11 Great Family Resorts

The Floridian islands of Captiva and Sanibel, located off the coast of Gulf of Mexico, are perfect for families if you're not an all-inclusive type. Captiva's South Seas Island Resort provides well-appointed villas with full kitchens, while kids 6 to 10 can enjoy Sanibel Sea School with programs on marine conservation as well as swim lessons, tennis lessons and arts and crafts. Kids will love the H2Whoa! waterpark with slides and a zero-entry pool. Good to Know: Rooms on the third floor offer best views and privately owned villas may be rented through sites like Vacation Rental by Owner.
