toddler friendly travel destinations image
Bbb
We would like to travel in February for 9-10 days with our 2.5 year old daughter. We would like some adventure (as opposed to sitting on the beach all day), and are used to traveling off the beaten path somewhat (read: not Hilton, but also not hostels. Somewhere in between). Can anyone recommend one destination over the other? Any reason why we shouldn't go to one or either of them? Any suggested itineraries?
Thank you all!
Answer
I'm not that familiar with St Maarten but I can tell you that Costa Rica is very family friendly. The Pacific Coast is probably the best place to visit, let it be up north in Guanacaste, where you'd fly into Liberia International Airport. If you fly into San Jose you might want to visit the Central Pacific, where you will find the Manuel Antonio National Park which is a huge attraction for all ages. You'll find all types of wildlife, sloths, monkeys and toucans, and it has a calm white sand beach. Another nice place to stay is Punta Leona in the central pacific. The Southern Pacific is very isolated but the beach town of Dominical is very popular.
If I had to chose a specific spot it would be between Punta Leona and Manuel Antonio, I think those two are probably the best option for your travel plans.

Traveling with toddlers & potty training?

I've heard that there's a website that lists travel destinations that are good for families with kids, rates them on the availability and accessibility to restrooms. We just spent a week traveling with a potty-training 2-year old and had an awful time finding open public restrooms and businesses (other than restaurants) that would let us use their restrooms--even when we were clearly getting ready to buy merchandise. Has anyone else heard of this site? I can't remember who sponsors it. Thanks!

from what I am finding for toddlers or potty training the all inclusive places are best because it's already all paid for you can use whatever restroom is close by and not have to worry about having to purchase something from a merchant on Rodeo drive because your child needs to pee!
