Best Place for a Family Vacation in MB

Hi!

This is my family%26#39;s first real vacation. I%26#39;ve got 4 young children and we%26#39;d like a nice family resort. We%26#39;d like to be somewhat close to The Pavilion or Family Kingdom. And it has to be oceanfront. Some of the properties I%26#39;ve looked at so far are

Holiday Sands North and South

The Reef Resort

Sandcastle Resort at the Pavilion

Tropical Seas

Sea Mist Oceanfront resort

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kathy

Hi Kathy,I believe the ones you mention do not get that good of reviews.I have been going to MB for 10 years now.If I had to pick one that is listed I would pick Sea mist.Your kids will love it and make sure you get the package deal.They will like it as much as disney.They have a nice waterpark and are close to Family Kingdom.They have so much there on the property you do not have to leave unless you want to.It is a great budget vacation.The rooms are not that great but ask for a renovated one.You are not in the room that much anyway.

Thanks sweetiepie,

I%26#39;ve seen on some other websites that the Sea Mist has a lot of teens there staying and they%26#39;re a bit rowdy. Is that true ? I have younger children and want them to be comfortable where ever we stay without having to worry about being trampled on.

Thanks for you suggestions,

Kathy

This resort is very family friendly.Just do not excepect the ritz ,make sure you get a newly renovated room. they have great programs and activites for the kids.They have their own waterpark,putt-putt,castle playground,kids magic shows,parties for the kids,pizza and icecream shop,and do family grill outs 2 to 3 nights a week.I am not sure where you heard this place is rowdy,but maybe that was during Spring Break or senior Trip weeks.

The Sea Mist is very Family friendly and our kids loved the water park and the kiddie pool. I was unhappy with the cleanliness of our room, and the fact that my husband and I could not both sit on the balcony comfortably. I guess it depends on what you are looking for.

Thanks for all your help. I really do appreciate it.

I%26#39;m narrowing my choices down. I didn%26#39;t think planning a vacation would be so difficult. I%26#39;m starting to feel like hotel research is my fulltime job. lol

Hi Kathy,

I know this wasn锟斤拷锟絫 on your list of hotels but, have you looked into Dayton House? It锟斤拷锟絪 my family锟斤拷锟絪 first real vacation this year too and I was doing tons of research for weeks and we finally decided to go with Dayton House. We picked it because it sounds family friendly, it锟斤拷锟絪 in our price range and close to a lot of things. If you stay 5 or more nights the rates are lower. You can also go with one of their packages. They say they don锟斤拷锟絫 allow anyone 21 or younger to stay unless they are with a parent. It has an oceanfront zero depth pool a lazy river and other pools. Our room will be an oceanfront efficiency. They also have a nice lawn with umbrellas. You can check their website at www.daytonhouse.com.

Be sure to check out websites to any attractions you might go and see锟斤拷锟絫hey usually will have printable coupons! : ) Some restaurants will have coupons you can print from their websites also.

I have searched on these websites and found them to be helpful锟斤拷锟?.

Hi Andi,

Wow ! Dayton House looks very nice. I love the family value package. Sounds like a excellent deal. It%26#39;s definately one I%26#39;ll have to add of my ever-changing hotel list. lol

My desk is now covered with travel budget forms, brochures, travel guides and maps. lol I can barely find my computer.

I have to make a decision about this today or tomorrow.

Thanks for all the great websites, I%26#39;ve got two more to add to your list.

Good luck with your trip and thanks again,

Hello you need to stay at Sandy beach resort it across the street from the family kingdom and about two blocks from pavilon and it is agreat place to stay

The Dayton House is wonderful, we just got back from a week there. Our 18 month old had a blast.

Hello! I noticed on your list of potential hotels you included Holiday Sands North. I have reservations there for the first week of August. I have never stayed there, but I have read favorable reviews from various sources. I think it is in a great location. 2nd avenue pier is practically right next door and they have this big fireworks display every Wednesday night @ 10:00 during the summer, so that is a plus. Good luck with your search!
