What We Like: This all-suite resort boasts an impressive 1,000-foot stretch of pristine white sand beach, offering ample space for relaxation and play.
What to Consider: While the resort excels in providing activities for children and teenagers, the evening entertainment options for adults are somewhat limited compared to the extensive kids’ programming.
Grand Velas Riviera Maya stands as a beacon of sophistication in the Mexican Caribbean, arguably across all of Mexico. Despite its elevated style and world-class service, it consistently ranks as one of the best all-inclusive resorts for families in Mexico, a testament solidified by its 2023 World’s Best Awards recognition.
This expansive 491-suite resort is nestled between 80 acres of lush mangrove forest and a supremely soft, white-sand beach. The suites are thoughtfully distributed across three distinct buildings, two of which are specifically designed with families in mind. Each building operates almost as a self-contained mini-hotel, complete with its own pools, fitness centers, and dining venues. Families will find themselves perfectly at ease within the Ambassador and Grand Class sections, which feature the largest pools and a diverse selection of restaurants. The Ambassador building also offers the closest proximity to the beach. Both of these family-friendly buildings provide dedicated kids’ clubs and a variety of connecting room options, making it ideal for multi-generational travel. Furthermore, most restaurants feature kid-friendly sections on their menus, ensuring even the pickiest eaters are catered to. Grand Velas Riviera Maya truly represents the pinnacle of luxury and family-focused all-inclusive experiences in Mexico.

Grand Velas Resorts
Also available to book at Expedia.com
What We Like: The resort’s expansive spa is a true highlight, offering 20 treatment rooms and comprehensive hydrotherapy facilities for ultimate relaxation.
What to Consider: Due to its popularity and exceptional offerings, the resort can experience high occupancy and feel somewhat crowded, especially during peak seasons.
If an all-inclusive Puerto Vallarta resort can achieve iconic status, Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit has undoubtedly earned that distinction. A landmark along the Riviera Nayarit coastline and another esteemed World’s Best Award winner, Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit has consistently set the gold standard for luxury all-inclusive resort experiences in Mexico, particularly for families.
This 265-room resort is comprised entirely of suites, each featuring a private balcony, breathtaking ocean views, and generously proportioned, sun-drenched living spaces. The resort’s centerpiece is its stunning central infinity pool, cascading down three levels before seamlessly merging with a spectacular beach – widely considered one of the finest in the Bay of Banderas. Mirroring its Riviera Maya sibling, the family facilities here are outstanding. Dedicated kids’ and teens’ clubs provide age-appropriate activities and entertainment, while a specialized baby concierge service assists parents with everything from strollers to cribs. Culinary experiences are equally impressive, with six diverse restaurants ranging from casual beachfront fare to fine dining French, Italian, Mexican, and Pan-Asian cuisines, establishing it as a foodie’s paradise within the all-inclusive landscape. For adults seeking respite, the 20-treatment room spa offers a luxurious sanctuary, complete with plunge pools, hydrotherapy circuits, and a vast menu of holistic treatments.

Hotel Xcaret Mexico
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-hotel-xcaret-mexico-FAMALLINCLMX0424-efde4533fe2f4505b6b4bdb565dd2537.jpg)
Hotel Xcaret Mexico
Also available to book at Hotels.com
What We Like: The room rate is exceptionally inclusive, covering a vast selection of activities, diverse dining options, and even airport transfers, simplifying your family vacation.
What to Consider: As one of the largest resorts in the Riviera Maya, the sheer size of Hotel Xcaret Mexico might feel overwhelming to some guests seeking a more intimate experience.
Few family-friendly all-inclusive resorts in Mexico achieve the level of excellence found at Hotel Xcaret Mexico. This is likely why it claimed the top spot on our World’s Best list for 2023, solidifying its position as one of the best family resorts in Mexico. This expansive, upscale resort is indeed one of the largest in the Riviera Maya, boasting 900 beautifully appointed rooms. Yet, despite its scale, Hotel Xcaret Mexico manages to maintain a remarkably boutique feel. This is perhaps due to the thoughtfully designed grounds, offering numerous distinct areas for guests to explore and relax, ensuring that no single space ever feels overcrowded – a characteristic you might expect from one of the region’s top hotels.
