Sherron

Hi, any recommendations for a resort in Mexico (preference is Cancun and Cabo) to entertain a Family of 5 with a 19 and two 17 year olds.
Looking for:
- All inclusive OR condo with access to resort amenities and option to purchase all inclusive day passes.
- Option to rent family suite or adjoining rooms.
- Located within hotel zone or closer to Cancun.
- Free PCR testing would be a added bonus.
Thank you in advance,
Sherron

I could check out vrbo OR airbnb. Mexico is so inexpensive so you can “do more activities”…spend less on the expensive food and drink in a resort, and live your best life! Alcohol is cheap at most places!

Mexico Family Resort Recommendations for Sherron

Hi Sherron,

Planning a family vacation with teenagers can be tricky! Finding a resort that caters to both adults and younger adults requires careful consideration. Based on your preferences for Cancun/Cabo, all-inclusive options or condos with resort access, family suites, and proximity to the Hotel Zone, here are some recommendations:

Cancun:

All-Inclusive Resorts:

  • Hyatt Ziva Cancun: This resort is known for its excellent location in the Hotel Zone, multiple pools (including an adults-only option), a wide variety of dining choices, and plenty of activities for all ages. They often have family suite options or connecting rooms. Check their website for current PCR testing policies.
  • Sun Palace (Couples Only - for a Parent Getaway): If you're considering a separate adults-only trip, Sun Palace is a luxurious option with stunning ocean views, top-notch service, and gourmet dining.
  • Crown Paradise Club Cancun: This resort is specifically geared towards families with separate areas for kids and teens, including a water park. They offer family suites and various all-inclusive packages. Again, check their site for current PCR testing availability.

Condo with Resort Access:

  • The Royal Islander All Suites Resort: This resort offers spacious villas with kitchenettes and multiple bedrooms, ideal for families. While not all-inclusive, they offer various dining options and you can often purchase day passes for all-inclusive privileges. Located within the Hotel Zone, they are close to all the action.

Cabo:

All-Inclusive Resorts:

  • Paradisus Los Cabos: This luxury resort offers a wide array of activities, dining experiences, and beautiful accommodations. Family concierge services can assist with finding suitable connecting rooms or suites. Confirm PCR testing availability upon booking.
  • Grand Velas Los Cabos: For a truly upscale experience, Grand Velas Los Cabos is a fantastic option. It offers spacious suites, personalized service, and gourmet dining options. Be sure to inquire about PCR testing options.

Condo with Resort Access:

  • Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa Cabo San Lucas: Located on Medano Beach, this resort offers a range of accommodation options, from studios to multi-bedroom villas. While not fully all-inclusive, they offer various meal plans and day passes that can be added. Check their website for PCR testing details.

Tips for Booking:

  • Book in Advance: Especially during peak season, booking early is essential to secure your preferred dates and room type.
  • Compare Prices: Use travel websites and contact resorts directly to compare pricing and package deals.
  • Read Reviews: Check out reviews from other families to get a better sense of the resort's atmosphere and amenities.
  • Confirm PCR Testing Policy: As testing requirements can change, always double-check the resort's current policy before you travel.

I hope this helps! Have a wonderful family vacation!
