stefyb - Just a suggestion - writing all in capital letters is generally interpreted in online forums as yelling.
As for providing you with recommendations, you're more likely to get useful advice if you provide more information about things like: a) your price range for hotels and how many rooms you need to book; b) what you do and don't like to do; and c) maybe where you're travelling from, so someone can suggest a destination that's an easy trip from where you're base.

You will get more replies if you post on the Mexico and Central America board.
Have you looked at any guidebooks? Start at your library or sit in your local Barnes and Noble with a cup of coffee and a selection of the glossy guides with lots of pictures. Once you've decided where to go you can start reading the ones with lots of text to decide where to stay. Also click on Destinations at the top of this page.
You do realize that traveling over holidays is more expensive and more crowded than other times?

Welcome to fodors - and the joys of overland travel! Do post on the other board after you've spent some time with the books. You'll get better answers if you're more specific. Take a look now and read some of the trip reports.

I think Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel, that stretch of Mexico on the Caribbean side might be good.
Besides guidebooks, pick up a copy of Budget Travel magazine. They always have a section that showcases packaged/allinclusive trips, you might get some ideas there.

If you want a budget-friendly family trip, home swapping would be your best bet. You save so much on accommodations, food, and travel. If you own a home, you have a home. I have done three home swaps already, and my last one was in Paris through www.RoofSwap.com. They have everything you need to know about home swapping and how to prepare for one. Good luck on finding your next summer vacation.
