Haven't been to Playa Mia, but loved Paradise Beach with kids 11, 12, 9 and 9Easy cab ride from port, $2.00 for a chair (have to pay for all in party), super clean facilities. We loved the pool and beach. We ordered lunch and drinks and had great service all day by the same person who set up our chairs, umbrellas, etc. We paid $12.00 each for access to all inflatables (trampoline, slides, etc. and adults and kids had a blast. It was the highlight of our Western Carib. cruise. They have a few cute shops as well and brought out colorful birds with whom you could take your picture. Lots of fun!
