Hello everyone,
A friend of mine is having trouble deciding between 3 places of where to go for their annual family vacation (with 2 kids, 5 & 7). She's thinking either Los Cabos or Mazatlan or Dominican Republic. I haven't even been there myself to those places. Which one would you guys recommend that would suit best for family with 2 kids? Thank you in advance for the input.

Cabo is my favorite! You can be there in 4 hours, I feel safe there, guaranteed good weather, and the resorts are beautiful

Maztlan would be my choice...stay in the Gold Zone, beaches are pristine, many all-inclusive hotels right on the beach, pools, waterslides, shopping, etc. All within walking distance. Very safe area!

When we went to Maztlan in march it was super kid friendly, tons of kids activities. We are planning on going again in the new year as my inlaws spend quite a bit of time there.

Best value will be Mazatlan. I lived there for 7yrs
Food is amazing, lots of choices even if you’re not into Mexican food. Tons to do as a family (fishing, boat tours, beaches, art walks, museums, horse riding, etc). A gazillion photo ops too!! Los Cabos is about 4 tines the price, and I haven’t been to DR to compare, but my vote is Mazatlan!

Best Family Vacation Destination

Hello everyone,

A friend of mine is having trouble deciding between 3 places of where to go for their annual family vacation (with 2 kids, 5 & 7). She's thinking either Los Cabos or Mazatlan or Dominican Republic. I haven't even been there myself to those places. Which one would you guys recommend that would suit best for family with 2 kids? Thank you in advance for the input.

Los Cabos

Los Cabos is known for its beautiful beaches, family-friendly resorts, and various activities for kids. The weather is usually sunny and warm, perfect for a relaxing beach vacation. There are also opportunities for whale watching, snorkeling, and exploring the local culture.

Mazatlan

Mazatlan is another great option for a family vacation. It has a more laid-back vibe compared to Los Cabos, with charming old town streets, delicious seafood, and plenty of water sports activities. The kids will enjoy playing on the beach and exploring the nearby islands.

Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is known for its all-inclusive resorts, stunning beaches, and vibrant culture. There are plenty of family-friendly resorts with kids' clubs, water parks, and activities for children of all ages. The whole family can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and exploring the tropical landscapes.

Conclusion

Ultimately, all three destinations have something unique to offer for a family vacation. Los Cabos is great for a relaxing beach getaway, Mazatlan is perfect for a mix of beach and cultural experiences, and the Dominican Republic is ideal for all-inclusive family fun. Consider what activities and amenities are most important to your friend and her family, and choose the destination that best suits their preferences.
