Best AI resort

[Anonymous]

Are there any kid-friendly AI’s that actually feel like luxury to you? I’ve been considering Beaches resorts, Hyatt Ziva, Hilton La Romana but everywhere has mixed reviews. I’m looking for good food, nice beach, and fun activities for the kids. Looking at AI because one of my kids will be 2 months post-surgery on his leg and I’d like him to have to option to do as little or as much as he’s able to.

No.

And you aren't going to get "good food" at a kid-friendly AI.

Xcaret was pretty darn nice, but I'd only choose it for a kid who is capable of being fully active, as part of what you are paying for is access to adventure parks and you need to be fully mobile to take advantage of those.

Is this related to Velas Vallarta? We went here two years in a row with kids aged 5-16, our family, parents and sister's family. It was lovely. I thought the food was good, the kids loved it. Beautiful resort, fun activities, great pool. Only drawback for us was the beach. The waves were very big and rough. You could not get in.

Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres was one of the nicer AIs I've been too. It had also been recently renovated so it had a modern feel.

Mostly true, but not absolute. The food at the aforementioned Xcaret Mexico is superb.

Their sister resort (which does not allow kids) Arte is even better, and their exclusive one Casa De La Playa has four restaurants by Michelin chefs and is the best food I have had at any AI. Also gives you full access to all 3 resorts and their restaurants and amenities. But it will cost $3K a night.
