Best All Inclusive Resorts for Families in Mexico - We Review All-Inclusive Resorts

Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos

Why We Recommend It: Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos is a luxury all-inclusive near San Jose del Cabo, Los Cabos, which is popular with just about everyone – families, young couples, older couples and groups of friends. The resort can be busy and lively but, apart from a few pockets here and there, it’s not really a party resort. Facilities include a luxury spa a great choice of restaurants and bars, many pools including an infinity pool, kids-only and adults-only pools, a theater and daily and nightly entertainment. Rooms & Suites: … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Dreams Tulum

Why We Recommend It: Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa is a luxury all-inclusive on a gorgeous stretch of white sand beach just north of Tulum and 90 minutes from Cancun Airport. Built in a semi-colonial style and with beautifully designed, landscaped grounds, it has much of the look and feel of an old hacienda property, making it a little more charming than most modern style all-inclusives. It sees a generally well-heeled but eclectic crowd: families with children, couples, groups of friends, etc. And all ages mix happily here. It has … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Family friendly all inclusive in Isla Mujeres: Mia Reef.

Mia Reef Isla Mujeres

Why We Recommend It: Mia Reef is a fabulous, family-friendly 5 Star all-inclusive on a private island just off Isla Mujeres. Its location makes it feel rather exclusive and it has an absolutely pristine stretch of private beach. As the islet is small and is surrounded on almost all sides by open water many rooms come with lovely sea views. It’s a friendly, sociable place and, due to the limited size of the islet, can sometimes feel busy, but the atmosphere is always very nicely laid back, and with just … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Beach at Zoëtry Villa Rolandi an all inclusive resort in Isla Mujeres.

Zoëtry Isla Mujeres

Why We Recommend It: Zoëtry Villa Rolandi is a boutique 5 Star all-inclusive on Cancun’s Isla Mujeres built in 2015 to compliment one of The Riviera Maya’s most esteemed restaurants: the Swiss-Italian Casa Rolandi. It attracts a barefoot chic, upmarket crowd, and the atmosphere is quiet and calm – people very much come here to relax and unwind. With only 35 suites it is also remarkably small for an all-inclusive resort making it feel even more exclusive still. Among its facilities are three pools, the famous Casa Rolandi restaurant plus … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos

Why We Recommend It: Sandos Finisterra in Cabo San Lucas is a very impressive-looking, 250-room clifftop resort with arguably the best views of any resort in Los Cabos. It is an upmarket affair but offers a choice of reasonably priced rooms alongside plush VIP suites. The crowd is well-heeled and mature but can certainly let its hair down, so nightlife shouldn’t disappoint. The resort is also family friendly though and has a good kid’s club. Other facilities include four swimming pools, a lovely stretch of beach, a spa center, a … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Cozumel Palace

Why We Recommend It: The swanky, 175-room, Cozumel Palace All Inclusive lies near the center of San Miguel de Cozumel less than a mile from the ferry port. The stretch of beach is small here but the resort has a large pool area with wonderful open sea views. Their food is a highlight, rooms are spacious and comfortable, service is legendary, water-based activities are numerous, and overall Cozumel Palace offers a very enjoyable vacation. The resort is family-friendly but doesn’t have too much specifically for kids – though they do … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Bahia Principe Grand Tulum

Why We Recommend It: Bahia Principe Grand Tulum is a lively upper-range all-inclusive, part of a giant four-resort complex in Akumal, near Tulum, Mexico. It has two pools, a spa, a fitness center, twelve restaurants & bars, a PADI diving center, a stunning stretch of white sand beach and, just off-site, access to an 18-hole golf course and a casino. It is child friendly, and can be enjoyable for families – they have a great kid’s club for example, though the crowd seems to be more youngish adults. Its prices … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Ocean view at House of AiA, an all inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen.

Palmaïa, House of AïA

Why We Recommend It: Palmaïa, The House of AïA, is a very highly rated, 5 Star, wellness retreat in a private corner of Playacar Beach, Playa del Carmen. It only opened its doors in late 2019 but, despite this woefully unlucky timing, it has quickly created a buzz on the Riviera Maya and beyond. Eco-friendly vegan wellness might seem a tricky thing for an all-inclusive resort to pull off, and vice versa, but Palmaïa, The House of AïA has married the two to great effect. It offers ‘holistic activities and … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Beach at Grand Fiesta American Resort in Cancun.

Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach

Why We Recommend It: Don’t be misled by the somewhat tacky-sounding name, Grand Fiesta American Coral Beach has long been one of Cancun’s most sophisticated luxury resorts. One which has just recently gone all-inclusive. It occupies a prime position in the heart of the city’s hotel district but remains somewhat elegant, refined, and surprisingly peaceful. It also has possibly the best stretch of beach and water in the city and all rooms have ocean views. Its enormous Gem Spa is well known in Cancun for its great array of modern facilities including a 10-step … READ THE REVIEW HERE

The Royal Sands Cancun

Why We Recommend It: The Royal Sands is a consistently highly rated, upper mid-range all-inclusive in the middle of Cancun, Mexico’s Hotel Zone. It is part timeshare, part all-inclusive, and sees a nice mixture of guests of all ages, with families being possibly in the majority. Facilities include two large swimming pools, a kid’s pool, tennis courts, a fitness center, a full-service spa and complimentary bicycles. There is a lot of entertainment for kids, and for adults, but mainly during the day. Things tend to wind down relatively early here … READ THE REVIEW HERE
