Mexico is a wonderful place to visit. Amongst the popular
beaches and tourist hang outs, a person can also visit parts of Mexico that haven't been touched by heavy tourist activity. These places are safer and offer more interesting site seeing and shopping, and you will also get a taste of what real Mexico looks like, without the Americanized touches that the more popular beaches have. There are several hotels in Mexico that are kid friendly and family safe. Many offer wonderful specials. Obviously, a lot has to do with which part of Mexico you will be visiting, but big hotel chains will be in just about every city and town in Mexico.
