Ya Mon! Families First at Beaches Ocho Rios

October 21, 2019 By Lena 3 Comments

Heads up, Canadians! Read on for a limited time promo with Air Canada Vacations: for bookings made before October 31, 2019, use code BEACHES to save $200 per booking with no minimum spend, valid on any Beaches property in Jamaica. Further details follow.
There are many things I look for when reviewing family-friendly sun destinations, and for the most part, Caribbean resorts have elevated their offerings to meet the expectations of discerning Canadian vacationers. Therefore, when I find a resort that goes over and above to deliver an exceptional experience at a comparably excellent value, I am more than happy to sing its praises.

At the moment, that resort is Beaches Ocho Rios, Jamaica. …

Beaches Resorts + #FamilyTravelCA = Paradise.

November 22, 2014 By Lena

Brrr. Baby, it’s cold outside. And while the wind howls and the snow dusts the ground, I have thoughts of long sandy beaches, warm turquoise waters and drinks with tiny umbrellas.

Sounds like the perfect time for a #FamilyTravelCA Twitter Chat!

Have you ever taken your family on a luxury all inclusive vacation? It’s an opportunity to spend quality time with the ones you love most, push yourself out of your comfort zone and seek out new adventures, and connect as a family on an entirely new level.

Often, while living – even temporarily – in the lap of luxury.

This month, we’ve teamed up with Beaches Resorts to chat about the ultimate all inclusive for everyone. From the 7-mile beach at Long Bay in Negril to the white-sand beach in Ocho Rios, Jamaica is the next entry on my family travel bucket list… and I’m looking squarely at you, Beaches Resorts. With more quality inclusions than any other resort, Beaches Resorts offers luxurious accommodations, kids programs, unlimited land and water sports, gourmet dining choices and more!

If you can dream it, you can probably find it at a Beaches Resort.

Join us on Tuesday, November 25th at 12:00 pm EST as we chat about the best of Beaches Resorts, including watersports, the many dining options, accommodations and of course, the Red Lane Spa.
