3 Florida Resorts Perfect for a Family Vacation

Florida has more than its fair share of reasons for families to plan vacations there, and the state has so many resorts to choose from that choosing where to stay can be overwhelming. We’ve shortlisted three resorts perfect for families to have a great stay without the stress of sorting through hundreds of options.

Grassy Flats Resort & Beach Club
This beachfront resort sits along the coast of the Florida Keys in the city of Marathon. It is an eco-friendly resort that gives families the perfect place to take a break from daily life and enjoy accommodations and privacy a family needs. The Keys are a natural playground for families, and Grassy Flats Resort & Beach Club offers plenty of ways to enjoy them, from paddleboarding in shallow waters and kayaking through mangrove tunnels to kiteboarding activities designed for all skill levels. There are great ways for the whole family to relax around the resort, from lounging in hammocks to taking a plunge in the pool, but if the kids are craving higher adrenaline adventures, you can always head to the property’s sister property, the Lagoon. It’s just a mile away and has a floating obstacle course, wakeboarding, and a beer garden for parents to enjoy some cocktails and brews while kids play.

voco Sandpiper All-Inclusive Resort
It may seem like all the best resorts in Florida are on the beach, but the beaches don’t always get to hog the spotlight. Voco Sandpiper All-Inclusive Resort is in St. Lucie, directly on St. Lucie River, so there is still plenty of water, and, of course, that Florida sunshine, to be had. The resort is designed around outdoor adventures on and around the river, and the resort welcomes families needing plenty of space, making it perfect for a multi-gen family getaway. The fact it is all-inclusive is the icing on the cake — kids, parents, grandparents and more can take advantage of the all-inclusive packaging to enjoy a variety of dining options, sporting options, activities and entertainment without having to worry about watching the budget.

Beach House Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale may have a reputation as a popular spring break destination, but it’s time to update that reputation. Beach House Fort Lauderdale is one of the many reasons this beach city is great for families. This Hilton property only has suites, so you know you’ll be getting rooms with space a family needs, with the added bonus of great food options, incredible views of the Atlantic and easy access to all the great attractions Fort Lauderdale has to offer. The city isn’t far from Everglades National Park, so you can treat the kids to an airboat ride, and there are endless options for scenic cruises and watersports along the coast. And, best of all, the resort is just steps from the beach, so you can enjoy a taste of what makes the city such a popular spring break destination in the first place.
