All inclusives are great when you want to go kick back and not make any plans, leave the property for dinners,etc. It's nice with kids because you can have a few hours of free time during the day if you want and they usually have kid events around dinner so you and your mate can have a nice dinner. Personally, I think they are great but now that the kids are older we don't do AIs anymore, we do more adventurous trips. You might be able to pull it off for $5K- kids are free at many places.

do you recommend a specific time of the year for Playa del Carmen?

Paradisus in Playa Del Carmen was only about $300-$400/night for my family of 4 and shockingly luxurious especially for the price. Really awesome kids club.

We didn't because of the extra cost and we're introverts and kind of didn't want someone around and helping us out all the time. But others definitely raved about that option. You get use of an extra private pool too. But we had a perfectly great time without that splurge. (And I should note that I'm very picky about hotels and vacations!)

I second the DR. The beaches are great. Check out the Royalton, they have a beach front resort and then a farther back resort with a waterpark but you have access to both and they have a golf cart shuttle like every 5 minutes. We stayed at the beach front but went back and forth often with the kids. I think the waterpark side would be less expensive. Sand is white, water is blue. Lots of resorts along that stretch of beach.

How old are your kids PP? And would you consider them introverts too? And they were willing to do kids club? We took a Disney cruise and while the kids club seemed great, my kids really just want to be with us (ages 5 and 8.)
