Should have posted this link to the Akumal Beach live webcam.
The webcam is mounted on the front of the Lol Ha beach bar, which is within stumbling distance of the AKumal Beach Resort.

A friend recently went to Cuba, and was somewhat disappointed. I think there are some incredible spots in Mexico. That will be my next tropical destination

Thanks for the advice. Akumal seems like a really nice place. I will have to pick your brain a little bit. We are planning on doing this in maybe Jan/Feb 2009. We are going to Vancouver Isaland this summer with the little one and that will be her first major trip out of the city. She will almost be 2 when we plan to go down south and that will make it a bit easier.

My vote would be for Cozumel a bit more to get to but not as crowded and of course the diving/snorkeling 2nd to none.
Akumel is nice too but the diving is better in Cozumel. Islands are usually less crowded and more pristine.

I was told there is no crime. The last kid that stole a purse was beaten. This is from the tour guide though. Lots of time share though.  I saw schools of bait fish Mai Mai Barracuda and lots more just off the beach. Diving I say a huge nurse shark a grouper that his eye was the size of my fist a 4' turtle and much more.

Some great advise on places to go and see, but I wonder if the other members are seeing 2yr old travelling...I repeat 2 not 6 or 8 or 10..
How many parents have travelled with a 2 yr old and had time to relax, snorkel, dive, oh and did I say RELAX?? Nuff said I hope...Go with the grandparents......I repeat I have 4 great kids, but I have travelled with them when they were 2 and you DONT relax.......

Most resorts have a kids club and he said his wife wanted to go somewhere warm. The last place we where at on one of the tours there was a two year old in the boat with us and there was 4" rollers and we were jumping waves. It was all fine they always have kids live jackets, and take extra care for you. There is lots of small kids on resorts and its only 5hr to get there. Ohh and he can snorkel or dive while his wife sits on the beach and his two year old plays in the sand. My 2 Cents
