Summer is fast approaching in the northern hemisphere, and that means it’s time to start thinking about summer vacation. In Mexico, it’s a great time to get travel deals — and a great time to take along the kids. In this week’s roundup of Latin America travel deals, I’ve found some cool “kids stay free” summer vacation offers, as well as a special deal that for summertime family reunions on a Mexico beach.
