Family of 5, parents, and 3 kids(25,23,20) We love sun. We were thinking Turks and Cacois or Costa Rica. We would love some advice on great places to go. Looking for Larger, high end resorts. Want to be close to restaurants/nightlife. Any advice is appreciated. thanks!

You might want to repot your question on the Caribbean Forum for recommendations in the T&C's and the on the Mexico/Central America Forum for info about Costa Rica. Lots of experts on those forums to help you. This forum (Travel Tips & ideas) doesn't get much action.

Another suggestion - include info about when you plan to trade, give some idea of your budget and ideas on what you'd lie to do/see and you'll get plenty of suggestions.

For upscale resorts in the T&C's look at Parrot Cay, Grace Bay Club and Amanyara. In Costa Rica check out the Four Seasons Resort - it consistently gets very good review.

parrotcay.com my fav in TCs upscale but not a big place same thing with all the others. Fourseasons.com CR only true 5 star in the country very nice if budget is good again not really a big resort Melia Reservaconchal.com best beach in CR with kids the biggest place that is nice. Used to be a Paradisus property.
