After investigating activities that require us to leave the kids behind, the key issue is child care. We didn’t pick the resort, but turns out it is in the the Top 10 Best Caribbean Resorts for Families, according to Child.com. 
So here are the options that were outlined by the Sheraton call center (at 1-877-OUR-LUCAYA) by a fairly knowledgeable sales rep:
Daytime
- Age 3-12 - 9:00 am - 6:00 pm - Camp Lucaya, FREE, available without reservation. A locked child care facility with 4-5 caregivers on staff at all times
- Age 0-3 - 9:00 am - 6:00 pm - two half day periods. Babies from 0-1 can only stay for 1 of the 2 shifts. This seems like a good policy. (not sure if this is FREE or not)
Evening
- 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm: evening group program, for $25 including dinner. This seems like a great deal! But can infants really participate in this program? Need to validate.
- 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm: in room care. $15 for 1 child and $20 for 2 child. The rep was not sure if this was per hour or for the whole night! I suspect it is a per hour charge.
It is ridiculously hard to find this info on the internet, and the reps don’t always have the information on their screen. But its critical for our activity planning to know we have some child care coverage!
I will correct and validate this when I find out more (probably when we get there at this point). We are too crazy dealing with getting out the door at this point, wrapping up things at work, trying to pack. get organized. It is the storm before the calm…welcome to family travel…
