One of the top resorts for kids in Jamaica, Jewel Runaway Bay Resort offers five programs for groups ranging from infant to teen that are fun and educational. Let our gem counselors and nannies, all trained in first aid, CPR and AED, provide your kids with an exciting and safe experience they’ll never forget while you relax at the beach.
Kids Lounge and Amenities: The Kids Lounge located off of the lobby offers games and an activity board listing the day’s excursions and programs for ages 11 and up. There’s even a Paparazzi snapping photos when the kids least expect it during their scheduled activities. Parents will later be able to access these photos for purchase, allowing their children to relive the fun. Next to the Kids’ Lounge, there’s a dedicated kiddie pool, safe for all ages, that is supervised at all times by a gem counselor.
