Family Trip ideas - Cancun?
So, the wife and I were trying to think of something fun this summer... our kids will be 6, 8 and 10. We've been to Florida beaches a few times and thought maybe we try a quick 3-4 night trip down to Cancun.

I've been a few times, but not with kids.

Do any of you have ideas/suggestions on where to look for good deals? Are there resorts that are more kid/family friendly than others? I don't want to spend a ton, but I also don't want to stay in a bad location either.

Thanks in advance...

Not sure what you're looking to spend but the Beaches Resorts in Jamaica and the Turks are very nice and are built with families in mind.

I can't imagine trying to manage kids outside the exit of the cancun airport where all of the cabbies basically attack you and try to trick you into taking their cab.

With that being said, El Cid resort was awesome, calm, clean, friendly, and decently priced. It's about 20 minutes south of Cancun. I recommend it.

There is no way I would hang around Cancun, esp with kids.

Good suggestions so far.

Another option is to head to the Island of Women.

Isla Mujeres.

This island is real close to cancun, but so much better. You can take the bus to the ferry and all in all 1 hour away.

Do NOT take a cab anywhere outa Cancun airport. Get a bus schedule, or arrange something prior to get out of the terminal area.

Jesus Christ, Cancun is by far the biggest piece of shit place to go in Mexico and you want to take your kids there? Go to one of the all inclusive resorts in Playa Del Carmen instead and thank me later, they are approximately 8 billion times nicer and safer for your family.

Took the Family to Atlantis is the Bahamas over X-Mas. Major hit with the wife and kids. It's expensive, but shit, everything is.

Yeah, we're looking there as well... that looks like a really fun experience.

And, we're not sold on Cancun guys (hence the ?) and the request for ideas. By the way, thanks for the suggestions so far.
