My kids 6 and 4 loved Sandos Caracol which is between Cancun and playa del Carmen. Their kids pool with slides is what they always remember.

both are very kid friendly
We liked the Melia for our 2.5 year old. We got the family room with bunk bed. Highly recommend it.

thanks, I've been wanting to try out PV for its ease of getting there but seeing as I've never been- wasn't sure where to start. I'll look into that family room

This is what our room looked like. we removed the ladder because our son was a climber. But being able to put him down for naps and close the curtains was almost like having a separate room for him. We never left him in the baby club. But it looked good. They really cater to small children and babies. Amble High chairs etc.
