8 Best Caribbean Condo Resorts for Families

There are two types of families: those who love all inclusive resorts, and those who don’t. If you’re part of the latter group, condo resorts are an excellent vacation option, especially since they offer fully equipped kitchens where you can cook (and save some money), washers and dryers (so you don’t have to do 25 loads of laundry when you arrive home), and some of the same perks you’d find at a mega resort, such as swimming pools and water sports equipment. Considering a condo hotel for your next trip to the Caribbean? These are our favorite Caribbean condo resorts for families.

1. Ocean Club Resorts – Turks and Caicos

In Turks and Caicos, Ocean Club Resorts (Ocean Club and Ocean Club West) offer condo-style accommodations with multiple bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, washers and dryers, and private patios or balconies. Each condo is individually owned, so no two are the same. The resort also offers an outdoor swimming pool, bike and water sports rentals, and for kids and families in particular, a scavenger hunt and amenities such as highchairs, bed rails and babysitting services. Don’t miss Solana, which offers delicious meals and killer views of world-famous Grace Bay Beach.

2. Secret Harbour Beach Resort – St. Thomas

Secret Harbour Beach Resort really does feel like a secret, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Charlotte Amalie and the St. Thomas cruise port. What’s more is it offers condo-style accommodations with full kitchens and balconies; two onsite dining options; and a dive center where you can rent kayaks, paddleboards and snorkel gear. Best of all is the resort’s quiet stretch of sand and surf.

3. Marriott’s Frenchman’s Cove – St. Thomas

Another condo resort in St. Thomas, Marriott’s Frenchman’s Cove offers luxurious villas for families. The multi-bedroom villas are equipped with fully equipped kitchens and private balconies overlooking Pacquereau Bay. Perks include a secluded beach, onsite market, outdoor pool and poolside grille. In 2020, the resort’s sister property, Marriott’s Frenchman’s Reef, will reopen.
