For families looking for a resort that delivers a relaxed yet active vacation, Club Med delivers a lot: all-inclusive pricing, good food, super kids' programming (including, at some properties, cooking classes and a circus school with trapeze workshops), and an impressive array of family activities. (See our reviews of Club Med's Sandpiper, Cancún Yucatán, and Ixtapa Pacific properties.)

Here's even more good news:  Club Med has launched a "kids stay free" deal that lets families save plenty of moolah. When you book a seven-night stay at any of Club Med's five family villages, one child 15 and under can stay free for every paying adult. Depending on which property you choose, this deal can shave anywhere from $2,800 to $5,700 off your bill! To take advantage of this offer, book by March 1 and travel before October 29. As always, there are some restrictions and blackout dates.
