I do not want anywhere with towel or drink service. Besides the outrageous cost, these places tend to be crowded - otherwise it wouldnt be with having the towel boy. My kids (6 and 9) literally played for hours on the beach, we popped back to the condo for lunch, then played hours more back at the beach or alternatively the pool. Then quick showers and dinners out nearby. I don't think I've had a more relaxed vacation with kids since they were born.

Disney Cruise was not relaxing at all to me. And you will definitely have to save chairs.

We just got back from a Disney cruise and didn't have to save chairs once.

Some of the Dreams resorts get really good reviews in trip advisor considering they're more moderately priced.

Four Seasons Punta Mita has a lazy river, and wig drink service!

depends on where you go and when. You can look up all AIs online. We liked the Beaches ones. Also loved Club Med

Do they get crowded? Are they nice?

We're going to the Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos in three weeks for this exact stress-free vacation. We are leaving our kid with her grandmother, though, but all the reviews on trip advisor are just great.

I'll let you know how it is!

Just got back from Hyatt Ziva in Montego Bay and loved it. Direct flights out of BWI. Very easy trip...

NP but just wanted to say that we've found Trip Advisor is pretty reliable. We use it for hotel and restaurant recs.

Bluefields in Jamaica, if the budget is really flexible.

Just returned from Four Seasons Orlando. Best vacation ever. Complimentary kids club, all the amenities you could ask for. Lazy river, pools, spa. Housekeeping literally folded our dirty clothes. The trip was excellent in every way. There is something for everyone and nothing not to love.

Look for kids clubs -
Paradisus reserve punta Cana, not beaches as it's crazy crowded but grace bay club Turks, grand caymans has a new Klimpton property but it's added cost for kids clubs but a deal for 2BR and they give credit for 3 hrs a day for 1 kid at kids club. We do not go anywhere on vaca without a kids club but would do one that's not all inclusive - depends on location. Our kids are 4 and 6. Good luck!
