Resort: Franklyn D Resort
Location: Jamaica
What’s great for families: It’s smaller than most all-inclusive resorts, but that’s what makes it so family-friendly. Each family is assigned a nanny to help watch and entertain the kids during their vacation.

Hotel: Delray Beach Marriott
Location: Delray Beach, Florida
What’s great for families: Once voted Most Fun Small Town in America by USA Today, this town boasts sandy beaches, delicious restaurants, and the Silverball Museum for both modern and old-timey arcade games.

Resort: Atlantis, Paradise Island
Location: Bahamas
What’s great for families: The main attraction is an amazing water park with waterslides, fountains, and a Mayan-themed Splasher’s Island. There’s also a rock-climbing wall, an aquarium, dolphin habitat and movie theater, plus a kids club and of course the beach and boating.

Resort: Westin Kierland Resort
Location: Scottsdale, Arizona
What’s great for families: This resort doesn’t forget the older kids! It offers tweens and teens the FlowRider, a machine that lets you “surf” in the desert. Also available to everyone are giant swimming pools and numerous kid’s programs. Plus it’s in close proximity to Phoenix where you’ll find more kid-friendly attractions like the zoo, the Arizona Science Center, a water park, and the Desert Botanical Garden.

Hotel: Circus Circus
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
What’s great for families: Las Vegas is much more family-friendly than its reputation lends and Circus Circus offers plenty for families. Located right on the Las Vegas Strip, it has an indoor theme park, live circus acts, and inexpensive buffets.

Resort: Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana
Location: Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
What’s great for families: The resort has an on-site kids’ club with daily activities such as face painting and cooking classes and an arcade for older kids. Outside there’s a children’s pool with waterslides, a lazy river, and a mini-golf course. After a day at the beach and the kids’ club, they can retreat to a cool rock-themed room.

Resort: Hyatt Ziva Cancun
Location: Cancun, Mexico
What’s great for families: While the kids’ club with a pool and water play area is a terrific daytime activity for the little ones, the real bonus is the on-site dolphin habitat giving guests the opportunity to swim with these gentle creatures and make long-lasting family memories.
