Dreaming of a couple's getaway but leaving the kids at home isn't an option? Elegant Hotels "familymoon" package may be just the ticket to fun for everyone with a little romance on the side for mom and dad.

Familymoons are offered at four of the company's five properties in Barbados -- Colony Club, Crystal Cove, Turtle Beach and the new Tamarind (formerly Tamarind Cove), which opens Nov. 1. The five-night package includes one half-day and one evening of child care, a romantic dinner for two on the beach, daily breakfast and round-trip airport transfers. Family friendly activities include complimentary tennis, stand up paddle boarding, snorkelling -- even waterskiing and banana boating at some resorts.

Packages must be booked by Sept. 30 for travel Nov. 1 through Dec. 18. Rates are based on two adults and one child and vary depending on the hotel selected. At Tamarind, the five-night package starts at $1,495 US per room. For details, contact eleganthotels.com or 1-888-996-9948.
