I don't know how many of you remember me because I haven't been on here for a while. I need some suggestions and you were always so good at that. I am looking for a resort where I can take 5 grandchildren in June ranging in age from16-25 .i might include a few parents too. Mexico is fine as long as there is a beach and water sports. We have done a cruise and dude ranch in the past.I would want it to be all inclusive. HELP please

Hi Bette, how are you! I has been a long time, it's nice to see you. I think Marcie has been at an AI resort recently with her grands, I am sure she will chime in when she sees this post!

Welcome back Bette!

We went to Club Med Ixtapa, Mexico for a week over Thanksgiving 2011. It was a fantastic week for all of us (Tom, me, 2 daughters, 2 Son-in-laws, 3 grandkids (at the time 5,3 and 1 1/2). There is so much to do for all ages. I hardly know where to begin to tell you things we did...lots of beach, swimming pool, dancing, archery, kayaking, banana boat, several even did the trapeze. The entire complex is well maintained, gorgeous grounds and beach with beautiful sunsets. Our accommodations were nice too, very spacious and all 3 next to each other in a row with balconies (great for hanging wet swimsuits).

They have tremendous youth activities and drop in baby sitting center which was great for our youngest grandchild who still was napping. They even have babysitters who will come to your room in the evening if you want only adult time out when the little ones go to bed. They have lots of entertainment in the evening. There was a large variety of food choices (good with kids) and all were very good. There's also 2 outdoor patio restaurants that you can go to as well that are more upscale.

We were there in November with good weather. I'm sure much hotter in June. You should look on the website and you can get lots of information. If you decide to go to a Club Med, I can refer you to the TA we used where we got the best price after checking all over. We were very pleased with the service too.

As soon as our youngest (3 month old grandson) is older, we plan to return and relive our fantastic 3 generation vacation there again. If you have any questions, I'm here for you.

We were at Club Med in Mexico 20 years ago and had a great time. Boys were very young. Spent a lot of time on the beach. Did have baby sitter come to the room while we went out in evening. Used the kids club when we did stuff in day time. Glad to hear it is still around.

I think that we will go to Club Med Cancun. My husband and I also went to one about 20 years ago. We liked other all inclusives much better-particularly the all adult ones. This vacation is for the kids though.It will include 4 generations.So far we have been having a problem agreeing on a date.Between school and all of their work schedules it is a mess.I shoul know more by tomorrow.If everyone goes we will be a group of 14

Marcie I think we have settled o Cancun Club Med

Ask for Donny, he was very helpful with all my questions.

Thank you so much
I have emailed but he has not called back
I will try again tomorrow
I should have a definite count by Monday

Marcie thanks for the suggestion of Club Med. I took 12 of my kids and grandkids to the one in Cancun and it was a blast. I hope we can do it again next year.I even had a 2.5 year old great grandchild along. I booked through the agency you suggested

Glad that you reported back, Bette, and the kids had a great time! We're always looking for places to take our grands. When my 2 youngest kids were about 10 and 12, I took them to Club Meds each spring break for 3 years in Ixtapta, Turks and Caicos, and Huatulco (that's a different resort now) and they loved every single visit. May be time to start with my grands.

Bette, I'm so happy it all worked out for you. I definitely think our 3 generations will return to Club Med again. It really is a perfect vacation with something for everyone.

Try Cancun.
The resort is being redone in September. The Chinese have purchased the chain from the French and the employees are really excited about it

We need one with a Baby Club, ?? If they have one we'd love to try it.

I think for Marcie, Ixtapa may be a lot easier to get to? I loved that Club Med.
