" The Explorer's Club, which is included in your All-Inclusive room rate/Unlimited-Luxury® privileges, is wonderful not only for kids — who have the time of their lives  — but for parents who finally get time of their own. Created especially for youngsters 3-12 years old, all Explorer's Clubs are fully and professionally supervised and filled with adventures kids will really enjoy and treasure.

Time flies by for the kids with daily activities based around nature, science and exploration. Hunting for hidden treasure. Splashing into the sea from an ocean trampoline. Playing Charades. Sandcastle competitions. Tennis Clinics for kids. Creative arts and crafts. Even movies on the beach! The Kids Explorer Club is available from 9am to 10pm daily.

Once a week, the Explorer's Club offers a camping adventure on the beach as well! They'll make new friends from around the world, while parents reconnect with each other. And no worries, because the entire Explorer's Club staff is certified in both CPR and First Aid and parents get a pager should they be needed for any reason. "
