Jamaica is home to so many beautiful resorts, it’s hard to make the right choice – especially since not all of them are kid-friendly. Don’t worry, parents, we’ve done your homework for you! Our Travel Experts have combed through Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios to find the top 11 resorts that are perfect for the whole family.

These top-tier resorts offer fabulous experiences for little ones and grown-ups alike, with helpful amenities and services to give you peace of mind. From water slides and teen lounges to connecting rooms and high chairs, here’s where to stay with kids in Jamaica.

1. Azul Beach Resort Negril

Travelling with a baby or toddler? Azul Beach Resort Negril provides a wide range of baby amenities so you don’t have to pack the whole house with you. Whether you need bottle warmers and sterilizers, baby monitors, strollers, or even pureed baby food delivered to your room – just ask!

For everyone else in the family, there’s Azulitos Playhouse, a great family pool, and excellent family rooms. Choose between a family suite, two bedroom suite, or two-level family loft suite (which is right next to Azulitos Kids’ Club!).

For the most space, book your relaxing getaway in The Pad, which comes with a private patio, master bedroom and separate living room (with an extra bed and baby cot available if you need it). For the best view, you can’t beat the Superior Room, where you can watch the Caribbean Sea from your covered veranda.

Can you tell me how to get – how to get to Beaches Negril? Your kiddos can meet their favourite Sesame Street® characters at this recently renovated all-inclusive family resort. And if they’ve already outgrown Elmo, there’s more than enough to do across the resort.

Have a blast at Pirates Island Waterpark, leave your teens at the Xbox lounge, hop on the hydrobikes and Hobie cats, or play a game of bocce ball, basketball, and more.

Families are spoilt for choice in the way of accommodations. From the Grand Luxe connecting family rooms to the Tropical Beachfront 3-Bedroom Walkout Grand Butler Family Suite, there’s a perfect oasis for your crew.

Unique to the Ocho Rios location is an all-inclusive golf program made just for kids!

Choose between family and luxury? In Jamaica? Never! All-In Luxury® is the name of the game at Royalton White Sands (and spoiler alert, everyone wins this game). The attention to detail is hard to beat, and the atmosphere manages to be elegant and family friendly at the same time.

We love the Family Jacuzzi suites; they come with a king sized DreamBed™, a pull-out double bed, and a set of bunk beds (plus two separate living rooms and a private balcony). It’s the perfect place to rest up before a full day of playing at the splash pad, water park, lazy river, Clubhouse and Hangout Teen Lounge, and daily entertainment.
