Family Vacations with Transat Holidays
A recent Transat Holidays Family Vacations Survey revealed that over 70 per cent of Canadians believe that an ideal family vacation is a stress free destination that offers programs for children. This is so true, since last year my family and traveled with twin toddlers and a 5 year old, to Mexico. When we were deciding on an All-Inclusive resort for our family, we had to consider all the amenities, attractions, services and service – to ensure that holiday would be more fun than ‘work’. And, we had nothing short of a marvelous time! For those traveling this year, Transat Holidays offers an outstanding line of affordable, family-friendly, and all-inclusive resorts perfect for families.
The same survey revealed that a third of Canadians feel creating memories that last a lifetime is what they enjoy most about family vacations (31%). And, I have to agree, the memories from our vacation will be treasured forever! So, Transat Holidays has a great selection of all-inclusive family resorts in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Florida.
If you’d like to take a family vacation this year, start by looking into these resorts I have listed here. Each of them have family-friendly services such as babysitting, kids’ clubs, playgrounds, kids’ waterparks and more. The Transat Holidays website lists all the amenities for each location, allowing you to make an informed decision. The ultimate decision comes down to where you’d like to go, price and services – yet believe me, the job of initial searching for a family-friendly resort can be overwhelming. I give to you, a great place to start your search.

I jet off to my own relaxing vacation this week, to Cayo Santa Maria {Cuba} with my husband. This time we aren’t taking the kids, yet I’m always on the hunt for our next family vacation location! It’s always recommended to keep an eye on the prices too, and if you can swing last minute – there’s plenty of savings to be had!
Disclosure: I was provided with product to facilitate this post, opinions are my own.
If we had passports I would totally come meet you this week-end in Cuba. Sadly I still need to get us passports.
Personally I would love to take my family to Florida if I were to win.

Jamiaca. When we were in process of adopting we had a cruise planned to there. But unfortantely the new family member did not have her passport so we had to opt out of the cruise and do Disneyland.
My dream vacation would be a trip to Greece. They have Athens package vacations listed on their site that get my heart all a flutter. However, the truth is if I won the voucher, I’d much more likely use it to take the kids to Florida.

I’m dying to take the kids to Florida for a Disney Vacation!
Oh my word – this would be amazing to win!!!
I’ve wanted to go to St.Lucia for a looong time, so that’s probably where I’d pick…though Jamaica sounds fabulous and I’d love to go back to the Dominican Republic…..
Really, I was just made to holiday….anything with a beach and palm trees and I’m as happy as can be! 😀

I would love the chance to win any of the trips offered. It has been a very, very long time since I could possiblly afford to go away, and this would be just what my boyfriend and I could use to put our relationship back on track. He lost his job, and he has been under a great deal of stress. This has added alot of stress to our relationship. This would be just what we needed to put our feelings back on track. Thank you for the chance!
