When you’re planning your next family vacation and wondering where you can go where the children and adults will have a good time, consider Grand Bahamas Island. If you’ve already done the theme parks, water parks and national parks, why not try a Caribbean island? The Grand Bahamas Island is just an hour away from mainland Florida and easy to get to by plane or boat and has wonderful beach resorts that offer the kids a place to play while the adults go off and play too.
There are two large resorts on the Grand Bahamas Island: The Our Lucaya Beach and Golf Resort and the Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach and both offer their guests a well-thought out children’s program. The children’s programs are so well done at both resorts; the adults and children will completely enjoy their vacation and want to come back time and again.
The Our Lucaya Beach and Golf Resort offers families a beautiful beach resort with multiple pools and water activities for everyone to enjoy. This resort is about 10 minutes from the airport and is across the street from the Our Lucaya Market Place; a great place for shopping and local Bahamian fare. And should you want to spend some time away from the kids the Our Lucaya Beach and Golf Resort has a well-staffed children’s program at Camp Lucaya.
Here children will be entertained with kid activities from swimming in their own pool with a huge tower slide; the Our Lucaya Beach and Golf Resort kids’ camp offers interesting classes on Bahamian culture and arts and crafts. Kids can expect to learn about native dances, island art, and even coconut bowling. The resort can arrange “field trips” with local Marine Explorers Club and swim with the dolphins. Camp Lucaya offers this highly recommended program to guests of the resort with children from ages 3-12; there is also babysitting available for younger children too.
The Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach is the only all-inclusive vacation resort on the Grand Bahamas Island; they too offer a fabulous children’s program for their guests named Kid’s Club. The Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach is just 10 minutes east of Port Lucaya and is said by many on the Island to have the most picturesque beach. This resort sits on a sprawling 26 acre compound overflowing with fragrant hibiscus plants, date palms, birds of paradise.
This newly renovated property offers 1,200 feet of secluded beach and offers a tremendous amount of daily fun and sun for kids and adults alike. While the adults are off enjoying windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling or simply enjoying one of the frozen island concoctions that Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach is known for, the kids at Kid’s Club will enjoy sports, games and classes on local culture taught by a well-trained staff. The children’s programs are designed to give the adult guests some time to enjoy their vacation but it is important to make periodic checks with their children and not rely solely on the club for their children’s entire vacation.
For specific age and time restrictions you will need to contact the resort directly. Children and adults can enjoy their Bahamas vacation with a little quality family bonding and sometime apart to meet and make new friends.
The Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach’s all inclusive vacation package means just that, all meals, drinks, including alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages are included along with snacks, on site entertainment, non-motorized water sports, taxes, tip, and gratuities.
Vacationing on Grand Bahamas Island is truly a paradise for families looking to get away from the stress that too much togetherness can bring. If you are interested in traveling to the Grand Bahamas Island and enjoying an all-inclusive Bahamas vacation consult a qualified Bahamas travel consultant for the best package for you.
