What does it take to be one of the best family-friendly resorts? Kirsten Maxwell of Kids Are A Trip asked the rest of the Gnational Gnomad team to share their choices and elaborate on what it takes to make a property stand out from the rest. Here are their choices for the best family-friendly resorts around the world.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">Family-Friendly Properties in Europe<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"p5\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Nissaki Beach:<\/span><\/strong><strong><span class=\"s1\">&nbsp;Naxos, Greece<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">We\u2019ve stayed in a lot of amazing family-friendly hotels around the world, but the one we keep returning to is the low-key <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/7902189\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Naxos-Island-Hotels-Nissaki-Beach-Hotel.h1764795.Hotel-Information?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s3\">Nissaki Beach Hotel on Naxos, Greece<\/span><\/a>. There\u2019s no kids club, and there aren\u2019t scheduled kid activities. There\u2019s no lazy river or water park. It\u2019s simply a family-run boutique hotel on a wonderful Greek island \u2013 and it\u2019s perfect. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">We love it for the room setup (the 2-unit suite works great for our family of 5) and the location \u2013 within easy walking distance of town. The pool is small but perfect for us, and the hotel is right on one of our favorite beaches in the world, with shallow water that goes out forever. Very kid-friendly! And the hotel\u2019s restaurant on the beach is one of the best on the island, where the kids can play on the beach or even in the water if they want until the food comes. It\u2019s also one of the few places in the world where we\u2019re 100% comfortable with the kids leaving the hotel and wandering around town on their own.

Located between two golf courses and not far from the local beach and town, the property goes above and beyond the definition of family friendly. Martinhal has a kids\u2019 club for ages 6 months to 9 years and a massive outdoor playground space for everyone. During the summer there are tween and teen clubs offering age appropriate programs. The outdoor space has a giant in-ground trampoline, zip lines, basketball and soccer courts, swing sets, and playgrounds. There are also several pools and a spa on property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">Accommodations come in the form of deluxe rooms, suites, and villas. All units are extremely spacious and made for families. The larger rooms have fold down bunk beds with rails that kids will love. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">Martinhal offers a baby concierge that provides cribs, high chairs, monitors, gates, bottle warmers, and everything families might need on vacation. They even have menus for babies in their restaurants. The property truly thinks of everything and plans activities for kids so parents can have time for themselves. What more could families ask for!

Kids want nonstop fun on vacation too, while parents don\u2019t want an overstimulated kid at the end of the day. Somehow, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/7902189\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Nickelodeon-Hotels-Resorts-Punta-Cana-Gourmet-All-Inclusive.h13145542.Hotel-Information?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s2\">Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts Punta Cana<\/span><\/a> created the perfect balance in the Dominican Republic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">By incorporating those iconic Nickelodeon orange and green colors into the decor, but leaving out the cartoon characters and cheesy extras in the rooms, parents can feel like they are in a high-end resort and actually relax in a resort targeted at families. The swim up pool suites are great for families looking for a little privacy, but the beach is really where you will want to be. The main pool leads out to the beach with restaurants flanking both ends. All restaurants take food allergies seriously, making it easy for families to relax, no matter their dietary needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">But where are Sponge Bob and all his friends? They are safely tucked away across the street at Nickelodeon Place, along with the other sports activities so your blissful retreat is not disrupted by any midday character dance parties. While there is a character breakfast at the resort, you won\u2019t see many signs of Nickelodeon shows at the property. Kids can go off to the kids club for a little alone time with their friends, or hit the AquaNick water park (the major attraction at this resort) with their families. Babies through teens will love bringing their parents down to the Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts Punta Cana for some fun in the Caribbean sun. And don\u2019t worry mom, they have a pretty fabulous spa just for you, too.&nbsp; (<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Keryn at <a href=\"https:\/\/walkingontravels.com\/nickelodeon-hotels-resorts-punta-cana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s2\">Walking On Travels)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26018\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26018\" class=\"wp-image-26018 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Unknown-2-e1527607393391-1024x640.jpeg\" alt=\"Best Family Friendly Resorts Around the World Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts Punta Cana Keryn Means -Travelocity\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Unknown-2-e1527607393391.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Unknown-2-e1527607393391-300x188.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Unknown-2-e1527607393391-768x480.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Unknown-2-e1527607393391-400x250.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-26018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/walkingontravels.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Keryn Means<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"p7\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Mexico Fun with the Family<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s1\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/7902189\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Hyatt-Ziva-Puerto-Vallarta-All-Inclusive.h8822832.Hotel-Information?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s5\">Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta<\/span><\/a> is an all-inclusive resort positioned right on the beach, giving you easy access to included activities, like kayaking and snorkeling.&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Pick up an activities calendar listing events, like beach volleyball, tropical dance lessons, and cooking demos.

Why is it so family friendly? Well, for a start the rooms at the Holiday Inn have had lots of thought put into them. The Tanjung Family Adventure Suite has 81 sqm of space and the kid\u2019s room is decorated with loads of color and comes with a few treats like a PS4. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p13\"><span class=\"s1\">Then there is the Kids Club for 4 to 12 year olds. The property includes activities like Balinese dress up, mocktail making, pizza baking and so much more. My kids never wanted to leave, but when they did it was to play on the water slide and to dump buckets by the pool, build sandcastles on the beach or try their hand at fruit carving with the staff.
