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. Here’s a list of my favorite, along with…

Bahamas Wyndham Fortuna Beach: An All-Inclusive Resort
One of my all-time favorite family trips we’ve ever taken was when we stayed a week at the all-inclusive Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach Resort.

When we booked our stay at the Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach Resort, I was a little bit nervous because the reviews were all over the board. We were just looking for a fun family vacation in paradise. And we wanted all meals and drinks included so we’d never…

Disney Fantasy Eastern Caribbean Cruise
A Disney Cruise is something I always wanted to do with my kids, but it was something that my husband and I agreed would be a “one and done” kind of trip for us. First, like everything Disney, it’s a large financial investment. Second, our kids would be growing up, so by the time we could afford another trip, they’d likely be too old for Disney. Well, that was our initial thought, but before we even disembarked from our Disney Fantasy Eastern Caribbean cruise, we were already talking about our next Disney cruise adventure… Because this was supposed to be our one and only Disney cruise, we wanted to do…

Your Guide to a Memorable Family Vacation at the Atlantis in the Bahamas
My husband and I spent a couple of nights at The Atlantis during our honeymoon, and we knew it was a place we’d want to visit someday with our kids. We figured when the youngest was 5, it would be a good time to go. That way the kids can be old enough to do most of the slides and really enjoy the entire Bahamas family vacation. That was our plan. But some things don’t always go perfectly, no matter how meticulously planned out they are. A mere 11 hours before our flight to the Bahamas, our 5-year old fell in the backyard and broke his arm. He and my…
