including your pet in family vacations

If you have children, you may be under the impression that staying in a luxury vacation resort is out of the question. Kids and luxury don't initially seem to go together. However, these resorts are probably not exactly when you think they are. Many are designed with family needs in mind, since after all, families often go on vacation together. Take the tips below into account, and you can your children can have a good stay together.

1. Look for a resort with amenities that kids will love.

If there are things the kids will enjoy at the resort, you will have an easier time keeping them entertained. They will also be better behaved since their desire to play and have fun will be met. Some amenities kids enjoy at a luxury resort include:

• A pool (make sure it is large enough that your kids playing won't disturb other patrons)
• A playground
• Televisions with HD programming or move features

2. Bring some snacks along.

The resort will certainly have foods that you love, but the higher-end foods offered may not particularly please your kids. So, bring along some snacks that you are certain your kids love. This way, when they get hungry but happen not to enjoy what is being served at the resort, they don't have to go hungry. And you don't have to pay a high price for the same snacks in the on-site convenience store.

3. Ask for a larger room or suite.

Luxury does not always mean larger, so do not assume a standard hotel room will be large enough for your family just because you're staying at a luxury resort. Everyone will have a better time if you make sure you rent a larger room or a suite. You can each have your own bed, so you will get better rest, and the kids will have more space to play and run without you tripping over them.

4. Talk to your kids about behavior.

Some people are concerned that their kids will disturb other guests at a luxury resort. A good way to avoid this is to talk to your kids about their behavior before you head off on vacation. Tell them that you are staying at a very special place, and that they will have to be very quiet and mindful during the stay. If they get loud, remind them kindly that they should be respectful and quiet in appreciation for the accommodations.