The sprawling resort grounds are designed with a captivating prehistoric aesthetic, featuring stone-faced facades, abundant tropical foliage, and even a cenote-inspired river winding through canyon-like walls. (This tranquil river setting is also where you’ll discover the luxurious spa). Ten restaurants, eight bars, and a comprehensive kids’ club further enhance the resort’s amenities. However, perhaps the most compelling perk for families is the unlimited, all-inclusive access to all Grupo Xcaret theme parks – with transportation included! Zip-lining adventures, ATV tours, captivating themed shows, and thrilling water parks are all part of the package, and families can enjoy these experiences as many times as they wish throughout their stay, making it an unparalleled value for a family vacation.
The Details:
- Distance to Cancun Airport: 41 miles
- Wi-Fi: Included throughout the resort.
- Family Facilities: A dedicated kids’ club and unlimited access to all Grupo Xcaret parks are included in the room rate, providing endless entertainment.

Grand Velas Los Cabos
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-grand-velas-los-cabos-FAMALLINCLMX0424-97425f86917042c5bcdc6b246d580578.jpg)
Grand Velas Resorts
Also available to book at Expedia.com
What We Like: Every room at Grand Velas Los Cabos offers stunning ocean views and private terraces, ensuring a luxurious and scenic stay for every family member.
What to Consider: The beach directly in front of the resort is not swimmable, a common characteristic of many beaches in the Los Cabos region. However, the resort compensates with exceptional pool facilities.
Los Cabos presents travelers with a wealth of choices when it comes to high-end resorts. However, Grand Velas Los Cabos has truly cornered the market for all-inclusive, luxury resorts that cater exceptionally well to families, securing its place as one of the best family resorts in Mexico. It has also earned a coveted spot on our World’s Best Awards list in 2023, further solidifying its reputation.
This beachfront hotel exudes an understated elegance at every turn, yet it remains incredibly welcoming and family-friendly, avoiding any hint of stuffiness. Rooms are generously sized and feature a modern yet comfortable design, all boasting captivating ocean and pool views from their private balconies. Many suites even include private plunge pools for an extra touch of luxury. Grand Velas enthusiasts will recognize signature restaurant concepts like Frida, Lucca, and Piaf, alongside resort-specific standouts such as Velas 10 and Cocina de Autor. A fully equipped kids’ club offers a range of entertainment from Wii and Xbox consoles to creative activities like jewelry-making and treasure hunts. Teenagers have their own dedicated, more sophisticated space complete with pool tables, air hockey, a dance floor, and even a private cafeteria. Adults can indulge in the expansive spa or unwind at the central multi-level pool deck, ensuring everyone in the family finds their perfect way to relax and enjoy their vacation.
The Details:
- Distance to San Jose del Cabo Airport: 20 miles

19 Los Cabos All-inclusive Resorts for a Sunny, Stress-free Getaway
Mahekal Beach Resort
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-mahekal-beach-resort-FAMALLINCLMX0424-608bfea02a5840aeb0f6043570f87ae9.jpg)
Mahekal Beach Resort
Also available to book at Expedia.com
What We Like: This idyllic beachfront resort is conveniently located within walking distance of Playa del Carmen’s famous and vibrant Fifth Avenue, offering the best of both worlds: beachside tranquility and city excitement.
What to Consider: In keeping with its relaxed, nature-focused ambiance, rooms at Mahekal Beach Resort do not include televisions, which might be a consideration for some families.
Imagine stepping onto a stretch of soft, white sand, surrounded by rows of charming palapa-topped bungalows nestled amidst shady palm groves, and you might forget you’re actually in a resort located in the heart of downtown Playa del Carmen. Mahekal Beach Resort, consistently one of my personal favorite all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and a World’s Best winner in 2023, offers guests an exceptional blend of experiences. It boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in Playa del Carmen, yet is also just steps away from the lively and energetic Quinta Avenida, lined with fantastic restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues. Families are particularly drawn to this resort for its prime beachfront location, the charming boho-chic beachfront bungalows, the family-friendly pool area, and its easy access to downtown attractions, making it a truly unique and appealing option among the best family resorts in Mexico.
The Details:
- Distance to Cancun Airport: 35 miles
- Wi-Fi: Included for guest convenience.
