My kids (now 18 and 13) have been to both places at least a couple of times. They've enjoyed both, and I think either would be okay for kids.
Actually my kids probably enjoyed Chan Chich and Ek'Tun more than either Chaa Creek or Blancaneaux, mainly because both have great swimming pools. Chaa Creek is on the Macal Rvier and Blancaneaux is on the Privaison creek, but as it happens the times my kids were there the swimming wasn't too good.
