The Tyler Place Family Resort www.tylerplace.com
For families, the all-inclusive vacation can be a terrific deal. At The Tyler Place Family Resort, it is also one of the best ways to make sure that every single family member experiences the perfect holiday. The resort offers a true summer camp experience, and then some — think spa services and evening cocktails! The great thing about this place is its understanding that while parents want to bond with their kids, this may be their only getaway of the year, and they might also want some downtime of their own as well. Essentially, mom and dad can enjoy the best of being an adult and a kid, while children are immersed in a range of fun and educational activities: from rock wall climbing to sailing to exploring meadows. And it doesn't matter how old the child is because there are nine age-staggered programs (including one for infants) that have a caregiver-to-child ratio of one to two (at the very most). With a picturesque setting on Lake Champlain, the resort features a selection of cottages and suites, all with separate parents' bedrooms. Though they're rustic rather than swanky, the accommodations are just right for a casual family escape.