- Family Facilities: Activities include ping pong, a dedicated family pool, ceramic painting sessions, and more, ensuring entertainment for all ages.
- Gratuities: Included in the all-inclusive package.
- Rates: Starting from $543 per night for the all-inclusive experience.
Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-garza-blanca-preserve-resort-FAMALLINCLMX0424-a426ae8b077947b28c8b1b313c8b4ab9.jpg)
Garza Blanca Preserve Resort
Also available to book at Expedia.com
What We Like: Garza Blanca boasts one of the most enviable locations in Puerto Vallarta, offering truly breathtaking views of the Bahia de Banderas and its stunning coastline.
What to Consider: Guests staying at the neighboring adults-only Hotel Mousai enjoy reciprocal access to the facilities at Garza Blanca, but this access is not extended in the opposite direction.
While I often suggest exploring beyond all-inclusive resorts when visiting Puerto Vallarta, I wholeheartedly recommend making an exception for Garza Blanca Preserve. I find this resort particularly appealing for families due to its spectacular location, generously sized rooms perfect for family stays, and a wealth of adventure-based activities readily available. It truly stands out as one of the best family resorts in Mexico within the Puerto Vallarta area.
Puerto Vallarta and the Bay of Banderas are renowned as exceptional destinations for nature enthusiasts and active travelers, and Garza Blanca Preserve positions families perfectly to take advantage of all that the region offers. Each of the 165 rooms at the resort treats guests to stunning ocean views, complemented by the lush, jungle-covered slopes of the Sierra Madre mountains as a backdrop. The property features three pools: two located by the beach and one situated in the central area between Garza Blanca and its adults-only sister resort, Hotel Mousai. A small, pristine white sand beach fronts the resort, allowing guests to easily launch kayaks directly from the shore and explore the secluded coves and natural landmarks that dot the coastline around the resort. Hiking trails are abundant in the surrounding area, and the hotel staff is readily available to provide guidance and directions.
While Garza Blanca Preserve does not offer a dedicated kids’ club, families who enjoy spending quality time together with a variety of on-site activities will feel completely at home here. A newly developed shopping village, nestled between Garza Blanca and Hotel Mousai, adds another layer of interest, featuring a selection of locally sourced boutiques, a charming vintage-inspired carousel, and several dining options.
The Details:
- Distance to Puerto Vallarta Airport: 10 miles
- Wi-Fi: Included for all guests.
- Family Facilities: While there isn’t a dedicated kids’ club, the resort offers numerous family-friendly activities and amenities.
- Gratuities: Included in the all-inclusive package.
- Rates: Starting from $992 per night.
Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres Resort & Spa
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-grand-palladium-costa-mujeres-FAMALLINCLMX0424-fab51bc65d1840569c7142a20dc822a5.jpg)
Palladium Group
Also available to book at Expedia.com
What We Like: This beachfront resort truly offers something for every member of the family, including a dedicated kids’ pool, a world-class spa for adults, and a beautiful stretch of sandy beach to enjoy.
What to Consider: Given the expansive size of the resort, getting around may involve a significant amount of walking, which could be a factor for families with very young children or those with mobility concerns.
Just a short 30-minute drive north of the bustling Cancun Hotel Zone, travelers will discover a more tranquil and secluded part of the Mexican Caribbean: the pristine, white-sand beaches of Costa Mujeres. Here, the Grand Palladium Costa Mujeres stands as a sprawling resort designed to entertain families at every turn and is often cited as one of the best family resorts in Mexico in the Cancun area.
This substantial 670-suite resort boasts an impressive array of amenities, including 10 restaurants, 19 bars, a palatial spa, and a wide range of activities specifically for children. While the property is indeed large, it features a whimsical design incorporating man-made canals, where boats gently ferry guests around the resort grounds. Of course, walking or utilizing golf carts are also readily available options for navigating the resort. For families, the most highly recommended accommodation choice is the Family Selection suites, which operate as a dedicated “hotel within a hotel” concept, specifically tailored to families and children.
Unique amenities offered within the Family Selection include access to a dedicated fun zone equipped with video games, engaging cooking classes, arts and crafts sessions, a personalized mini-bar selection catering to family preferences, and a special milk-and-cookies turndown service before bedtime for the little ones. Adults opting for the Family Selection also gain exclusive access to the more refined dining venues at the adjacent sister resort, TRS Coral Hotel, adding an extra layer of luxury and choice to the overall experience.
