Apple Vacations Makes Booking Family Vacations Easy

May 06, 2015
DreamsAd_FEATURE
Kids at Dreams Tulum enjoy campouts on the beach and other fun activities.

Booking family vacations is a breeze with Apple Vacations, a one-stop-shop for air, hotel, transfers and excursions. Apple Vacations has a wide variety of hotels in Mexico, the Caribbean and Hawaii with free kids for summer travel. Plus, AppleVacations.com/familygetaways is a good source for family travel planning and includes the family of five finder – a tool that lists hotel occupancy for larger families.

Here are some other great tips for finding the perfect family vacation:

1. Look for a vacation package – Often times, vacationers can get a better deal when they buy a package that includes airfare, hotel and transfers, and travel agents save time by not piecing vacations together from several different travel sites. Apple Vacations packages can include round-trip air, hotel accommodations, hotel transfers, all meals and drinks and taxes and fees. Vacationers will know the entire cost of their vacation up front.

2. Compare Apples to Apples – other tour operators may not include hotel transfers, which could add another $100 each way. With Apple Vacations, hotel transfers are always included in international destinations.

3. All-inclusives are the way to go – today’s all-inclusives have great dining options. A la carte restaurants, room service and your beverages are all included. There won’t be any unexpected bills at check out.

4. If travelers have concrete travel dates dates or have a particular hotel in mind, they should lock in their vacation as soon as possible. The most popular dates and hotels sell out quickly. Apple Vacations AVOK vacation protection offers a cash-back feature, where if the price of thee vacation goes down after purchase, clients can claim the savings, and Apple Vacations will refund the difference.

5. Vacation time is valuable too – Spend more time on the beach and not in the airport with Apple Vacations’ nonstop vacation flights. This summer, Apple Vacations will have 120 nonstop vacation flights to sunny destinations, including service from Los Angeles to Cancun and Ixtapa.

Once in resort, families want to know there are enough activities for all members of the family. Here are some great resort options for kids:
