Planning a trip with 2 little kids 1 and 3years old this coming January. Any suggestions please as we are looking for somewhere safe, warm and on sale vacation.

We felt safe with our 2.5 year and 7 month old in Playa Del Carmen for 2 months last winter. Mexicans love families

San Diego, great for families. Pick up the Go San Diego pass from Costco, includes lots of activities for one price. Also short direct flights from Calgary which is great with little ones

Did you stay in hotel or airbnb?

Kris we stayed in a hotel, but airbnb would be a great option. I would check it out especially with little ones and cooking some meals

You check Costco online or local Costco can get those passes. We want to add up all the cost to see if it is cheaper to go here or Mexico.

Thanks

San Francisco

I don't think San Francisco is meant for family vacation. We went twice (of course before we have kids) but don't find the food or things there very attractive.

Just a suggestion

Thank you for the suggestion though.

Mexico.pick a nice family friendly resort.

I was thinking Mexico but worry about safety

Huatulco area is awesome. Safe, friendly and less touristy than the Cancun/Playa side.

Great to know, never been there. Will look into it. Thanks

My husband is from Mexico city. I've traveled all through Latin America and North America. Mexico is by far the safest. The bad areas are in the north along the US Mexico border. Any of the tourist areas are safe and well maintained. My in-laws were just in huatulco and loved it. Dreams resorts and memories resorts make really great affordable family vacations

Thanks Angie

A cruise is safe and family friendly. All inclusive resorts in Mexico are good too, and many have kids pools, and play areas.

I was debating the same thing earlier this week for our family. I was leaning to a Caribbean cruise.

Kauai. But what do you mean by safe? You can always fall off the cruise ship or drown in the hotel pool. There's no guarantees anywhere.

That's right, a less chance where we get robbed or kids get kidnapped just walking down the street.

RIU Jalisco in PV mexico

My friend went to Spain and it was super kid friendly

Spain is little too long of flights for us...but definitely will keep in mind for when they are older.

Mexico-as some resort are all inclusive. sounds like a good place. Does anyone know where is a good site to look? Is expedia only option? Where to check of any sales going on?

We found a good deal on sunwing.ca to Mexico (PV). There are plenty of family friendly options.
Also, depending if you need ocean or pool, I would recommend Palm Springs (possibly Phoenix). Palm Springs has a living outdoor zoo, a children's museum and plenty of outdoor hiking and pools. The flights are relatively short and you can get great deals. Disneyland is a short drive if you are into that and you can get a deal on tickets from Costco.
If you want to stick closer to home and do not need full heat, Vancouver Island is a great get-away. Go to the outlying areas to avoid touristy costs - we found a place in Bowser that was awesome, beach front and reasonably priced.

We also had friends with twins that went to Cuba and loved it.

Thank you Krista, I will check out pricing.

All inclusives are a safe bet. Puerto Vallarta has really consistent weather. I've been to the Mayan twice in January and both times had bad weather. Huatulco is really safe and fantastic weather!

There are a lot of family friendly all inclusive resorts in Mexico that have a ton of activities for kids. The good thing about the all inclusive is that you don't have to worry about anything, even hotel transports are covered most times.
I'm a travel agent, if you need any information please let me know:)

Thanks
