What a good kids' club offers

Look for supervised activities, a safe space and trained staff. Good clubs organise sports, crafts, games and sometimes excursions.

Questions to ask

  1. Age groups. Are there separate groups for toddlers, children and teenagers?
  2. Opening hours. Is it open morning, afternoon and evening?
  3. Staff. What qualifications do they have, and what is the staff-to-child ratio?
  4. Safety. How do they handle drop-off, pick-up, allergies and first aid?
  5. Cost. Is it included, or are there extra fees?
  6. Language. Are staff able to communicate with your children?

Features to look for

  • Shaded outdoor space and a children's pool.
  • Family restaurants with child-friendly menus.
  • Babysitting services for evenings.
  • Rooms designed for families.

Do your homework

Read recent reviews from families with children of similar ages, and look at photographs of the club.

Don't over-schedule

Children also enjoy unstructured time with parents. Mix club time with family activities.

Policies vary, so check with the resort directly.
