We live in the Pacific Northwest, and I'm craving some hot, sunny weather. We are a family of six, with kids ages 7,4,2,1. I would like to have a short getaway, 3 or 4 nights with our kids before prices go up for the summer. We're looking at mid-May.
I would like to stay at either a resort with a nice pool area with a kiddie pool, or a hotel with a small outdoor pool in a downtown area near a park, restaurants, etc. It would be nice if we could get a shuttle from the airport to the hotel and not have to rent a car. As this is last minute and unplanned, I would like to keep the cost down.
Budget for airfare is $250-300 per person. Hotel budget must be less than $200, preferably less than $150. We are Marriott Rewards members, so Marriott properties are our first choice.
The problem I often run into is our larger family, we exceed the max occupancy on standard hotel rooms.
Can anyone help with suggestions? It would be so appreciated. Right now I am looking at San Antonio. We are looking for some sunshine and relaxation, but also some low-key activities to keep the kids happy.
