Maybe try the Westin on Puerto Rico. Or one of the other major resorts nearby. They are very kid friendly because they know there will be alot of people there on budgets. Hotels can be a little pricey, but flights are DIRT cheap.

Jamaica is about one hour forty-five minutes from Miami.
Yes it is a gorgeous island with lush greenery. Of course there are some scattered poor shanty towns but the people in those towns are very warm and welcoming. I had the privelege of meeting some of the folks that live along the hillside of the Blue Mountains and they are just great! I stayed at Point Village resort and the service and staff are really great there. In Negril you can go down to Rick's Cafe and enjoy a beautiful sunset or if you are as adventurous as I, you can jump off the cliff into the crystal blue waters!
The night clubs I visited there are Loveboat and The Jungle. They are both happening places! Another cool spot is Margaritaville or you can check out one of the many free beach concerts (free most times other times a minimal charge).
In Montego Bay I stayed at the Holiday Inn and they have tons of fun activities all day. They have a free trip for guests to the Margarativille in MoBay. It's nice and fun! You can walk down the 'Hip Strip' in MoBay and shop or just sightsee.
In Trelawny I stayed at FDR Pebbles (a really great resort) with a water slide in the pool. From there you can visit the famous Annie Palmer's house at Rosehall. It has mythical legends and it is a beautiful property.
Dunns River waterfalls is a nice featured attraction and the water is refreshingly cold as you climb the falls. In Ocho Rios you can check out the Dolphin Cove and pay for a swim with the Dolphins. I did and it was worth every dime! The Martha Brae river boasts a wonderful, tranquil rafting experience on a bamboo raft.
In the Trelawny area you can also visit the glistening waters by the 'Luminous Lagoon' where the water glows in the night.
In Kingston area if you are adventurous you can arrange for a guided hike to the peak of the Blue Mountains. You can also go to the old fort in Port Royal where the 'Giddy House' is located (when you walk through you are supposed to be giddy :) because of the slanting of the building. You can also go by the Helshire beach area and dine at one of the many food vendors there (ask for Aunt Mays) the food is great.
As far as safety, use the same instincts you would as when you are in your hometown. You wouldn't go to an unknown place without someone who knows the place right? Jamaica is generally safe especially in the tourist spots because it is the main revenue generator. Occasionally you would see a police patrol in the resort spots which gives a sense of comfort. I have never been robbed or mugged in Jamaica and I have been in shopping markets with my wife and no one bothered us. If on the other hand you are disrespectful of the jamaican people prepare for the consequences. I have seen some fellow Americans on holiday there and they tend to act like apes, usually they are the ones that get in trouble and has negative things to say about Jamaica and Jamaicans. Remember every country has its share of crime. If you took a poll of any developed super-power versus a small third-world country you would find that proportionately the crime rates are lower in the third-world countries.
As I said the Jamaicans are friendly people and once you respect them in their country you would get a warm and respectful treatment. If you are an American, check your attitude at the US airport of departure and arrive in in Jamaica with an open mind and respect for jamaicans and their country and you would do just fine.
Hope this helps. have a great trip!

Ocho Rios or Negril in Jamaica is supposed to be good. My parents went there once and loved it. Montego Bay was a little more crowded and touristy. Locals are very nice, but be prepared since it's very poor in some areas.

Riviera Maya. Sunscape, Riu, & Barcelo hotels usually have good family hotels w/ children's activities and they are all-inclusive.
The Ritz-Carlton Cancun has a fabulous children's program, and is located on a great beach, but is not all-inclusive.
