[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which is better for a beach vacation with kids: Puerto Rico, DR, Aruba, Bahamas, or Mexico?  Talking about staying at a resort the whole time and really want nice sand and clear water.[/quote]

Not DR (crummy beaches)

Aruba: check out Divi. The high rises further down the beach are nice, but crowded.

Mexico: might be what you’re looking for. Splurge for a nice resort.

Bahamas: like Mexico, but closer and with better beaches. Crowded unless you go with a higher end, boutique resort.

PR: can you afford Ritz Dorado or another villa in Dorado? Or Four Seasons? Rent a car. The island is fun and safe. Don’t stay put at the resort. Explore! FTR, we’ve stayed at a mix of hotels (not high end), and still have a blast.

Plenty of islands in the Caribbean are better than the ones you listed, fwiw. [/quote]

Thank you!  This is very helpful.  Which other islands should I look at for resorts with kids?  We've never been to the Caribbean.  We generally do middle of the road Marriott hotels, so not super luxury.[/quote]
