Looking to take my 2 kids on a vacation to Mexico, Cuba or anywhere tropical really. Trying to find a resort that kids 12 and under stay free. Anyone know of any? Haven't had any luck with my search, other than that Book.VIP site but i've heard that's pretty sketchy.

Have you checked westjet vacations? We have booked all of our Mexico vacations thru them. Not sure about how it works with kids.

Try Viva Wyndham Azteca or Viva Wyndham Maya in Playa del Carmen. You fly into Cancun and take a $60.00 can ride. It is all-inclusive and kids are free.

JAY.... Take them on a cruise!!! seriously. So much cheaper, all inclusive, food, snacks, entertainment, beaches, and honestly, safer: they can't GO anywhere, they're on a BOAT hahaha. And you get to stay/see/explore all the cool tropical places when you port, your 'hotel' floats to the next tropical place while you sleep, the kids clubs run nearly all hours, there are supervised activities by the armful, all day, for FREE, with other kids there..... Little Man and I have done two together, i have done 5(6?), and as a solo mum, they make the bring-a-kid-on-vacation completely easy. I love it. Try royal caribbean, they're my fav middle ground for cost vs programs. And vacationstogo dot com has 90 day ticker sales for huge discounts.

I would 2nd a cruise. We did a family cruise on Royal Caribbean, we never saw the kids, they spent their time in the "kid appropriate" areas where's theres tons of security and they make new friends really quickly and have a blast. I would highly recommend it.

We just took out four kids to Cancun. We booked directly through hotel, cheaper than a combo deal. (Beach palace resorts)
