I have taken young kids there twice and have never felt remotely unsafe, fwiw.

In which order? Could impact my decision to go there.

Nah, Rocky Point is pretty tame. I've been there a few times. Tons of Gringos

Also monkeys, macaws, toucans, and other wildlife. Also, less time zone diff.

We love SD and have been there 3 of the last 4 years. But if you want warm, relaxing water SD is not for you.

Surfable waves + warm water make Oahu North Shore hard to beat

The Bahamas aren’t too bad. I prefer BVI or St Lucia. Costa Rica is also great, as is Jamaica. Puerto Rico is

unctoothman

2/5/20 4:21pm

Yeah, I'm confused about that. I think CR is way cheaper.

ReyOso

2/5/20 4:24pm

Confused that I said CR is cheaper? Seems like we agree.

unctoothman

2/5/20 4:28pm

Yes, agreeing with you. Confused by the comment you were responding to.
