This spectacular, all-inclusive luxury resort is a haven for those who appreciate the finer things in life: five-star service; incredible overwater bungalows; and a turquoise lagoon so clear, you can see fish from your private porch.

Meals are included at the four on-site restaurants and two cafés, and guests can choose between 120 of the resort's uber luxurious villas–60 of which are overwater villas and 60 lie on land. Outdoor showers allow kids to gaze at the stars while washing away the sand from a day well spent.

Book a family beach villa, a 280-square-meter oasis with a private patio and pool so divine, your kids will be happy enough to stay in for the day. That said, the Dolphin Kids Club is packed with enough fun (like a kids' restaurant, pool, and outdoor play space) that your little ones ages 4 to 12 will beg to go back.

When they're happily occupied, you can head to the Emerald Spa for a relaxing massage, play tennis, workout at the gym, or head out on a diving or snorkeling adventure. Water sports like kayaking, kite surfing, and sailing are included in the rate.

This fantastical property knows how to impress its littlest guests. Perks like a water park with slides, a playground, and a dedicated section in the buffet restaurant make it easy to appease children of all ages.

The Bahia Scouts program is a dedicated area that offers fun activities and babysitting for kids ages 4 to 12 to help parents who are hoping to enjoy a couple of hours of alone time. Teens are bound to have a great time here as well. The Loft is a club dedicated just for them.

A dolphinarium, eight swimming pools, an 18-hole mini-golf course, and two water parks welcome families to the Barceló Maya Beach Resort.

An old hand at providing some of the best all-inclusive family accommodations in the world, this haven is fringed by 1.2 miles of soft, white sandy beach and enough activities to keep everyone happy.

A stay at this complex grants visitors access to its sister resorts and their facilities and services–Barceló Maya Caribe, Barceló Maya Colonial, and Barceló Maya Tropical, which are part of the Barceló Maya Grand Resort. That means you're essentially getting four hotels for the price of one. Not bad!

Meals can be enjoyed at one of three on-site eateries: the Beach Buffet, Mexico Lindo Restaurant, and Rando Grande Grill. Snacks and drinks are also included, as are a host of activities. Family rooms measure about 1,260 feet squared and offer two sofa beds and one king-size bed.

Barceló understands that sometimes kids need a little pampering, too. That's why they added the U-Kids Spa, which offers treatments for kids while their grownups get blissed out at the U-Spa. These services will incur a fee. When they aren't having their toes painted, kids ages 4 to 12 can join in the fun at the complimentary Barcy Kids Club.

Nickelodeon knows kids, so it's not surprising that their resort would do such a good job at catering to families.

Fans of the popular network can rest easy knowing their kids will be well and truly entertained during their visit to this Karisma retreat. The Gourmet Inclusive® package boasts everything you need: drinks, snacks, meals, activities, and even a private butler.

Kids can get slimed, swim till their toes wrinkle, and meet their beloved heroes: Spongebob Squarepants, Paw Patrol, Dora the Explorer, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They'll beg their parents to leave them at Just Kiddin', the fun children's clubhouse offering programs for kids ages 4 to 12.

If you're looking to score major points, book the Pineapple Villa (it's modeled after Spongebob's vibrant home). This themed retreat comes complete with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private patio with an infinity pool, and a dedicated butler to spoil every member of the family. Don't worry, the master suite is free from cartoon elements, and the entire suite drips with luxurious attributes.

Not willing to part with too much extra cash? A swim-up suite is a happy medium, offering guests a plunge pool and large wraparound patio. Speaking of swimming, the resort's water park, Aqua Nick, features slides, a lazy river, and the requisite sliming station.

When it comes time to eat, don't miss the whacky Spacewalker restaurant, where you'll dine on tasty dishes served by astronauts. Cool off with a slime smoothie. Don't worry, they taste much better than they sound. The Gourmet village is packed with restaurants to tempt every taste bud.

Speak with the hotel before you go, as they can provide everything from cribs and pack-n-plays to bottle warmers, baby monitors, changing tables, and booster seats.

11. Giraffe Manor, Nairobi, Kenya

Accommodation: Giraffe Manor

You'll have to book early if you want to score a room at the incredible boutique hotel, Giraffe Manor, which lies near some of the top attractions in Nairobi. A stunning estate that dates to 1932, this 12-room retreat is one of the most popular all-inclusive resorts in Nairobi.

While the accommodations are luxurious (we're talking four-poster beds lined with netting, private balconies, and elegant bathrooms), most people are willing to pay the hefty nightly rate for a glimpse of its beloved residents–a herd of Rothschild Giraffes. A lucky few can book rooms that offer direct feeding to the giraffes.

No worries if your room doesn't have direct access to the animals. Every guest can feed the giraffes during breakfast from the dining room. The long-necked creatures stick their heads through the windows to grab treats while you eat. And, there's little as exciting as sipping a cup of tea on the lawn while giraffes saunter up for a snack. Your kids are sure to talk about this experience for years to come.

Don't miss a trip next door to the wellness center where you can enjoy a serene float in the pool, a massage, or a meal at Daisy's Restaurant (for a fee).

All-inclusive incudes meals, most beverages, laundry, entrance to the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Giraffe Centre, lawn games, and chauffeured vehicles to take you on sightseeing expeditions.

Knowing their kids are safe and happy, blissed-out parents can lounge by the pool, partake in a spa treatment, or head back to their family-friendly, two-bedroom bure to relax on the hammock or nap on the comfy patio.

All meals and non-alcoholic beverages are included, as well as five off-site excursions each week (i.e. to the rainforest or waterfall), evening entertainment, and multiple activities.

No worries if you're traveling with older kids. There's plenty to keep them entertained as well. Teens will love the beach activities and the Sports Lounge offers billiards, table tennis, and board games to help while away a rainy afternoon.

You'll be very happy that meals are included when you sample the tasty fare available at the fab restaurants. The award-winning Le Basilic restaurant isn't included in the fee (there's a surcharge per person), but it's more than worth the price. Kids must be 13 or older to join.

Another excluded venue is The Table, the resort's newest and most interactive dining experience. It involves a 12-course tasting menu of Mexican specialties enjoyed at a long table that seats 20. A projector sets images of Maya culture on the table to enhance the experience. This is an adult-only experience and also requires a hefty surcharge per person.

Beverages, non-motorized water sports, and airport transfers are also part of the all-inclusive deal.
Book an Infinite Club room if you'd like to feel like a VIP. It includes access to an exclusive lounge and beach club, meals at Le Basilic restaurant, and 50 percent off your dinner surcharge at The Table.

The Sapphire Rooms are your best bet to house a family of five to seven comfortably. They include a three-level bunk bed in a separate area so everyone can enjoy a quiet night's sleep. There's also a minibar in the room filled with healthy snacks, and a balcony to enjoy the view.

The Inspiration Spa isn't just an escape for adults. This family-friendly spot boasts a kids' studio for little ones to enjoy while their parents are busy being pampered.

When it comes to food, no-one will be disappointed. With eight restaurants to choose from, guests can dine on the flavors of local Mexican dishes and more far-flung Italian and French. La Pergola is the buffet eatery that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
