| Please recommend your favorite vacation that was all (or nearly all) inclusive as to activities and good for families with older teens and college kids. Examples, a dude ranch or Xcaret park in Mexico. |
| We enjoyed our day at Xcaret from opening through the evening show. We did not stay onsite. That was a lot less expensive. |
| Dude ranch is perfect for this. Horseback riding and tons of other activities (archery, clay shooting, hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, etc.). Great for multiple generations. |
| Thanks all. OP here and we have done both Xcaret and a dude ranch. I am looking for other similar suggestions. |
| Backroads multisport |
| I am staying home before I go to a dude ranch. |

we did a lodge to lodge rafting trip in Oregon with Row Adventures--only 4 days so it was part of a larger road trip that I planned.
We went to a couple Club Meds when the kids were little and they were lovely. Loads of activities such as sailing, golf lessons, tennis, circus school, etc etc. |
| Check out jungle lodges in Belize. We stayed at Ian Anderson’s Caves Branch Lodge and enjoyed it but there are any number of other similar properties. |
| Safari with Wilderness Safaris, &Beyond, Singita, etc |
| We rented a catamaran for a week and sailed the coastline of Belize. It came with a private chef and we got to choose the activities (scuba, snorkeling, kayaking, island hopping, fishing, etc). |
Not OP, but wondering how much this was. I have looked into it for the BVI and it was about $17-20k for 6 of us. Curious if Belize is cheaper. |
We went to a highly rated one and it was just not our speed...we are not used to luxury accommodations, but it was pretty camp-like for a luxury pricetag |
| I have friends that raved about the REI excursions with their teens if you like that type of thing. https://www.rei.com/travel |
We loved it. All meals included, each family member could sign up for what they wanted. |
These used to be run by REI but now they outsource it to Intrepid (still could be good trips though) |
