What Type of Traveler Are You?

With all kinds of different people and personalities, vacation may not mean the same thing to everyone.

And of course, some land somewhere within the middle. Those who love their fair share of fun and adventures, but surely enjoy lounging by the pool with a drink in hand.

At Kingston Resorts, there’s room for every kind of traveler. With endless ways to customize your stay, from splash-filled water parks and exciting live music to relaxing spa days and delicious cocktails by the ocean, your vacation is sure to create those long-lasting memories.
