Travel Tailored For The Younger Generation (NAPSA)—For many people, the dream of a Caribbean vacation is filled with images of sunshine, endless beaches and exotic drinks with paper umbrellas. Yet there’s something missing from this snapshot of an island getaway:kids. That is, while laying out by the ocean and soaking up tropical bliss may be the “unwind” that travelers crave, children tend to have a different idea of what makes for a fun vacation—andsitting still generally isn’t it. For that reason, a growing number of families are seeking out destinations that appeal toall age groups, providing each demographic with pastimes they enjoy—for a trip that covers all the bases, allowing everyone to return home happy andrelaxed. For example, family is the first priority at one of the top allinclusive resorts in Antigua— located in the Leeward Islandsin the eastern Caribbean. While there is much to do together as a group, children ages 3 and up can enjoy a full schedule of supervised activities, so they can find age-appropriate playmates, giv- ing Mom and Dada little time for themselves. The Jolly Beach Resort & Spa offers numerous entertainment options for kids, including: The new Jolly Teenz Club, a terrific place for 13- to 16-yearolds to meet and socialize. The space is fully decked out with two 36” flat-screen televisions, video game systems, a stereo system, a DVD player and arcade-style games. At night, the club trans- forms into the Dream Room, a dynamite setting for get-togethers, including Pizza and a Movie Night and Disco Night.
