What the research reveals
All destinations · 300 family resorts. Every percentage has its own researched sample.
Kids' clubs start at age 4 or older
Among recorded minimum ages. Younger children may need separate care. A club's minimum age does not establish whether care is included.
117 of 300 resorts have this detail recorded.
Have a strong teen program
Among researched teen programs. Strong, nominal and no program are recorded separately, rather than treating every teen room as active programming.
134 of 300 resorts have this detail recorded.
Have an on-site waterpark
Among resorts with an explicit yes or no recorded. A pool, slide or lazy river alone does not establish a waterpark.
96 of 300 resorts have this detail recorded.
Have gradual beach entry
Among recorded beach-entry types. A gradual sea floor does not guarantee calm water or safe swimming; conditions and supervision matter.
199 of 300 resorts have this detail recorded.
Record a heated pool
Among resorts with an explicit heating answer. Which pool is heated and when the heating runs are property-specific.
64 of 300 resorts have this detail recorded.
Record a single-room capacity of 5+
Among resorts with a stated single-room occupancy. Total capacity is not a promise for every adult/child mix; category and age caps must be checked.
195 of 300 resorts have this detail recorded.
Record a transfer of 45 minutes or less
Among recorded airport transfer times. These are planning estimates, not a guarantee for traffic, stops or shared transfers.
263 of 300 resorts have this detail recorded.

How we counted
This report uses operating public resorts that explicitly welcome children and include all-inclusive in their plan. Adults-only, optional-plan and unopened resorts are excluded. A missing answer is unknown, never a no. Waterparks and pool heating need an explicit answer; beach entry, club ages, teen programs, room occupancy and transfer times each use their own recorded sample.
Headline percentages need at least 40 researched answers. Destination comparisons need at least 10 per feature and are descriptive, not a ranking or a representative survey of every resort. Research coverage differs by destination. Room totals do not confirm every adult/child mix, and gradual beach entry does not establish swimming conditions. Read our research methodology.
