At Andiamo Travel, we are all in favor of bringing the little ones in our life on vacation; however, we understand the need for additional amenities when it comes to young children and these hotels make sure your kids will enjoy the trip just as much as you do! This week, we rounded up our favorite destinations that are making it easier than ever for new parents to get away and enjoy your time together.
#1. Rosewood Miramar Beach
Montecito, California
While this hotel is our go-to adult playground for relaxing at the pool and checking out the local wineries of Santa Ynez Valley, the Rosewood Miramar also does a great job at catering to kids. With your kids ages in mind, our team at Andiamo will ensure that you have the crib and linens you need as well as anything from changing tables, diaper pails and in-room baby-proofing service. We’ll also make sure your tot has a matching child-sized robe and slippers to match Mom & Dad! Rosewood’s Explorers Club is designed to provide fun-filled days with a range of programming from arts and crafts to books, movies and games. The property has two pools – an adult pool and a kids pool. Let us book you a cabana at the kids pool to have the perfect home base for a day at the pool and beach!
