[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just realized you want to go in june. Why not just drive to a local beach in June? Cape May, Bethany, Outer Banks, VA Beach? Never understood why people would want to fly to Florida or the Caribbean in the summer. Don't get me wrong. We love going to Riviera Maya and other warm destinations in the winter but have no desire to fly down there during the summer.[/quote]

I think we are just looking for something different. We've done DelMarVa beaches every summer, and I've spent almost every other vacation of my life in south Florida. I really need something to look forward to right now, and I haven't traveled for pleasure much in years because DH isn't into it. I feel like this is a prime opportunity to finally get him on board with something exciting and maybe a little more exotic than OBX or Boca/Ft Lauderdale. Somewhere new and tropical. We might just go with one of these big resorts with mixed reviews in Cancun or DR, or possibly a good Florida option on the Gulf side if I find one.[/quote]

Sorry to burst your bubble but staying on a resort in Mexico or DR isn't really exotic. We really loved staying at Rosewood Mayakoba when we had 2 kids. The beach wasn't great. Weather was perfect and service was top notch. It also cost us like $1400 per night. We were paying for the nice resort.

I personally thought Four Seasons Orlando was awesome with kids. You may want to check it out. There are a lot of nice resorts in Orlando that are kid friendly and more reasonably priced. I'd personally go that route than some second class all inclusive in Mexico or DR. I was going to recommend Beaches Turks and Caicos but it won't fit your budget. You may want to check out Atlantis. The Beach Tower is cheap or there is a Holiday Inn or other cheaper hotel that is adjacent that gives you full access to Atlantis for a cheaper cost. [/quote]

Rosewood and the Four Seasons are both very expensive properties and totally out of OP's budget.  Suggesting she stay away from a "second class all inclusive" and then proposing alternatives in a completely different price range isn't that useful.[/quote]

I was simply saying that the Mexican beach was not great and that we were paying for the actual resort, not necessarily the destination. I suggested Atlantis and Four Seasons Orlando off season could be in her budget. Also said there were a lot of other nice resorts in Orlando.

A second class resort in DR and Mexico is not better than a nicer resort in Florida. JMO.[/quote]
