Families traveling with kids tend to spend a majority of their time on-property, so it's important for parents to find resorts that don't just accept children, but that truly welcome them.
PENNINGTON, N.J. – After a long winter, families are gearing up for warm summer escapes, and interest in all-inclusive resorts remains strong in 2014.
