Speaking about the family trip to US Weekly, a source said: "Jen feels it is most beneficial for the kids to have their father present."
And the vacation is believed to have been a "great opportunity" for the family to regain a sense of normality in their lives, even though the pair have insisted they have not rekindled their romance.
The source added: "It was a great opportunity to keep the norm going for the kids.
"Jen will always do whatever it takes to provide the best arrangements for them that she can."
Jennifer, Ben and their children stayed in the tranquil resort at Baker's Bay in Great Guana Cay, which is rumoured to be the same site the former 'Alias' star whisked herself away to two years ago when the former couple first announced their break up.
