Journalist Francesca Street probably got more than the usual number of hits when her article ran on the CNN website beneath this title: “How to Plan a Group Vacation Without Everyone Hating Each Other”! If you’ve felt similarly fearful each time you consider taking the lead on a group trip to the Caribbean, Street suggests following her advice, all of which is based on her own group travel getaways.

• Be purposeful when issuing invitations. Bringing together people who don’t know each other could be disastrous while folks who have vacationed together in the past are more likely to get along.
• Set a reasonable budget and insist on sticking to it. Street cites Chelsea Dickenson, founder of Cheap Holiday Expert, who recommends creating “a questionnaire for your friends” to help avoid budget spats despite the fact that you’ve all agreed to split every cost evenly. The Splitwise app can help with that.
• Choose a Caribbean destination that specializes in group arrangements. Laru Beya Resort, on the lush Placencia peninsula, is a perfect choice because the location is ideal and there are three-bedroom family suites available that sleep up to 8 guests.
• Save big bucks with Laru Beya’s All Inclusive Package that bundles digs, meals, onsite amenities, and more.
• Your group may wish to tack on a Best of Belize Add-On or decide to stick to onsite amenities.
• Master the art of balance. Planning is great. Allowing room for spontaneous opportunities requires enough flexibility in your group’s dynamic to allow for surprises and unexpected discoveries.
• Agree to settle disputes when they arise. Even one person’s bad mood can overshadow a fun shared experience.
• Importantly, cherish every moment of your stay. These friends will be in your life long after this vacation comes to an end, and every member of your group benefits from bringing home awesome memories of a fun and successful sojourn.
