Firsthand Insight from Stephanie Howard
I’m Stephanie Howard, founder of Traveling Ears Vacations. Multigenerational trips are some of the most rewarding vacations I plan—but they only work when everyone isn’t expected to do everything together. Beaches allows each generation to enjoy the vacation at their own pace.
Why Beaches Works for Multigenerational Trips
Beaches Resorts is designed around flexibility.
- All-inclusive pricing simplifies budgeting across generations
- Activities span multiple energy levels
- No pressure to stay together all day
- Easy meeting points for shared meals
Experience for Grandparents
Grandparents often enjoy:
- Relaxed pool and beach areas
- Casual dining without planning
- Watching grandkids enjoy activities
- Optional participation rather than obligation
The ability to opt in—or out—makes the trip enjoyable rather than exhausting.
Experience for Parents
Parents benefit from shared support and flexibility.
- Kids clubs reduce supervision load
- Meals are easy with multiple age groups
- Grandparents can join or rest as needed
Parents often report lower stress than on traditional group trips.
Experience for Kids
Kids typically thrive in multigenerational settings at Beaches.
- Waterparks and activities keep them engaged
- Freedom to move between family members
- Age-based programming offers independence
Together Time vs Separate Time
Successful multigenerational trips balance connection and independence.
- Shared meals create daily touchpoints
- Morning or evening group time works best
- Midday flexibility prevents burnout
Beaches supports this balance naturally.
Room Strategy for Multigenerational Groups
Room configuration is critical.
- Separate rooms near each other
- Multi-bedroom suites for shared space
- Quiet locations for older travelers
