The children's program at Rosewood Little Dix Bay reflects the same thoughtfulness
and focus on environmental appreciation espoused by Laurance S. Rockefeller
in the founding days of the resort. Set amongst the shade of a mahogany
preserve is the Children's Grove, where creative and indigenous activities
delight children of all ages. With over 2,500 sq. ft. of interior
space, the Children's Grove is unique in the Caribbean. The facility
boasts a miniature Caribbean chattel house, dress-up parlor, arts
and crafts center, shipwreck, outside
play area and many other exciting tropical activities.
Led by experienced, fun-loving and caring staff, children participate
in nature walks, shell collecting, treasure hunts and other recreations
that bring them in direct contact with Little Dix's beautiful environs.
Children may also delight in stone painting, Caribbean folk art and
literature and West Indian musical instrument crafts, all of which
will become precious mementos of their visit.
Days of Operation:
Closed Thursdays & Sundays
Please note that from Sept. 6-Oct. 31, our Children's facility will be relocated to one of our beautiful cottages, situated close to the Beach House and Beach Grill restaurants. Our counselors host many activities during the day for children of all ages to join in on a complimentary basis. Private babysitting and nanny services will continue to be an option at regular hourly rates. Please do not hesitate to contact the resort at 284.495.5555 or littledixbay@rosewoodhotels.com for additional details.

Nannies & Babysitting Services
Little Dix Bay is happy to offer our guests a selection of nannies throughout the seasons.
However, the nanny is not hired by the resort for this service. They
are hired and paid for directly by the guest at the time of the care.
A minimum 24-hours notice is requested so we may appropriately meet
your family's requirements (however we will do everything possible
to fill your needs at any time). Rates are approximately $12 per
hour for up to two related children, plus $3 per hour for one additional
related child (maximum of three children per nanny; maximum of two
if children are both under three years old). If you need further
information or wish to arrange for a nanny, please contact the Children's
Grove at ext. 302.
Dining
Children's menus are available in the Beach Grill for lunch and
in The Pavilion for dinner, or through Room Service. Children under

Grove Monday through Saturday. Reservations are required. High chairs
