Cabarete vs Maui????

[sgrundy]

Considering a family trip 1st week of June.

I wanted my wife and 2 girls to take kite lessons. My two boys just started riding and I am an experienced rider.

I have been to Maui many times and know the conditions can be tough for beginners. But Maui does have a ton of OTHER things to do and there are plenty of nice houses for rent on N. Shore.

If we do Cabarete, thinking of staying at Millennium Resort and do lessons through Laurel Eastman's School. Looks like everything is self contained. They also look "women" friendly for lessons. I may have the kids kite in afternoon and get scuba certified in mornings.

I would love some input from someone that has been to both locations.

Having kids and lessons throws a new twist into a kite vacation.

My opinion is both places are tough for beginners. Are their any shallow lagoons or flats?

I would choose a Maui vacation with the family over Caberete any day. The beauty of the islands is so breathtaking it will have you craving for more.

Obviously Maui is more expensive and there is a reason for that. Think about it.

Good luck!
