Where can we stay in Mexico if we are driving from San Diego with 3 kids to have fun for 2 weeks?

Question

My husband is on vacation just for two weeks then he will be going back to Iraq for another 6 months. Disneyland and everything around here is getting old and we are tired of it. We want to hit the beach in Mexico. The last time we've been in Rosarito-Tijuana-Ensenada is been last November and we loved it. I have a bunch of experience going there but with out the kids. Any suggestions from people that is been there with their children last summer (2007)? We are looking for a vacation rental, hotel, other ideas? Entertainment could be close to the place we are staying if needed we wanted though infront of the beach. If it is worth it we will drive 5 + hours. We will be going there in August for 10 days aprox.

Answer 1

The border is the less attractive part of Mexico to travel

Answer 2

border towns are not very touristic but mexico takes tourism VERY seriously so safety should not be a concern in any hotel or any city especially in the tourist areas...ignore the comment about the gunfire etc etc... youll be okay i promise ive lived in mexico my whole life and never have i even gotten mugged. As for where to go... by plane? in order from expensive and luxurious to more economic but still stylish beaches 1. Cancun 2. Puerto Vallarta 3. Los Cabos  4. Acapulco 5. Mazatlan

Anywhere near san diego.... Los Cabos is kinda far but its still in baja... Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) kinda rowdy but it  will be pretty chill in August and its close to san diego... Quiet beaches San Felipe (baja) ... Kino Bay (sonora..12 hours from san diego) but has 0 hotels its all houses and many for rent perfect to just go chill...

Answer 3

Do not go to that area, especially with children!  There have been some pretty serious incidents involving gunfire.  It is NOT safe!  Please do some investigation; there's bound to be something in the San Diego papers.  I'm sure your husband gets enough of that stuff in Iraq and doesn't need it on vacation.  I'm sure you could find a safer place to go in the U.S.  How about going to Arizona or up the coast in Ca. ?

Answer 4

Los Cabos would be very nice :)
