We have stayed at several all inclusives in Playa del Carmen- Riu Palaces are really nice resorts. 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.

Beaches Tircks & Cuicos is amazing, however unfortunately it's above our budget.

We've been to Turks and Caicos and it really wasn't that big of a deal.

We liked Atlantis better. Atlantis isn't all inclusive but your hotel is cheaper. You can get groceries and save on food. I personally don't like all inclusives.

Stayed here 2 years ago. Absolutely loved it.

Have you looked at any of the resorts along seven mile beach on Grand Cayman? I know the Westin has a waterfront property (haven't stayed there, but looked beautiful). Not sure about kids club or all inclusive, but it meets your white sand criteria. There are a lot of resorts along that same beach, so you might be able to find one that meets your needs.

Can you go without the white sand beach? Bc you can get all that on a cruise ship. If you head to the Caribbean, you can go to beaches at most/all ports.

Not gonna happen for $5k. Not even close unless OP is fine just going for 2-3 nights.

At a friend's recommendation I looked at all the Carribean and Mexico Club Meds. Sounds like everything you want.

Note: an AI will likely be far more expensive than another resort...and it's a waste unless you plan to eat and drink a lot. DH and I aren't big drinkers, so we steer clear.

Everyone I know has loved Beaches T&C...but it's not cheap.

Hi,

Will appreciate your recommendations for a great all inclusive young kids friendly resort ( kids pool ( water slides might be a great addition ) , kids club and activities ) with white sand beach ( mom's dream... )
Family of 2 adults, 2 kids, budget of 5000$.

Thank you!
