JAMAICA

In contrast to the pricier all-inclusive resorts that dominate much of Jamaica, Negril has a lot of family-run, family-friendly lodges that offer rooms for well under $50 a night. Famous for its laid-back seven-mile-long beach, kids can splash around in the gentle waves or play along the kid-friendly shoreline. Older kids can rent kayaks and paddle out to the coral reef for snorkeling. And if you’re planning summer travel, discounts are often available for hotels and flights into Montego Bay.
