I would say Mexico - but I really have no clue why.
Oh - and I didn't have my coffee yet (it's brewing) so you know both know I can't think without it!

DH has been asking to go away for a while and I keep saying no. I think we need to get away with the kids to spend some time together. Especially if we want a 3rd. We haven't gone away in 3 years

(I'm up...fed DS made coffee all by 7)
but on to your question:
I say it depends on the time of year. You don't want to go to the Caribbean during hurricane season.

Re: which place would you think is better for a family vacation?
I am going with the Dominican Republiuc bc all that I hear about is "all inclusives". There nothing like not worrying about bills while travelling with small kids. To me Mexico was more party-ish and thats okay if you have a sitter. Personally, I would check out Turks and Caicos.

I am looking for all inclusive too, so DR and Mexico were the 2 most popular that I was looking at. Aruba also offers 2 hotels but they are a little more than I want to spend. Turks and Caicos looks gorgeous but just to much for me to spend right now.
Which hotel are you staying in and for how many days?

Re: which place would you think is better for a family vacation?
We did go to Playa Del Carmen a few years ago in Mexico - all inclusive. I believe it was called Iberostar. Look into them - they have a few different resorts throughout Mexico. They may list if some are more kid friendly.
See - I am much more helpful with coffee in my system!

November is a great time, but the flights can get $$$$$

Re: which place would you think is better for a family vacation?
I'm going with DR. While I've never been there, our friends rave about the places they stayed, the food, etc.
DH & I went to Puerto Vallarta in April (Dreams Resort) and absolutely loved it. All of my coworkers' kids loved the kid camps they had.
The only reason why I would pick DR over Mexico is it's a quicker flight.

Re: which place would you think is better for a family vacation?
I've been to DR, so I'd say Mexico. We went to a place in Nueva Vallerta once that seemed very family friendly (an all-inclusive type place). There was a ton to do at the resort and we took day trips to see the jungle where Predator was filmed!

I was thinking about the flights too but direct to Mexico was about 4 hours that I was finding which wasn't bad.
While looking at DR, I noticed it was cheaper too.
Where are you staying and for how many nights?

Much better
I am looking into the Iberostar hotels actually and their are 4 in Playa Del Carmen. Do you remember which one you stayed it.
I did find the Melia hotle to look like the most kid friendly with toddler programs if I wanted but not sure about the hotel.
This is why I don't go away

Of course I looked on the website and couldn't remember....so I thought maybe I did a post about it - and sure enough - I did. Here is the link (other people responded - and maybe it will be helpful for you now!)

I swear - this site is like my diary. I would have no memories if I couldn't come here and look them up!

Re: which place would you think is better for a family vacation?
I would go to Aruba.......we have been there and saw many families with children and having a great time. We stay at the Radisson and they have a kiddie pool, the beach is right there and you can get a hut right by the water.....We are trying to plan something for next year....

We stayed there for our Honeymoon and loved it. I think it is so kid friendly too. I am just so confused

Re: which place would you think is better for a family vacation?
totally depends on the resort. I would check out resorts at both and see which fits your family's needs best.
