i mean, if all they want is to not deal with paying for food and drink as they go and aren't sweating a water park, nightly entertainment and free excursions, then grand pineapple would be fine.
if they want some super duper deluxe all-inclusive experience with lots of bells and whistles and extras included, then they should go for beaches.
(but you know how i feel- at that age, all kids need is a pail and shovel, a pair of water wings and a lot of sunscreen.)
that is true. The only thing in common is the AI...and that doesn't even compare. But I love the GP..so it works for us and is a heck of a lot cheaper! Which means we can come back yearly as opposed to every 3 years..lol

Definitely Beaches with kids, and I always got a WAY better rate when I went through my travel agent and not Beaches' website.
Beaches does a beautiful job of catering to families with young children. If they can, I would highly recommend Beaches.
Things still tend to run on "island" time sometimes, but overall, they know that young families need to keep children fed and active. The staff, entertainment, facilities, and restaurants cater to families of all ages. The kid camp lets mom and dad have a little time to themselves. It's a great vacation, IMO.

Good chance if you take kids to the GP they might be the only ones there at the time. It's not an adults only property, but some of us are fortunate that it "happens" to be moreso than not.
We've been to GP 3 times & would have been there 5 but twice were sent to Beaches instead. GP is great because it has a nice beach but we've never seen many kids there. If the kids don't mind playing by themselves & not much to do I'd say go with it because it's reasonably priced & if you get tired of their 1 buffet food you will have enough $ to go somewhere else to eat at times. BUT...what kid wouldn't love Beaches?? There is so much to do there & the beach is beautiful. Heck, I loved doing those things myself! I enjoyed floating around on the tubes on the Lazy River & they get a big selection of different places to eat. We could never have afforded Beaches on our own though. Very pricey!! We only went because GP sent us there. We've also stayed non AI which is also fine with us but if I were going with kids I think I would prefer an AI. It's just easier. You don't have to stay locked up there the whole time. You can still walk the beach & visit other places.
