Where do you recommend that won't be scorching hot? We have 2 kids, who will be 3.5 and 5.5. We want pools and beach and SAFE. Happy to go to a resort that we don't have to leave. We have a pretty loose budget, so any recommendations are great!
Thanks!
Re: Mexico in early August
August is the hottest time in Mexico but any time in Mexico is a good time. As for the rain, I always tell people that it rains for 10 minutes every morning.
Check out the Akumal Beach Resort (AI and kid friendly). I can't give any personal recommendations on the resort, itself, but I am partial to Akumal (have a condo and been going there since the early '90s). It is a little village about 50 miles south of Cancun, halfway between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. The beach there is wonderful and has great snorkling (there is also a dive shop right at the beach). I can't think of a safer place to be with kids, and if you're lucky, you may see the turtles nesting (Akumal is a favorite turtle nesting spot).
