damaged by the hurricane but I follow on instagram and they are recovering quickly. They appear to be taking reservations as soon as February. You might catch a good deal.

Yeah all that money PP has isn’t helping them at all with reading comprehension.

Yeah I’d go to PR too. The Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve should fit your requirements nicely, or the new Four Seasons if you want a splurge.
