Planning a family vacation is one of the most exciting moments of the year, but it also requires making smart decisions to ensure comfort, savings and memorable experiences for every member of the household. Among the many options available, family packages have become one of the best choices, as they combine lodging, activities and services into a single rate, making trip planning much easier.
If you’re considering a family lodging option, here’s a clear guide to help you choose.
1. Identify your family’s real needs Before reviewing packages, it’s important to be clear about the type of experience you’re looking for. This will help you choose between plans that include recreation, water areas, cultural offerings or simply rest and relaxation.
Ask yourself:
• How many people are traveling and what are their ages? • Are you looking for a warm weather, a beach setting or a nature destination? • Do you prefer nearby destinations or are you open to farther experiences? • Do you need organized daytime activities? • Will you be traveling with pets?
For example, those seeking warm weather and family fun will find attractive options at the Cafam Melgar Vacation Center, while those who prefer the beach may consider packages to travel to Cartagena
2. Check what’s included and what additional benefits are offered The advantage of a family plan is that it brings together multiple services in a single rate. To make an informed decision, review the following aspects:
• Type of room and number of nights • Meals (included, partial, or discounted) • Access to recreational areas or guided experiences • Pools, parks, trails or children’s areas • Family, sports, or cultural activities • Programming for children and teenagers
Benefits for Cafam affiliates One of Cafam’s differentiators is that many of our plans include access to recreational spaces, scheduled activities and preferential rates, making the experience easier and reducing additional expenses.
3. Evaluate the destination’s location and logistical ease Distance, access and surroundings significantly influence the comfort of a family trip. Some people prefer destinations close to major cities for ease of travel, while others look for experiences by the sea or in nature-filled environments.
Cafam offers strategic alternatives in both warm weather and coastal destinations, allowing families to choose according to their preferences.
4. Make sure the experience includes activities for all ages A good family vacation plan should offer entertainment for every member. It’s advisable to look for options that include:
• Guided recreational activities • Pools for different age groups • Children’s areas • Cultural or sports activities • Nighttime entertainment options • Spaces for adult relaxation
One of Cafam’s hallmarks is its recreational programming, which often includes activities for children, youth and adults, allowing everyone to enjoy at their own pace.
5. Consider pricing policies and affiliation benefits One of the greatest advantages of traveling with Cafam is that the Compensation Fund offers differentiated rates based on affiliation category, which can result in significant savings compared to other tourism providers.
When choosing a package, review:
• Affiliate discounts • Seasonal promotions • Special packages for extended families • Exclusive plans by category
This will help you find options with an excellent cost-benefit ratio.
6. Review plan flexibility and change policies When traveling as a family, unexpected situations can arise. That’s why reviewing the flexibility of the selected program is key. Make sure you’re clear about:
• Date changes • Cancellation policies • Plan validity • Vigencia del plan • Services that require advance reservations
Cafam’s tourism offerings typically feature clear terms and ongoing support to ensure a smooth experience from planning through your return.
