[quote=Anonymous]It depends what you like.

I like seeing different cultures, not in a fake way for tourists (like a fire dance luau for tourists) but just walking around towns and markets and going to places that locals also go.

So if you are like that, l would say avoid resorts and stay in towns.

If you want the all inclusive resort experience then probably any of those you mentioned are fine.

I’m ok in a resort for a couple days but mostly I’m not a resort person so take my recommendations through that lense.

Cozumel is ugly and lacks character.  Worth going to if you’re a diver.

Riveria Maya has some really beautiful spots.  The ruins near Tulum are spectacular - that combo of ruins and nature.  If you go early maybe you can see them with just a few people in an enjoyable way…try to avoid being there when all the tourist buses arrive.  It’s very popular, there are lots of beautiful ruins more off the beaten path - Riveria Maya is pretty overrun.  For example there are some excellent less crowded day trips from Palenque.

I absolutely love Oaxaca and would take teens.  It’s been written about a lot here, do a search.  Have not been to Mexico City yet but l want to go and I’ll take my tween.  [/quote]
