Can you recommend a specific resort, or brand of resort for traveling with a baby?
We really want to get away to somewhere warm (I know this ironic since we live in FL) in Feb. I was thinking the Carribean, but don't know where might be good to be with a little one?

Any suggestions?

1. Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas
2. Almond Beach Village, St. Peter, Barbados
3. Westin and Sheraton at Our Lucaya beach and Golf Resort, Grand Bahama Island
4. 4 Seasons, Nevis
5. Holiday Inn Sunspree, Montego Bay, Jamaica
6. Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort and Spa
7. Beaches Negril, Jamaica
8. Club Med, Punta Cana, Dominican Rep.

Ritz Carltons are fantastic for kids. their complimentary POLO kit (Protect Our Little Ones) is so great. it has all you need to childproof the room. we like to stay on the Club Level. Not only is it great for the food services, the cookie humidor, the more personal concierge service etc, we also love the library full of children's DVDs, CDs, books, games.... They treat all children like gold. it's SO great.

we've also had great experiences for babies/kids at The Four Seasons properties, JW Marriot and Starwood. each had awesome perks for babies, toddlers and children.

I'm looking for recs too! ;) But I did want to comment on one of the resorts listed on the Parents magazine list. We went to the Sandals Negril resort for our honeymoon, and it was one of the most beautiful places that I've ever been to! I remember seeing the Beaches resort as we turned into our resort. But the only drawback I would see with travelling there with the little ones is the trip from the airport to the resort. I think it was 1 1/2 hours on VERY curvey roads. I got a little carsick on the way there. It was definitely worth the bus ride from the airport, but it wasn't the most kid-friendly drive IMO.

Thanks for the info guys. This is a great start!

I will definitely try to find that "child" magazine...sounds like a good one.
