Activities for Children

The Ritz Kids experience begins the moment our young guests arrive at the property and receive a V.I.K (Very Important Kid) passport upon check-in containing instructions and clues for one of two exciting adventures: a Treasure Hunt for children aged 4-7, and a Culture Quest for children aged 8-12. The fun-filled quests encourage our young guests to interact with their surroundings and with other children their age while a colorful V.I.K wristband, given as a prize for completing the adventure, makes for a great trophy and souvenir.



For the enjoyment of our younger guests, and the convenience of their parents, the Ritz Kids Club, available to children between the ages of 4 and 12, is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday and from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays.  The Ritz Kids Club offers an extensive program of supervised activities, both indoors and outdoors, and is a great opportunity for our young guests to intermingle with kids of their own age group.
Lunch and dinner are served at the Ritz Kids Club, and the parents can enroll their children for the whole day or for certain activities, at their convenience. However, reservations are required as space may be limited.

Every day begins with a “Wake up and Shape up”, during which the children are taught different dance moves and warm up exercises to music, shaking them awake and energizing them for the rest of the day.

Throughout the day, our young guests are kept engaged in a variety of organized activities. The indoor activities include, among other things, designing and creating jewelry, making their own puzzle or a fridge magnet, decorating cookies, colouring and drawing competition and watching movies. Different activity stations are set up throughout the Kids Club, from PlayStation and the Nintendo Wii, to Lego, jigsaws, words-searches, colour-by number and other games.

The outdoor activities include participating in obstacle course races, table tennis tournaments, treasure hunts, and various swimming pool and beach activities, as well as playing at the “Splash Park”, a rainbow coloured pad with water jets and sprinklers, located conveniently between the swimming pool and the beach.

The children are also engaged in organized arts and crafts, which in addition to providing a fun- filled way to spend the day, also leaves them with a personalized and handmade souvenir to remember their vacation by. These arts and crafts include designing a personalized picture frame, creating an ancient treasure map, tie - dying a T - shirt, writing and illustrating a storybook, and creating friendship bracelets to share with newfound friends at the Kids Club or with those back home.
