Royal Resorts in Cancun are great for family activities. Are you in II or RCI?

Grand Luxxe would be rated tied # 1 but there are not enough reviews. See my review.

@Talent312 No plans yet. We've done six flags, some restaurants in nyc korean hot pot and Brazilian steakhouse, glow bowling. We still want to do some bike trails so will probably head upstate. We have thrown around the idea of Niagara falls. And Vermont seems to offer some nice digs.

@Carol C . I have 120pts in RCI. And 2 weeks in II.

I wouldn't recommend Bel Air Collection in Cancun. The resort is in need of major renovation. I had a major issue with the hot tub, as you had to walk or leap across the bar to step into the hot tub. I remember fear of falling after it rained, as I walked down the hallway which was exposed to the elements. I would recommend the Royal Resorts or Villa del Palmar Cancun (VDPC). At VDPC you take a bus to the end of the line and transfer to another bus going to the hotel zone. The resort is in a remote northern section of Cancun, but it is paradise!

Keep in mind that Royal Sands is mandatory AI for exchangers. The Vidanta properties (Grand Luxxe, Grand Mayan) are somewhat isolated, so you may be eating on property more than you may be used to with other timeshare stays. So keep that in mind. If you have access to II, the Westin Lagunamar is a great choice, but don't expect any high season trades. Mostly off or shoulder season.
