Good family beach vacation?

[KJ04SVT]

Believe it or not but Virginia Beach is a great vacation place, boardwalk is great, you can get around the town by city transportion and such!! You can fly into Norfolk, VA via SWA... Also Myrtle beach is a great place if you get something in the down area, small board walk area...

We just went to Cozumel in June of last year. Probably the best vacation I have ever had.

We stayed at the Iberostar Cozumel and the resort was just amazing. Now this short review is coming from a non-dfw billionaire, so I am most likely being looked upon as a poor scrub of a human being. But my family loved that place. All inclusive, food being served nearly round the clock.

We don't drink alcohol, so I can't comment about if they water their drinks down, but the non-alcholic drinks were great. Very tasty and unique.

There were flamingos, giant iguanas and peacocks roaming freely around the resort.

My wife and my cousin took off and went to see the big pyramids and some other side trips. I didn't fret at all, they went, they saw...they came back. They both really enjoyed it despite it being SUPER humid in-land.

I just chillaxed with my parents on the beach and went to Punta Sur. We rented a VW Bug Convertible. I think that was one of the cool points of the trip. Taxi fare to/from town is $25 each way. I rented the car for like $100 total (Isis Rentadora)

I'm going back someday...just once the flights/taxes are reduced..it's crazy how much tax they put on landing there. We flew into Cancun and did the whole bus down the coast/boat from Playa to save money. The Fedarales with Uzi's made me feel safe every 5 miles.

Nygga, I'm bulletproof!

maybe, but your resale value isn't all that high!

It also wasn't when the cartels were at war with everyone, either.

I'd be leery about going down there with kids these days.

I've walked through Cancun at 1am by myself, but I'm a badass, sooo. Don't think I would risk it with the kids in tow.

Shit I'm Mexican and even I wouldn't want to wander away from the hotel for an excursion. Damn cartels turning Mexico into a war zone.

Actually if you go there, you have to go to Xel Ha. Worth the trip, guaranteed. One word of caution, you would have to ride down a road that I believe is rated the most dangerous road in Mexico. That would be of some concern, but google Xel Ha, and you will probably see why most people go.

I've been to Xel Ha, Tulum, Xcaret, Chichenitza, etc...I've been 'about 9' times. This would be the first for the kids and I would definitely want to take them to Xel Ha.

Maybe it's because I am naive, but from everything I've read the Playa area/Cozymel area are actually pretty safe. My only concern is traveling to an excursion.

I would just stay around the playa/conzumel area, would not go on any excursions.

[Leah]

Not gonna lie. I would be nervous as fuck, especially with kids in tow. You would be so distracted trying to look after them and look over your shoulder, having fun anywhere outside of the resort property would be tough.

If i was going to spend that much $2k i would just go on a cruise.

The $2k includes drinks and everything-on a cruise, we'd be gambling and drinking some and that would make it over that. Plus, my son gets seriously sea sick so he has absolutely no desire to go on a cruise.

Orange Beach Alabama is a good place. ......

My oldest son and his two kids and wife have been there twice in the past few years and have really enjoyed it. They drive over and back. Plenty of things for the kids to do. They stay in a time share condo they found from some friends.
