1. Grand Reserve at Paradisus Palma Real

We had the pleasure of staying at the brand-new @grandreserve_palmareal in Punta Cana a few weeks ago, and I'm excited to share that our full write-up and vlog is now up! Click the link in our bio to check it out. #hosted In this pic you see the set-up we had. Our one bedroom swim-up suite had direct access to an exclusive pool. It’s the perfect set-up for families since it offers a spacious dining room, kitchenette, plenty of storage space, and of course, a sleeper sofa for the kids. On the ground floor, we walked right out to the pool, which runs the length of the building. We had our own private cabana right by the pool, as well as a lovely patio area, and an outdoor hot tub. ⁣ 📷 @awwsomepic #topflightfamily ⠀⠀⠀⁣ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ .⁣ #thegrandreserve #palmareal #puntacana #puntacana2019 #puntacanabeach #puntacanaresort #puntacanaadventures #puntacanalife #puntacanaexcursions #puntacana🌴 #puntacanadominicanrepublic⁣ #dominicanrepublic🇩🇴 #dominicanrepublic #tropicalstyle #islandtrip #oceangrown #oceanswim #tropicals #islandbaby #oceanchild #oceanwave #lovetoswim #puntacanafoodies ⁣#luxuryfamilytravel #familytravel #luxurytravel #familytravelblog #familytravelblogger

Top Flight Family, a family of four living in New York, travels to some pretty incredible destinations like Dubai and Hong Kong, and even though they have “luxury” in their handle, they hit up some more attainable destinations, too. Think Montego Bay, Aruba and Cancun. They recently stayed at Grand Reserve at Paradisus Palma Real in Punta Cana and took full advantage of the water park, kids’ club and dining options (the resort has nine restuarants!).

2. Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina

Back to work this morning but wishing we were still at the @pinkshellresort in @ftmyerssanibel. [AD] It was the best hotel we have ever stayed in, there was literally nothing they didn't have. From movie nights at the pool for the kids with free popcorn, activities throughout the day like crafts and scavenger hunts, Maragrita Monday's for the adults, shaved ice for the littles and so much more. You can check our story highlights for more details on what the hotel offers. Who wants to stay at the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina? #ftmyerssanibel #thetravelingchild

The family behind The Traveling Child has created a delightful Instagram account full of the happiest smiles you’ve ever seen. And of course their kids would be happy when they get to stay at super fun resorts like Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina in Fort Myers! The property is huge (12 acres!) and surrounded by nature, with Matanza Pass (a protected natural area) on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. What makes this resort perfect for families is the choice of studios as well as one- and two-bedroom accommodations. The Traveling Child loved the resort’s movie nights with free popcorn and fun activities like scavenger hunts and crafts during the day.

3. Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya

It’s been a busy couple months for our family, so busy in fact that we are considering changing up our pace a tiny bit while we launch our course (March 28)! But until then we were excited to find some relaxation on the lazy river at @iberostar! #iberostarparaisomaya #sponsored . . . . Anyone else in need of some relaxation lately?

The Jetsetting Family truly lives up to their name, having visited Vietnam, Australia, Malaysia and more with their two little ones. But they don’t always travel far and recently visited Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya in Playa del Carmen. The resort has the only wave pool in the Riviera Maya along with an exact replica of Chichen Itza and an amazing lazy river, which the Jetsetting Family took full advantage of in their visit.

4. Encore Las Vegas

We’ve spent the last few days in Las Vegas and we have had a blast. We saw a magic show, used party busses to get around, ate until we could not eat anymore and spent some wonderful time with friends too. My kids were fascinated by this large window in the room, allowing them to see the vibrant colors and how Vegas transforms from a very regular dessert with big hotels to a city of lights once the sky blends into night. Have you ever taken your kids to Las Vegas? What are your thoughts? Favorites? #encorelasvegas #lasvegas #vegaswithkids #lasvegaswithkids

A post shared by Nadia T (@funwithmama) on Sep 3, 2018 at 12:14pm PDT

Yes, Vegas can be family-friendly. Nadia of the funwithmama Instagram account stayed at the sister resort of Wynn Las Vegas with her family of four and never ran out of things to do. Even the city’s transition from day to night is enough to captivate kids. Need more convincing? Check out the #vegaswithkids hashtag.

We’re always up for a tropical island getaway ⛱🍍🏝 This time we didn’t even have to travel too far from home! @paradisepointsd . . . #ParadisePointSD #missionbay #visitSD #lajolla #visitcalifornia

Kelly and Aaron of the No Man Before travel and adventure blog recently had somewhat of a staycation on California’s Mission Bay at this lovely California retreat. There are plenty of room choices, including bungalows. The resort is a great fit for families, with a kids-only swimming pool (plus four other pools to choose from), a lagoon with a sandy beach area and a mini golf course. Plus it’s a 5-minute drive to SeaWorld Sand Diego.
