I came across this article on yahoo recently '5 Family-Friendly Resorts that Celebrities Love'. Of course I
had to see where celebrities travel and relax with their families. The resorts
are pricey however the locations can be budget and family friendly. So you will
still be able to appreciate these locations that celebrities flock to with
their families. Since we have stayed at three of the five recommendations, I'm able to give my budget and family friendly travel advice.
1. Los Cabos, Mexico
Celebrity Resort:
Las Ventanas (price per room $1,600)
Las Ventanas (price per room $1,600)
This is a great family resort. The reason we booked,
is due to miles rewards and also the variety of pools and restaurants available at the
resort. The hotel is clean and had beautiful views from the restaurants,
pool, beach area, and a lookout tower in the hotel. The beach was not a safe area for children due to the high and strong 12ft waves. Cabo in general has a few beaches that you need to exercise caution around the waves.

Sheraton Adventure Kids Club
·
Kids Pool Play area
·
6 restaurants (poolside, casual, and upscale)

2. Sardinia, Italy
Celebrity Resort:
Forte Village Resort (price per room $437.00 euros)
Forte Village Resort (price per room $437.00 euros)
This hotel was perfect due to location, easy parking, and the amazing beach access. The hotel itself had the seaside charm and great buffet breakfast every morning. The rooms were a bit small and the gym..well there was a few machines that did'nt work. However again location, location. When you are on a 'beach' vacation you are not indoors. There is a small town plaza in walking distance and its not overcrowded. This is an Italian hotel chain, so leave American expectations at the door:)
- Walking distance to a small town plaza; restaurants, gelato shop, beach store, etc.
- Large buffet breakfast
- Beautiful beach area
3. Dubai (closer destination Bahamas)
Celebrity Resort:
Atlantis in Dubai (price per room $600)
Budget Friendly Resort:
Atlantis in Bahamas (price per room $350)
Atlantis resort has two locations in Dubai and Bahamas. The Bahamas is a bit closer and more budget friendly to travel too. This is a very family friendly resort and similar to a Disney experience. The great thing is its perfect for families with children from toddlers to teenagers. We had a great time at the water park, exploring the aquarium, and walking around the grounds.
Tip: here is a great link on the website for activities for toddlers, kids, teenagers, and parents
