Family vacations are big business for hotels and resorts, who cater to their littlest guest, and the Melia in Puerto Vallarta has made this as one of their top priorities, evident by the focus on their Kids & Co Clubs. These clubs divide the kids by ages, where the trained staff of babysitters arranges appropriate activities for them during the day.

From the arrival at the Melia, where the special family check-in area welcomes guests with snacks, juices and gifts for the kids, to the family accommodations that consist of 407 square-foot rooms sleeping up to 5, to the special kid amenities, the in-room mini-bar and a for fee bathrobe and slippers option, it is very evident that the Melia Puerto Vallarta is prepared for the family vacation.

The Kids & Co Clubs is one of their most important additions and features:

(a) the 'Baby Rock' club, for ages 4 months to 4 years, it open from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. daily and staffed with certified babysitters who arrange activities and games. They even have cradles.

(b) the 'Ramm Ramm' club for 5 - 11 year olds have both free activities such as wall climbing, a batting cage, and video games, as well as activities that have a fee such as the 18-hole mini golf and the painting T-shirt workshop. For the kids still awake and full of energy there is the nightly Cool Club's mini disco, talent shows, and the pirates and Fred Flintstone parties.

(c) Teens between 12 & 15 years have many options, there is the hip hop and grafitti workshops, water balloon fights, pirate treasure hunts, karaoke beach parties or they can just hang-out with the Flintstones.

The "Flintstones" are featured all around the resort - picture taking time with the Flintstone family is at the 'Rocka Flash Club,' with breakfast prepared by Fred at the Bronco Breakfast, and for those who like to shop, there is the Yabba Yabba Doo Bazaar.

Families enjoy most activities for free but golfing at the Marina Vallarta Golf Club, or getting a massage, facial or treatment at the oceanfront Spa comes with a fee, and once a week, Puerto Vallarta's best artisans and craftsmen visit on-site with one-of-a-kind gifts and souvenirs on sale.

The all-inclusive Melia Puerto Vallarta is located 5 minutes from the international airport and 10 minutes from the heart of downtown. There are 10 restaurants and bars which include a swim-up bar and a thatched palm roof hut adjacent to the pool and beach where adults can enjoy drinks from noon - 5:00 p.m. The Spa offers alfresco spa treatments overlooking the gardens, or oceanfront massages, and golf is available at the nearby Marina Vallarta Golf course.

Families can enjoy the fun-packed Flintstone theme with stone-age activities for everyone and the Kids & Co Clubs with an extensive range of activities. Visit Melia Puerto Vallarta for more information and reservations.
