About 3 or 4 years ago our whole family went to cancun for $3400, that included airfare, hotel and all of our food, plus 2 day trips. Horseback riding on the beach, swimming in an underground river. It also included alcohol

My kids were both under 12 at the time, it would probably be more now.

I have been to Hawaii and Cancun's beaches are much prettier, of course its really humid.
