Paradise Beach vs Playa Mia 10 year olds

[cruisequeen8822]

Hello!

 

We're bringing our 10 year olds to Cozumel on Icon this year. They really want to do water inflatables and water trampolines. Which of these resorts is a better fit for us? Not overly concerned about all inclusive as we're not huge drinkers.

Are they strong swimmers?

Yes they are.

I think the facilities at Paradise are probably better maintained - recent reports have stated Playa Mia looking “tired” probably due to it's rumored upcoming renovations. 
 

However Paradise is pushing AI and becomes a very expensive “beach day” IMO especially when you have to add on water park facilities extra. You could take your chances and see if there are walk- up PAYG options at Paradise on the day, if you are prepared to move onto Plan B (Playa Mia) if it is full.

Playa Mia is much more flexible with day pass options with add-ons for things you want/don’t want and has more options around the pools - slides etc. and probably better snorkeling with underwater statues.
