No kids here, so can't speak to that. But whatever option you exercise, blocking incoming voicemail is the one thing I would advise against. I don't always have my phone on me, but if there is an emergency, voicemail is still the fastest way to find out about it. As much as I love the hotels in San Pedro, they are not always good at either getting the message accurate or at delivery of whatever message they did get, if they remember to deliver it at all!
