By Robert Haru Fisher
December 3, 2002

Viva Resorts down in the Caribbean is hauling out its value-added all-inclusive rates and the "Kids Stay, Play and Eat FREE" programs once again, just in time to fight off that winter chill. With the rates for adults starting as flow as $105 per person in winter, $88 in spring, it's ideal for family getaways. What's more, the resorts are all-inclusive.

All-inclusive at a Viva Resort property includes lodging; full breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks; unlimited beverages, cocktails and wine; daily activities and fitness programs; unlimited non-motorized watersports with complimentary lessons; enrollment in the Viva Kids Club (for children aged 4 to 12); live nightly entertainment; all taxes, surcharges, gratuities; and more.

Children under 12 are invited to stay, play and eat free at all Viva Resorts properties when sharing a room with two paying adults (maximum of two children per room). The Kids Club features supervised daily activities, allowing children to participate in several age-specific activities while parents are off on their own. The club offers tennis, drawing and painting, archery, ping pong, windsurfing, mini tournaments, kayaking, volleyball, sandcastle building, board games, pool games, talent shows, puzzles, video games, horseback riding and face painting. The club is open daily from 9 until 6. Babysitting services are also available for a nominal fee.
