I know you said no Mexico but it is a short flight, no time change, and very family friendly if you pick the right resort.

I loved Hawaii when I was 5. Would recommend for little kids.

I wouldn’t take kids as young as OP’s on a flight that long.

Do you have help on the trip? That’s a lot with w a 5 month old. My almost 1 yr old is the greatest baby but an absolute sh*t sleeper in places that are not her crib at home. Vacations were rough 😬

We went to st Pete’s in April once and there was red tide. Just fyi. It was a a bummer. No swimming and noticeable air problems.

Look at Naples FL which has a brand new Great Wolf Lodge.

This far south in Florida will be a definite guarantee the water will be warm but even if there is a spate of bad weather, you have the option of being indoors at GWL.

It’s a long trip, though. Depending on how long OP is planning to stay it may not be worth it.

Had actually been looking at 30a but my husband thinks it will be too cold the week of spring break - around April 12/19th ish. Thoughts? I have never spent much time in Florida so have no clue.

Where are you starting? With that age group and that many I would be making the transportation as short as possible and avoiding time changes.

Swam in April, lovely property.

And there is an on-site villa option that is booked directly via the Hyatt site, if you wish to go that route. I have to assume the main difference is lack of daily housekeeping. But everything is on one property.

I don’t think anywhere in the 48 is really warm enough for beach swimming in April except Florida.

In my experience, most posh hotel/resort situations are family-friendly. Four seasons, etc. But you will have to make choices on room layout that will be important.

Are you bringing any help? Maybe you would rather be in a house/villa with a kitchen of some kind?

Looking for recommendations for a family trip in April. Ideally somewhere that will be warm so we can swim (pool or beach is fine). We have a 4 year old, 2 year old and a current newborn who will be five months.

Open to any destinations really, but probably not Mexico. Have considered Florida, Arizona, California and/or Europe (Lisbon, Barca). Also open to Hawaii.

Looking for specific family friendly hotels you have used (not suggestions for a destination more broadly). Thinking staying in the US will be easier for transportation, but not married to it.

Thanks!
