Beaches was our first trip to Negril (for a wedding and our first and last AI trip) and I think you will be very pleased with all the activities they have for your children They have a nice area to wait for the shuttle at the airport and it was a great trip to Negril so I would go with that for the trip. One note - the gate staff did try to discourage us from leaving the resort. We are very glad they didn't convince us as we fell in love with Negril and have been back every year since.
