We are all hearing the term “Spring Break” about now. Apple Vacations wants to introduce you to the new “Spring Break - Family Style”. Spring Break conjures up the thought of teens and kids in their early 20’s partying in a sun soaked destination. The reality is most hotels in Cancun, Riviera Maya and Punta Cana don’t even accept spring breakers. They are catering to a different market – The Family Market.

There is till time to book for this year! Reinvent the meaning of Spring Break and take the whole family to Cancun, Riviera Maya or Punta Cana.

Most hotel chains are creating rooms, activities and amenities to meet families’ needs. Hotels are more family friendly than ever. Hotels offer family suites and “Family of 5 Friendly” rooms. In the past, families with 2 adults and 3 kids had to book 2 rooms. This is no longer the case. For bigger families, look to hotels such as Barcelo Family Deluxe, Dreams Resorts & Spas and Palladium Resorts.

If you have “teens”, some hotels are focusing on them as well and creating teen clubs or centers. Check out Palladium Bavaro in Punta Cana or Iberostar Resorts in Riviera Maya.

There are so many hotels that have special family features. A good resource to help plan your Family Getaway is our specialty site: http://tinyurl.com/ygjp5jh

Also, in this economy many all - inclusive hotels offer kids stay, play and eat for FREE! You just can’t beat that. No worries on how many times your child wants to go for a snack, drink or dessert - it’s vacation right? You are not socked with a bill at the end of your stay. Look to Dreams Resorts & Spas and Barcelo to find these offers as well.
