In my cursory research, it seems I am at the late end of planning for Xmas in Mexico, but I'll try anyway!

What are you recommendations for locales that will have warm weather and water at this time and where I can find reasonable accomodations for roughly 10 people at this time? By reasonable I mean clean and comfortable accomodations. Not Four Seasons, but not Motel 6 either. Something mid to upper-mid level....hotels or rentals???

Thanks!

Oh yeah I forgot to add...it's for family mixed with older and younger people. We are looking for relaxation and good food...some nightlife, but doesn't have to be a lot. Shopping, cultural things to see and water activities plus, but not required..

Do you want all inclusive or just a hotel??
The Riviera Maya area (Playa del Carmen, Akumal etc. is great). We went to the Iberostar Paraiso Del Mar during Christmas . It's HUGE all inclusive. You better hurry...places fill up fast for the holidays....they are also the highest rates of the year.

I just booked Bahia Gran Principe Coba December 17-23.

I am getting excited already!

Something PV south as North of that the weather may or may not be warm. Many of the places Like The Brisas del Mar in Zihuatanejo booked long ago so can only suggest look, look & Look! Most places also have added a third "Highest" season for the Xmas period. .
