Capella Pedregal Kids Club – The Ultimate Family Getaway
At about this time of year, my husband and I start dreaming of a vacation. A time to sit under the sun soaking up some warm calmness. Then, a little voice reminds me “hi mommy hi mommy hi mommy!” Oh, yeah. The little ones. Summer vacations can be tons of fun with the kids, but relaxing they are not.
Not so, says Capella Pedregal, a resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
This exclusive Cabo San Lucas hideaway invites family travelers to experience its new, activity-packed Capella Kids Club for free throughout the months of July and August. Let me repeat that…free kiddy care ALL DAY LONG (or half day, too).
The Capella Kids Club gives your kids cool things to do while you, my frazzled parent friend, sit there doing nothing. Imagine that.
Kids can enjoy their own Club House, have beach walks and fly kites, build sand castles and play board game Olympics. Children can learn to cook Mexican specialties and even speak a little Spanish. There are arts and crafts, tennis and swimming, scavenger hunts and swimming with dolphins. Yes, dolphins. This might be a little too adventurous for some, but the idea is way cool.
And, on Thursday evenings, parents can enjoy a date night while youngsters gather for Movies Under the Stars, featuring the latest kids flick screened in the beachside Palapa, complete with snacks.
If you can’t make it before August, then Kids club is still available. The rates are $25 per child for a half day (9 a.m. – 12 noon or 12 noon – 3 p.m.) and $50 per child for a full day (9 a.m. – 3 p.m.). Both rates include lunch and the full-day rate includes a daily snack as well. Nanny service is also offered for $30 per hour for 1-2 children.
And, if you don’t want to check your kids into the club, then you can select from a few fun activities throughout the day like the Swim Experience, featuring private swim or snorkeling lessons in an oceanside pool ($60 for 30 minutes and $100 for 60 minutes), Yoga for Kids with a certified yoga instructor ($30 for 60 minutes, offered three days a week) and Laughter Yoga ($30 for 60 minutes, offered two days a week).
Oh, and for the more go getter type of vaca…Capella Pedregal has arranged a special rate through National Car Rental that puts a full-size or premium car at guests’ disposal that starts at $70 per day. Though why you’d want to leave the resort is beyond me.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, Capella Pedregal is not cheap. Rooms start at $525 a night and go up – way up – from there. So while the Kids Club may be free for July and August, you’ll still be paying a lot to be there. But doesn’t it sound worth it?
I’m there in my head already…now, I just have to find the time and money to book it!