The Details:
- Distance to Cancun Airport: 21 miles
- Wi-Fi: Included throughout the resort for all guests.
- Family Facilities: The Family Selection option provides exclusive VIP services and amenities specifically designed for families, enhancing the family vacation experience.
- Gratuities: Included in the all-inclusive package.
- Rates: Starting from $912 per night.
Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-hard-rock-hotel-los-cabos-FAMALLINCLMX0424-bd81d23aca3d41daa79c2868a464b1d2.jpg)
Costea Photography / Hard Rock Hotels
Also available to book at Expedia.com
What We Like: Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos offers an extensive and impressive array of options and activities specifically designed for families, ensuring there’s always something fun to do for all ages.
What to Consider: Similar to many resorts in Los Cabos, the beach directly in front of the Hard Rock Hotel is not suitable or safe for swimming due to strong currents. However, the resort’s pool complex more than compensates.
Hard Rock Hotels has established a significant presence in Mexico, with numerous properties across the country, all inviting travelers to embrace their inner rock star. However, their Los Cabos resort, which opened in 2019, particularly turned heads and rapidly became recognized as one of the best family resorts in Mexico in the Los Cabos area. This 639-room resort shines like a neon-lit oasis against the stark desert beauty of the Baja Peninsula. Facing directly onto the resort is the powerful Pacific Ocean, which, while not safe for swimming, adds a dramatic backdrop and a constant, booming soundtrack of crashing waves.
While ocean swimming may not be an option (a typical characteristic of many Cabo beaches), Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos more than makes up for it with its spectacular pool offerings – five distinct pools, including exciting water slides and convenient swim-up bars. While adults explore the eight diverse dining options or indulge in a signature massage at the Rock Spa®, kids can immerse themselves in fun at the Hard Rock Roxity Kids Club™, Teens Club, or even enjoy the on-site bowling alley. Of course, guests at Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos can expect the brand’s signature glitzy rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia, music-themed activities throughout the resort, and rooms featuring private outdoor hydro spa soaking tubs, adding a touch of rock star luxury to every family vacation.
The Details:
- Distance to San Jose del Cabo Airport: 35 miles
- Wi-Fi: Included as part of the resort amenities.
- Family Facilities: Hard Rock Roxity Kids Club™, Teens Club, Music Lab, and a Bowling Alley, providing a wide range of entertainment options for children and teens.

- Rates: Starting from $626 per night.
13 of the Best Spring Break Ideas for Family Vacations
Paradisus Cancun
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/TAL-paradisus-cancun-FAMALLINCLMX0424-d40780e9fffa424694d5b7dabdc2c822.jpg)
Peter A Panopoulos Diaz / Paradisus Cancun
Also available to book at Tripadvisor.com
What We Like: A dedicated family concierge service is available to enhance your stay with personalized perks and amenities, catering specifically to family needs and preferences, making it stand out among the best family resorts in Mexico.
What to Consider: While offering numerous amenities, some guests have noted that the rooms could benefit from a refresh to modernize the décor and furnishings.
Paradisus Cancun is hard to miss while traveling down Cancun’s Hotel Zone. Its distinctive collection of five gleaming white pyramids dominates the skyline, overlooking a stunning stretch of beachfront. Fortunately, the hotel’s appeal extends far beyond its dramatic architecture. The 525-room Paradisus Cancun is a luxury all-inclusive resort situated on one of the finest beachfronts in Cancun. While some rooms might benefit from updates, they are all spacious and offer either ocean or lagoon views.
The amenities are plentiful, ranging from numerous restaurants and bars to a beautiful beach, a sprawling pool complex, a nine-hole golf course, and the rejuvenating YHI Spa. However, families are particularly well-catered to here, thanks to the exceptional Family Concierge services that can be booked to significantly elevate a stay with additional in-room amenities and thoughtfully curated family-friendly activities. Guests utilizing the Family Concierge can communicate directly with their dedicated concierge throughout the day for assistance with various needs, from securing reservations at preferred restaurants to helping schedule activities and day trips. Children receive special welcome gifts including beach kits, kid-sized bathrobes and slippers, special bathroom amenities designed for children, milk and cookies at turndown service, and children’s beverages stocked in the minibar.

Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto by Danzante Bay
Also available to book at Expedia.com
What We Like: This often-overlooked all-inclusive resort enjoys one of the most breathtaking locations on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez, offering stunning natural beauty and tranquility.
What to Consider: Unless you are able to fly directly into the Loreto airport, reaching the resort involves a very long drive from Los Cabos, which may be a deterrent for some families.
It always surprises me that Loreto, Baja California Sur, isn’t a more bustling tourist destination, given it has an international airport. However, those who appreciate this tranquil town along the Sea of Cortez coast are likely content with its relative peace and quiet. Loreto is truly one of those special places you hope remains untouched and perfect forever, characterized by sandy streets, a relaxed atmosphere, and prime real estate overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Sea of Cortez, making it a hidden gem among the best family resorts in Mexico.
Located approximately six hours north of Cabo San Lucas, you won’t find the typical stretches of densely packed hotels and resorts here. Instead, you’ll discover a true jewel in the crown: Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto. Shielded by towering mountains on one side and overlooking the spectacular island-dotted Danzante Bay on the other, this gorgeous hotel is situated on nearly 4,500 acres of natural beauty. This includes secluded, Capri-like coves, pristine beaches, five inviting pools, a sprawling 39,000-square-foot spa, and an 18-hole golf course designed by Rees Jones. A significant $42 million investment in 2022 resulted in the complete revamp of 338 suites and the addition of a new wing featuring 158 new rooms, further enhancing the resort experience.
Families are particularly drawn to this resort for the sheer abundance of activities available, ranging from snorkeling or kayaking right off the shore in the Loreto Bay National Marine Park to an extensive list of activities designed exclusively for children. These include kids’ yoga, engaging pool games, movie time, nature walks, dance lessons, and even introductory Spanish lessons for kids. Themed nights at the resort provide fun for the entire family, featuring live performances of family-favorite musicals and vibrant Mexican-themed fiestas, creating lasting memories for families vacationing in Mexico.
The Details:
- Distance to Airport: 25 miles from Loreto International Airport; 317 miles from Los Cabos.
- Wi-Fi: Complimentary in the common areas of the resort.
- Family Facilities: Dedicated kids’ activities program, various water sports options, family-friendly shows and themed nights, ensuring entertainment for all ages.

- Rates: Starting from $714 per night.
Know Before You Go: Essential Tips for Your Family Vacation
Consider the Season for Optimal Weather
Mexico welcomes visitors year-round, but certain times of year are more ideal than others, especially for beach vacations. The most pleasant weather in most beach destinations is typically from November through April, offering comfortable temperatures and sunshine. In contrast, July and August tend to be scorching hot and humid. Furthermore, September and October often fall within hurricane season, and in Cancun and the surrounding Riviera Maya region, you should also be aware of sargassum season, which typically runs from April through October, potentially affecting beach conditions. Planning your trip during optimal weather windows will greatly enhance your family’s enjoyment of the best family resorts in Mexico.
Amenities Can Be More Important Than Beachfront Location
While a beachfront hotel sounds idyllic, sometimes Mother Nature has different plans. For example, many beaches in Los Cabos are, unfortunately, unsafe for swimming due to strong currents. Similarly, if you visit Cancun and the Riviera Maya during sargassum season, the beach might be affected by seaweed. Therefore, when choosing among the best family resorts in Mexico, prioritizing a resort that is packed with amenities and boasts a fantastic pool scene, such as those in Playa del Carmen, can be a smart strategy. This ensures that everyone in the family will find plenty of enjoyable activities and ways to spend their time, regardless of beach conditions.
Be Mindful of Timeshare Presentations
It’s important to be aware that many hotels and resorts in Mexico, including some of the best family resorts in Mexico, often have timeshare desks located on their property. These desks are staffed by salespeople whose goal is to recruit new timeshare holders. If purchasing a timeshare is not part of your vacation agenda, it is perfectly acceptable to politely but firmly state that you are not interested. Timeshare salespeople can sometimes be quite persistent, so it’s okay to be firm but respectful in declining their offers and reiterate your lack of interest.
