Iberostar Hotels & Resorts make planning and taking a family vacation a breeze. Being all-inclusive and offering activities for all ages, these resorts are the natural choice for parents and children. Whether family members want to spend the lazy days of summer lounging by the pool or exploring the wonders of the ocean, they can do it all at Iberostar’s Mexican and Dominican Republic vacation paradises.

The children’s activities at Iberostar are based on the concept of “edu-entertaiment,” activities that actually teach the children while the kids believe they are simply having a great time. Children are not just confined to a room all day watching movies and playing video games – they are outside, exploring and learning about the natural habitat that surrounds them on land and at sea. Iberostar’s popular program for young children, ages 4-8, known as Lucy’s Mini Club, offers activities such as painting, drawing, swimming, Olympic-style games, clay modeling and treasure hunting. During busy holiday periods, Iberostar resorts host The Maxi Club, geared towards children ages 9-12 years old. The Maxi Club offers various sport activities such as ping-pong, volleyball, soccer, basketball and water polo.

While their children are at play, parents can take advantage of a wide variety of Iberostar Hotels & Resorts’ activities - swimming in the luxurious pools, relaxing in Jacuzzis, playing tennis and volleyball, enjoying spa treatments, and working out in the fully equipped fitness centers. The opportunities for water sports are endless, including snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, windsurfing and sailing. On the Riviera Maya in Mexico, golf aficionados can play at Iberostar’s new Playa Paraiso Golf Club, an 18-hole, P.B. Dye golf course, complete with pro shop, a driving range and practice putting green. The five Iberostar Dominican Republic resorts are all within close proximity to fabulous golf courses, including Casa de Campo’s “Teeth of the Dog” course, designed by Pete Dye, near Punta Cana.

The brand new shopping complex at the Iberostar Playa Paraiso property is a great hangout for families and includes many gift shops selling local crafts and artwork, as well as beachwear, jewelry and clothing items. All-inclusive restaurants in the shopping center include an American style diner, a taco restaurant, tapas bar and crepe & ice cream shop, as well as Galaxy - the adults-only disco and The Underground, an alcohol-free disco for the under-18 crowd.

Guests at all Iberostar Hotels & Resorts enjoy first-class accommodations and the convenience of an all-inclusive vacation. A wide variety of daytime and nighttime activities, dining and entertainment options are available, all designed with leisure travelers in mind. Daily rates include accommodations, all meals and snacks, drinks and cocktails, room service, fitness center, kid’s camp, activities, nightly entertainment, gratuities and much more.
