mommyto2kids Posted July 29, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2011 We are currently trying to decide on the best beach activity for our family. We are travelling with another family and between us there will be 4 adults and 5 kids. The kids range is ages 3, 6, 7, 9, 15. The options that we have looked at are: Take a cab to Paradise Beach Pros - little money up front, only pay for cab and $12 wrist band for kids Cons - food, drinks etc. are not included Beach Break through Carnival - Playa Maya Pros - still relatively inexpensive ($112 for family of 5), open bar Cons - still have to rent a cab, not great reviews about the beach area Beach Break Deluxe through Carnival - Playa Maya Pros - all inclusive and includes transportation Cons - most expensive $268 for family of 5. There is also the Isla Passion option, but I have read that people prefer Playa Maya. I'm looking for opinions about experience you had had. I expect that I will pay about the same regardless of where I go after I factor in the extra costs so I am really looking for the best experience.

JohninDC Posted July 29, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Two or 3 of your kids will likely be too small/young to enjoy the toys that come with the $12 wrist bands at Paradise without constant attention from a parent - will you get your $12 each of enjoyment out of that? :confused: You might look at the AI option at Mr. Sanchos or Nachi Cocom. Water toys and a pool and a nice beach at Mr. Sanchos. No water toys, but a very quiet and relaxing beach, along with a pool (w/swim-up bar) at Nachi. Both places have good food, drinks and service - we prefer Nachi. I would choose one of the above or go with your Paradise beach option before going on either Playa Mia excursion. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
