Best AI With Teens

I have been "off" vacation for exactly 6 weeks and 6 days - so it must be time to plan the next one.

My DH and I have fallen in love with Royal Hideaway, but don't want to take our kids there. I loved the service, good food, luxurious surroundings.

We took our kids to the Grand Xcaret and it was some good, some bad and a lot mixed.

I want a good beach (it doesn't have to be the best, but the beach at Grand Xcaret was a joke - and I thought I was prepared for it). I want very good food - consistently. I want good drinks (strong) and drink service makes me happy, but if all other things were good I suppose I could get my butt off my chair and go get it myself

I prefer smaller (the GX was HUGE).

If I had to pick my top 3 priorities it would be (in order)
1-service
2-food
3-beach.

I thought the Lindo would fit the bill, but they were sold out this last vacation.

Let the opinions roll in

Oh yea, the kids will be 14yo boy and 17 yo girl and possibly 20 yo boy.

I traveled last summer with 2-14 yo's, 1-16,1-17,3-19 yo's to the Ib. Tucan. Some boys and some girls. None wanted to come home after the week was over!! Everyone (including the 4 adults ) had such a great time. The food is very good for an all-inclusive. The beach is gorgeous and the service is excellent.We have already booked out trip next summer but we decided to try the Ib. Del Mar this time.

Too bad about the Lindo - A definitely 'good' fit. I just absolutely loved it, particularly the pools, food, service and beach.

Have you considered the Rio Palace?

We stayed at the Gala Beach resort last May & my 15 & 19 year old girls had a ball. The beach is the best in the Playacar development. The food was very good & the beach bar service was wonderful. Lots of activities to do if you wish.

Maybe book the del mar and hope for an upgrade to the Lindo????? I know they say booked but you never know with the way people get moved around and upgraded. And the Del mar is great too.

IB Tucan/Quetzal. And it's only a $5 USD taxi ride to 5th Avenue.

Just to clarify - the Lindo was sold out for when I went last July - we stayed at the Grand Xcaret. I haven't made any inquiries for the next family vacation. I was just wondering if I should look at someplace other than the Lindo.
