I'm surprised no one has mentioned La Vista. It's conveniently located on Billy Folly Road, and smaller and more Caribbean than the big resorts. The beach there isn't really swimmable, but we go to the other beaches on the island pretty much every day, so that doesn't matter to us. Finding accommodations for three families might be difficult there, but it's certainly worth trying.
