Hi all, we want a beach vacay in February from Calgary. We want to rent a place (no all inclusive), we enjoy snorkelling, beautiful beaches and we’ll have kids too.
Where would you suggest for February where the weather is likely to be great too.
Thanks!

Maui, or Costa Rica

I second Costa Rica

Hola. I have properties in Playas del
Coco in Costa Rica. Only 25 minutes from the Liberia airport. Feel free to message me.

Cabo San Lucas!

Tiffany the waves are too brutal for kids

Playa Conchal Costa Rica

Kona on the big island of Hawaii. Awesome for kids and the best snorkelling! Whales and dolphins and turtles and an active volcano

I just returned from Kona and had great snorkeling. February is whale season. Some very good beaches for kids. Look at lavalavabeach.com for private beachfront rentals

I don’t remember doing really good snorkeling there compared to Maui ...

Go to the big island of Hawaii rent an airbnb near hilo if you dont like crowds cause it's the local side of the island. Some of the best snorkeling is there and some great beaches that are not crowded. Rent a car and you can travel the whole island as its 2 hours from one side to the other. The best beach we loved for snorkeling was Carlsmith beach park and Richardson ocean park.

Maui for sure—Kihei area—seldom rainy or windy. Very family friendly and affordable eating spots. Also a Costco and Safeway nearby.

Debra agreed! We have always vrbo/HomeAway. Only thing is accommodations are pricey that time of the year.

Debra agree with Maui - Kihei

Playa or cozumel

Maui!!

Cuba would be nice

Costa Rica - kids can try surfing and see all kinds of wildlife (tours are amazing and not that expensive) or Huatulco Mexico. Way less touristy than other places and very walkable, cheap taxis, safe, great beaches with snorkeling - both are direct flights

theres a direct flight from calgary to costarica?

Melina nice

Maui. Kihei area.

What condos would you reccomend i I am looking at maui sunset

We stayed at the royal mauian and it was fantastic. It’s right between kamole 1&2 so beach access is easy and you don’t even have to cross the road (great when you have kids).

I will check those out, because I am pretty close to booking at Maui sunset for July.

Roatan

I second Roatan or Hawaii. I would not recommend Costa Rica if good snorkelling is important to you.

Sanctuary Cap Cana in the DR

Huatulco, Mexico ... great family atmosphere, lots of non AI’s available, direct flights with sunwing and westjet from Calgary, guaranteed heat!!!

Roatan has awesome snorkelling, fantastic water and really good for kids! Also, Bonaire is gorgeous and lovely to snorkel and fun wth kids. Or curaçao would tick all your boxes! All have gorgeous weather in February.

Caribbean Costa Rica. Check out our Facebook page La Paz del Caribe for photos a videos of the area. Watch vime A congos journey about the Jaguar Rescue Centre right in our backyard

Maui Vista Condo's has a special on right now in Feb. My parents have stayed for a month at times. You can watch the whales from the beach across from Condos

Pelican Reef Resort Belize https://www.pelicanreefvillas.com

Hideawayspalmbay.com, Exuma Bahamas. Best beaches ever, lovely weather.

Hawaii!!

Yep - Maui, specifically.
Good season for whale watching as well.

Michael ! Maui is great anytime of year! And love that you can snorkel and surf there.

Also, I am convinced that Kihei is 90% Canadian. The only downside is seeing the occasional Oilers jersey.

Costa Rica

Thanks everyone!!

Isla Mujeres. There are many propeties to rent from.apartments to houses. Quick ferry ride from Cancun but laid back. Best beaches on North end. Can do day trip to Chichen Itza or Tulum if you wanted. I visited the school and brought some supplies as well. Good diving.

keep it a secret

Belize. Beautiful, great food and very affordable.

We go to Mayan & Playa in February, always great weather 28

Grand Cayman. Beautiful beaches and snorkeling. Rent condo on 7 mile beach

Big island Hawaii, we used vrbo, Perfect...

Love Hawaii - Big Island is by far our favourite - over Maui and Oahu but it’s sooo expensive... never mind the dollar... We were in Manzanillo and Barra De Navidad last year and spent what we would have spent for a week or maybe less for a month in accommodations- never mind the food... love the Mexican people and culture... We’ve also been to Costa Rica - love it there - if you love nature and animals - it’s the best! Cuba is beautiful too... the most gorgeous beaches! Enjoy!

Roatan!!!!

Akumal, just a bit south of Playa del Carmen. Rented an airbnb there right on the beach for cheap. Lots of snorkeling in the area!

Sandos Playacar. On FB look up royal elite, it’s people selling timeshare and it’s the best way to go.

turks and caicos! airbnb

Have you been to Tofino on Vancouver Island. the winter storms are amazing. Great beach vacation if you are lokng for something different.

Turks&caicos - the beaches resort is killer for kids and parents.

Curaçao
Gentle waters; beautiful consistent weather..
