Yes, there are many activities for children. Every morning there was one scheduled activity with resort staff. This included kite making, bracelet making, face painting, scavenger hunt, etc. There is also a bubble ceremony every evening, which is the children's version of the champagne sabering. It was fun, they provided non-alcoholic beverages and we noticed they handed out better toys earlier in the week when there was lower attendance.
We did the water obstacle course, life vests were available in all sizes adults & kids. Kayaking and biking were kid friendly options. Most children seemed to spend their time in or at the pool, at the beach in the sand or the ocean, or enjoying the grounds activities like soccer ball, volleyball.
The zero entry pool area was perfect for our toddler. There were floats and beach balls available around the pool. There were more children than adults in the hot tub. The beach bar has a bin full of sand toys for the taking. There are oversized connect four games around the pool & beach area. There are kid size soccer nets and balls. There is a volleyball net and balls. There are two bocce courts. There are pickleball and tennis.
We did the nature tour, which I suggest booking upon arrival. We went to the kids club once which had a nice selection of toys & games but we weren't looking to spend much time indoors. My son enjoyed being whisked around the property in the golf carts. Speaking of which, we took golf carts to the wellness center which had a surprisingly a highlight. The nice folks at the juice bar have a stash of bird & fish food, and on the back deck, you can feed the fish, turtles and red headed ducks. This is a hidden gem. We filled our feed cup many times and tipped the juice bar staff accordingly. There is also the nightly coy fish feeding at Casa Grande. We enjoyed both but the wellness center feeding was far & away the better experience.
We enjoyed spotting the large lizard Komodo dragons(?) on the property. The dragons should have been part of the scavenger hunt instead of clouds, trees and rocks. Honestly the scavenger hunt needs a refurb but at least they gave us a sweet treat upon completion.
We enjoyed the turndown cookies and the welcome gift toy bag in our room upon arrival. Housekeeping had a toddler size robe & slippers delivered.
Otherwise, the nature of this place was enough to keep us all entertained. My three year old was never bored and did not want to leave.
