Plan now for a fab family getaway with LeGrow’s Travel
F
amily suites, adjoining rooms, kids clubs, teen clubs, babysitting services, activity programs, a beach suitable for kids, children’s menus… There is so much to consider. Finding the perfect family-friendly vacation for your crew can be daunting. Waiting until winter to find it can make it impossible. “When it comes to having the most memorable Christmas or winter break family vacation, the earlier you get the ball rolling, the better,” says Allison Barbour, LeGrow’s Travel counsellor, Marystown. “It’s not just that those dates sell out quickly, but rooms at those all-inclusive resorts that specialize in family programming can also be hard to come by.” “I often contact my clients with kids now, as the early-booking bonuses and resort selection are at their best,” says Allison. LeGrow’s Travel’s own $100-Off promotion, combined with the earlybooking savings of our tour operator partners, add up to great savings. And with the Price Drop Protection plans in place, you can be certain of getting the perfect vacation at a great price. Pick up a copy of LeGrow’s own Recommended Resorts for Families brochure to see our counsellors’ top choices in Florida, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cuba, Mexico, cruising, and more. Meanwhile, here are just three of our hottest winter picks for families.
