Best Family-Friendly All-Inclusive Resorts in the Bahamas

I absolutely love going to the Bahamas. My husband and I went there on our honeymoon and immediately fell in love with the crystal-clear water, white-sand beaches and friendly people. Since then, we have returned a number of times. Now we travel with our kids in tow, so we love staying in one of the family all inclusive resorts in Bahamas.

I’ve had a lot of people ask me about the all-inclusive family resorts in the Bahamas since there aren’t many options that aren’t strictly adults-only. However, there are some good options for family all inclusive resorts in Bahamas–just not a ton. These are my favorite, along with what I like about each one. And if you’re open to options that aren’t all-inclusive, check out these awesome family resorts in Nassau.

For the sake of this post, I will be focusing on family resorts in the Bahamas that are all-inclusive. Therefore, the Atlantis isn’t on this list. However, we have been to the Atlantis (with and without kids) and have loved it. I share plenty of other information about the Atlantis in other posts, including a comparison of the various Atlantis hotel options and an overview of our stay at the Atlantis. You can add on dining plans before you go, making it a semi all-inclusive experience, and I go over how to do that in my post as well.

The Baha Mar is another family resort that isn’t an all-inclusive, but is a wonderful option for families. Like the Atlantis, it has a waterpark and casino, and tons to do on the property. But it does not have an all-inclusive dining option.

Thanks for reading my post. My name is Jaime and I am a mom to three busy children. When we're not at the soccer and football fields, we try to get away as often as possible. I'm a teacher and my husband is a firefighter, so we mostly get away for long weekends or over the school breaks. I hope to inspire busy families to take time to recoup and relax while making memories on camping trips or cruise ships, or at the fancy resort pool--we love it all!
