1. Moon Palace

Is Moon Palace Jamaica good for kids?

Moon Palace is definitely good for kids and has been a go-to spot for vacationing families since it was named Sunset Jamaica Grande. With over 700 rooms in 10 categories, you can find the best rooms and suites to suit your family’s needs.

In addition to the warm, captivating Caribbean Sea there are pools around the property including designated kiddie pools for a safer experience for the children. They did not stop at the pool for children however, your children can roam freely in the playroom, under the watchful eyes of the attendants of course.

Because touring Jamaica should be at the top of your list, especially in Ocho Rios, you can book one of the resort’s curated trips into Jamaica for some of our favourite excursions.

And as with all-inclusive resorts, there is no room for hunger. These 7 amazing restaurants serve up Asian, Italian, International and of course, Jamaican cuisine. And for the late nights, a snack menu is available from 10:30 pm - 6:00 am. All this is conveniently available on the Moon Palace app.

And for the babies, there is a nutritious puree menu available in the app as well.

A little fun fact. If you are a James Bond fan, then you'll excited to know that this hotel was where the cast and crew stayed while filming in Jamaica for, Dr. No. The 007 helipad is on the property still where the helicopter would take the cast to and from the shooting locations.
