Our Favorite Family-Friendly Resorts in Mexico
The best thing about an all-inclusive vacation is that you just have to get yourself there. Since everything is part of the price, you can relax and fully experience a destination without stress, especially in a place as beautiful as Mexico. The country is well known for its many all-inclusive resorts, which typically are located in beachfront areas (you’ll be hard-pressed to find one in Mexico City). Whether you want to indulge in a five-star resort or just keep things simple at a low-key all-inclusive, Mexico offers many possibilities ideal for families. Here are some of the best options for those traveling with babies, kids or teens.
Azul Beach Resort, Riviera Maya
A short drive from Cancun you’ll find AZUL Beach Resort, one of the many beachfront hotels along the picturesque Riviera Maya. This one is particularly accommodating to families with the Azulitos Playhouse kids club, spa services for teens and toddler amenities like cribs and strollers. The family suites will fit two adults and three kids—and leave some space for parents to get alone time. The resort also offers five restaurants with global cuisines and tons of activities, from sports to swimming to cooking classes.
Dreams Talum Resort & Spa, Talum
Tulum has become a wildly popular tourist destination over the past few years, but it’s not just for hip young couples and partygoers. Dreams welcomes families to its beachside resort, offering easy access to the area’s best spots like Xel-Ha water park and the Mayan ruins. The Explorer’s Club and the Core Zone Teens Club are great for kids if you’re looking for some blissful adult time, but you can also bond as a family while snorkeling, watching a movie on the beach or racing through the resort’s water park.
Generations Riviera Maya
Generations Riviera Maya bills itself as “family-friendly luxury,” and the resort is true to its word. Those under 12 can spend the day at the Eko Kids Club, and there’s a family lounge filled with games and books for travelers of all ages. Don’t worry about over-packing, either: Generations can provide cribs, bottle warmers and basically anything you need to keep your baby or toddler alive on vacation. The resort also caters to all sorts of tastes, with restaurants featuring everything from Indian to Pan-Asian cuisine (there is also an eatery called Wine Kitchen for after the kids go to bed).
Cozumel Palace, Cozumel
The Mexican island of Cozumel makes for a great family vacation, especially if you book into Cozumel Palace, a high-end resort that invites kids and teens to stay for free. There are nightly performances, a dolphin swimming experience and tons of activities, from snorkeling to nearby Mayan ruins. Although it’s easy to just relax on the resort property, be sure to explore all Cozumel has to offer as well, especially El Cielo Beach, Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park and Punta Sur Ecological Park.
Villa del Palmar, Cancun
Villa del Palmar Cancun Luxury Beach Resort & Spa is perfectly situated in an exclusive area within Playa Mujeres. Families searching for white powdery sand, extravagant amenities, and attentive service will enjoy this luxury all-inclusive destination. Families will enjoy how well kids are entertained during their time at the family friendly Villa del Palmar Cancun Luxury Beach Resort & Spa. There is a kids' club, a playground, a kids' pool, and a splash pad. Well-trained staff have organized activities for the kids, such as learning Spanish, mask making, fun with balloons, yoga, painting, games, and other arts and crafts, etc. In addition, babysitters are available for a fee through the resort so that parents can enjoy some time alone at this romantic, tropical location.
