These are exellent places for a family vacation. The Mayan Resorts generally have 50 to 200 acres of land. There are lots of activities right on the resort including a large swimming pool, lake, ocean beach, water park with slides, fountains, etc, paddle boats, kayacking, game rooms, tennis, golf. Horsebakc riding, quad rentals, parasailing, etc are offered on or near the beach by outside vendors. The Mayan Resorts also have lots of scheduled activities like children's camps, children dances, children karaoke, volleyball and othe games in the pool, dinner, dancing, and other scheduled evening events like Mexican Fiestas, etc. There are usually several restaurants, including buffet style dining, at the resort. Some of the rooms include a full kitchen with refirgerator, stove, dishwasher, and microwave. There are food, general, and gift stores on the grounds as well. The Mayan Resorts are generally close to the major tourist activites in each of the respective locations, so there is lots more to do outside of the resort. Things like sightseeing, guided tours, shopping, museums, dolphin swims, fishing charters, boat tours, more restaurants, and a robust night life. Prices in Mexico are extremely reasonable compared to the US. I offer both in season (winter, early spring, late fall) and off season rates for my timeshare weeks and rates are negotiable.
