Beach Vacation

Once this year is over, I promise I will treat ourselves to a grand family vacation – we deserve it. Who knows we can even afford to go to the Caribbean and experience the Riviera Maya! I know it is primarily known for honeymoon destinations, but there is a family oriented beach resort just opened by the Karisma line of hotels. Azul Beach Hotel Resort, on a beautiful stretch of the Bahia Pentempich beach in Puerto Moreles, re-opened this season after being completely redesigned, and is the first boutique all-inclusive resort. With just 98 rooms, a gourmet-inclusive dining philosophy and many family-friendly amenities, Azul Beach Hotel offers families a new way to vacation. Parents are pampered with adult-sized indulgences as well as extras like strollers, cribs, baby milk heaters, beach games, coloring books, refrigerators for milk and medicines, and even kid-sized bathrobes.
