You’ve probably heard the old adage about family holidays. If you’re taking the kids with you, it’s not a vacation – it’s a work trip.
Forget all those visions of lounging by the pool, holding a paperback in one hand and a cocktail in the other. The reality of traveling with children – whether they’re toddlers or tweens – is that it’s very easy for your blissful, relaxing vacation to very quickly turn into a series of chores and errands, like an extension of your everyday crazy, only with extra sunscreen.
Yes, taking the children on holiday is amazing. It’s rewarding, it’s enriching, and it brings your family closer together. But let’s be honest: it’s also about as relaxing as taking a Tube ride during rush hour.
But there’s one resort that thinks it doesn’t have to be this way, where it’s possible to have a family holiday that doesn’t leave you so exhausted you feel like you need another one. All that’s required is accepting a little help. Or a lot of help. Or, well, just as much help as you need, delivered to you by the sort of professional aide who has been helping busy families maintain their hectic schedules and keep everything running smoothly since the Middle Ages.
We’re talking about a butler.

The vision of a butler at this glorious enclave in the Caribbean is something closer to a chaperone, tour guide, personal concierge, therapist and vacation planner, all rolled into one. The butlers here don’t spend the day waiting on you hand and foot. What they do is help you navigate your way around every single attraction or diversion that this sprawling all-inclusive resort has to offer. Which is lucky, because what it has to offer is pretty much everything.
