Hi @Peach-Zebra! There are tons of factors that go into my suggestions, but as a mom of three (ages 7,5, and 3) we love taking our kids to resorts that we don't ever have to leave. Have you ever considered Hawaii, since you're gone a week? Might be a fun fit. The flight scares people - but our girls did awesome! The resorts there are next level. Happy to help run down other ideas in Mexico, Carribean if you want something a bit closer. Shoot me an email - brynne@kjtravel.com

Hi, Mom! Costa Rica isn't necessarily known for their beaches - I typically recommend for families that love the balance of that + adventure with all the nearby jungles and activities. Great "beachy" options include - the two best options are Four Seasons and Andaz. Others are Westin (all-inclusive) and JW Marriott. To recommend one of these over the other comes down to your preferences when you travel and what you value most, as well as your budget. Some people like to split stay with a jungle option as well. Reach out with any specific questions, always happy to help - brynne@kjtravel.com

Hi @AhMummy!! Family trips are my favorite In Mexico it's hard to beat Mayakoba or Punta Mita with kids. July will be hot! @Purple-Animal has a great thought with the Mountains. There are lots of family friendly dude ranches in Montana and Wyoming that my clients love! My favorite little mountain town in Colorado is Crested Butte. I'm happy to help either of you with more info anytime! brynne@kjtravel.com
