Roatan.. You can "order" lobster for $1-2 a piece (not a pound) to cook in your villa from fishermen just boating by. Kids get exhausted fast, and you can pay pennies for people to come cook for you at said villa. You can also stay on the south end of the island and be more touristy.

The north side is more jungle-ish, so you have to stash things like formula in the fridge or in vacuum sealed bags, or you will get destroyed by ants PDQ. Don't bring "organic" bug repellent, bring Deet and Permethrin with you.

Relaxing AF. Plenty of properties that can stick four or five groups of adults and crumb snatchers in different villas that connect to the same central living room/kitchen.

ETA: My bad, you said international, I just assumed your limits were not much farther than Mexico, like the rest of TD (Not pointing at you 777 and Zappas obviously) and the 30A crowd. You can 100% do Paris, Marseille, Barcelona, etc with young kids if you plan it right. Don't do dumb shite like land a six hour time zone shift away in the morning, etc. Every little girl you're related to will SCREAM "Paris!!" if it gets mentioned. They will eat their weight in croissants, and it'll be worth every Euro.

roatan is a great spot for a family vacation. I went last summer and we all loved it. shout out for brisas del mar in roatan. great little boutique hotel with a pool, bar, music, great workers, and good food and drinks. enjoyed the vibe their over some huge resort. you can take a water taxi to the resorts any time for like $5. also check out curacao, one of my favorite spots that i have been to. both are safe and you can rent a car and travel around the island and enjoy alot of different beaches and scenery. both have some great snorkeling spots also. curacao is more modern because of the dutch influence. I also think snorkeling in curacao was better.

we are hitting puerto rico starting this weekend. I have never been but its def more expensive than curacao or roatan but my daughters passport hasnt come in yet and I have a busy july scheduled.

screw disney I have been to both disneyland and disneyworld 1 time each and it wouldnt hurt my feelings to never go back again. not a fan of waiting in line most of the day. would much rather experience the world thru my own eyes and enjoying what the world has to offer both culturally and its beauty.

This sounds awesome. You have any recommendations on actual places to stay?
