Hi everyone!....I will traveling to the iberostar lindo paraiso, mexico in early February with my husbnd and 2yo little girl. (before presidents week) This is not our first vacation with her, but I have a few specific questions regarding this resort, and I am always looking for advice!. I have been to their official message site, but looking for more info.
Hoping someone has some info regarding this resort, or just traveling with a toddler in general, any advice is greatly appreciated

-Staying at Lindo property.....told this was best for families....requesting 3 rd floor non smok room, any specific building request for a quiet location?? Away from noisy pool, and nightlife (naps during day)

-What can I buy at the resort market?? Is whole milk available in 1/2 gallons??

-Is there a playground for small children?? if so, is it shaded??

-Does the resort offer "real" full size cribs (not a pack in play)

ANy other packing advice, flight advice for traveling with a toddler??

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!!!!!

The Lindo does NOT have elevators, so be prepared to lug your stroller up and down two flights of stairs. They don't really have a "market" where you can buy food and milk. You can always get milk from the buffets and snack bars. Be aware...the milk in Mexico tastes different than the milk in USA.
Guilding 53 in halfway between the beach and the lobby/restaurant area. Here is a link to a map of the entire resort. The new Commercial Center is not on this map though.

THere is a playground--don't know if it's shaded. Really, the place to go for the best information is:

The Lindo is great. You will love it.

Thank you for your reply schmerl........so I,m thinking......can I bring my own 1/ gallon of milk, with some baby food and yogurt on my carry on/soft cooler onto the plane?? anyone know the specifics?? I looked at TSA, but they dont say anything about milk, just baby formula. My daughter will only drink a spcial kind of organic whole milk...what do you think?? btw, we are flying jet blue.........ladybug
