Offered across the Rosewood collection of hotels and resorts, the innovative and educational Rose Buds® program provides Rosewood’s youngest guests with special services, amenities and activities designed for parents’ convenience and children’s fun. For a family-friendly luxury vacation, Rose Buds offers activities that engage, entertain and delight.
For younger children, a range of special experiences teaches them about the natural environment, wildlife, food, music and art in the locations. Each program, inspired by the Montessori Method of teaching, is also guided by the brand’s signature A Sense of Place philosophy and integrates native culture, customs, nature and history.
For older kids, Rose Buds offers a selection of age-appropriate adventures that engage their curiosity and encourage them to learn about and interact with their new environment. These can range from nature tours, local cooking classes and creating music with native instruments to observing the miracle of life along a shoreline, amidst a forest or even in a desert.
Every Rosewood property is fully equipped with essential children’s items, from portable cribs, proper bedding, baby baths, diaper pails, monitors and bottle warmers to bibs, booster seats, car seats, prams and specialty items such as luxury robes, slippers and skincare products especially designed for our youngest guests.
Here’s a sampling of the Rosebuds programming across the Caribbean and Mexico. They have the following fabulous hotels to choose from and we’ve highlighted some details from the Rose Buds program at a few resorts.
