Nachi Cocum, Mr. Sanchos or Playa Mia with kids

[Vacationlover2]

Hey all,

 

It looks like there will be 7 or 8 ships there with us. We would like to do a fun, active all inclusive. We have 2 kids, 8 and 11. We love to swim, etc and also hate to wait in lines for drinks, etc. Which place is best for us?

With kids that age I suspect Playa Mia, with the toys and waterpark will be the best fit for you -- look for reviews by Mitsugirly; she has one for all three places linked in the signature of some of her posts.

First, all of the clubs share the same stretch of beach and all have at least 1 similarly sized pool. (Sanchos also has a tiny one for ala carte guests)

 

Nachi if the 100 person limit is the most important aspect...

But the least fun for kids, with just 1 water trampoline and mostly couples and older folks enjoying the quiet.

 

 

Playa Mia if you want your kids to have the most activities to do all day.

(Playa Mia has a big kiddie pool and water slides, which no one else has. Plus two adult pools and the same in water inflatables that Mr. Sanchos and Paradise Beach have.)

Mitsugirly's great review with tons of pictures of Playa Mia, so you can see the facilities.

Mr. Sanchos if you don't want the park entrance fee at Playa Mia or the AI fee at Nachi. (sanchos has the AI too, but also offers the Non-AI which Nachi does not. But I am always happy to pay the $55 at Nachi for the 100 person limit.) But no limit.

Her Mr. Sanchos review starts halfway down the page...

Paradise Beach is the cheapest option, but again, no limit on how many passengers they take.

 

Hope that helps narrow it down for you...

I can't say what I think is best for your family...but my husband and our two children went to Nachi in August 2011 and we loved it. Kids had a lot a fun, loved the pool. It is a very relaxing low key place.

 

We are going again in April and Nachi was their first pick. My children ages now are 14 and 12.

 

Have fun where ever you go!:)
