Hello,
I'd like your thoughts on non-AI resorts in Playa del Carmen. I'm planning our 2016 summer vacation for our family of six, including three children (then ages - 2, 5, and 7) and my mother-in-law. We have never been to Mexico and our main desire is to find a beautiful and peaceful beach for our children to play in and to find a family-friendly resort. (We may venture out and hit some local tourist spots, but it's not a major driver.)
Some of our current thoughts are ...
1. We read that the beaches in Playa del Carmen are more suitable for young children than those in Cancun, because the waves are smaller. I wonder if this is true. (The beaches in PDC do look amazing from photos I found on the web.)
2. We will be looking to rent a 2-BR for one week from a tugger. We're on budget for about $1,500 for renting... again non-AI. Availability/ease of finding a rental during summer vacation would be important.
Which resorts do you recommend and why? We're Worldmark/II members and would be happy with less than 5* resorts.
Also, when is the hurricane season in that part of the world? We obviously want to avoid that altogether.
Thank you for your help in advance!
