My friend group and wife want to do a week in Croatia this summer with 6 adults and 6 kids (ages 8-13). Sounds like a nightmare. How do I turn this into a stress-free Mexico all-inclusive? (Or make Croatia less stressful?)

I would LOVE to do it with my wife or even my family. It's the other brats and picky adults I don't want to deal with. We've done the all inclusive thing with all of them and it's been great

I don't know which exact words to search for but I'm having deja vu that you've had this conundrum in this thread before.

Is this a beachy vacay? Just get your separate places, hang out at the beach together, get lunch etc. then retire for the evening and do your own things.

Yes, not a bad idea. Where would be best for this?

How do you get closer than family?  You all get cloned from the same tube fetus?

You live closer to them and spend more time with them and generally enjoy their company more.

Well, imo you have to visit Dubrovnik, but I don't recall it being particularly beachy. The islands have good beaches, but just Google it. Despite my intimations, I'm not really a subject matter expert.
