Relaxing is an important part of any tropical vacation and Villa Soleil stands up to the test. The two families that own the villa have six kids between them and lots of experience traveling so we understand your needs. We have tried to make the villa as child-friendly as possible. For instance, if you are traveling with babies or young children we have two cribs, a stroller, a high chair, and a booster seat at the house. If your group includes teenagers or older adult singles the separate downstairs is a great place for them to "hang out" and have some space away from the parents. We're also sure you and your kids will enjoy the following amenities:

• Pool - whether it's practicing for snorkeling or scuba certification, dunking your brother, or going for a romantic midnight swim after the kids are in bed the pool seems to be always in use.

• Cable TV, VCR and library - our video cassette library has over 60 titles from Barney to Top Gun

• Board games - family faves like Sorry, Life and Monopoly

• Deck/Hammock - for reading, sleeping, or whatever mood strikes you

• Stereos - upper and lower level stereos plus the portable boombox for the deck means no fighting over whose music we have to listen to...

• Nintendo game system and games

• Beach and pool toys
