Question by JimmyD: What is the best place in Mexico for a family vacation?
We are looking for a place to relax in Mexico. We are a family of 5, middle class, actively interested in the culture and exploring in Mexico AND getting out of the cold. Our plan is to fly late March 2006 & spend a week playing on the beach, body surfing, hiking and any other fun outdoor activities. We also love authentic Mexican food.

Every year my family goes to Bucerias, Nayarit, Mexico. It’s just north of Puerto Vallarta (so it’s much less touristy) and it’s a very nice little town. There is a main resort there called Decameron, and there are several villas , large and small, that you can rent for reasonable prices. If you like activity, it’s right on a beautiful beach on the Pacific wit parasailing, banana boats, fishing tours, and all sorts of other activities. The town is full of places to get classic mexican cuisine, but you can also drive into Puerto Vallarta (about 30 minutes). If you went there you would fly into Puerto Vallarta, where if you try and find extra seats on a charter flight, can get an amazing deal.

    Xcaret a resort/nature theme park is about 40 minutes away from the Cancun airport. It is an all inclusive resort with great mexican, carribbean, and southwest restaurants inside. The nature theme park has snorkeling, underground rivers you can swim through, and lots of native animals.(leopards, monkeys, etc.) Great beaches also and breakfast and lunch buffets.

    If you want beatiful beaches, a nice quiet town, and a family vacation try Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo its like Cancun but not very crowded and its family oriented.

    I would also say Ixtapa. Its smaller but more for a family. They don’t have all the fast food restaurants like most of the other vacations spots in mexico. Its very hot with every day around 90 and not a cloud in the sky.
