Kind of narrowed it down to resorts in Mexico/Caribbean.
Anyone have any recommendations, personal experiences? The allergies are okay enough to manage but celiac is really difficult to travel with.
Honestly open to any ideas . We're just trying to avoid the US for obvious reasons.

I am not a parent but taking 3 children under 6 to a foreign country like Mexico with food allergies/celiac seems like a recipe for a tough time in my opinion. It's the little things they just don't care about in Mexico like food safety, some places are better than others but your going in reverse regardless. The concerns get exasperated when we expect a certain standard of care and attention in health matters that just don't apply in countries like Mexico.
I know it sucks about the US right now and you want a good vacation but if it helps you and your family mentally, just do it if you want. I have a million fond memories as a child hitting up West Edmonton Mall attractions as a kid from Calgary all the time. Not the most exciting scenario for adults but for the children the memories are great although your children may be a little young?? I don't know.
Good luck regardless
