Remember the weather is almost guaranteed perfect on the pacific side that time of year. Cancun can be cool and rainy some days. Just an FYI
Allan
We are pretty open to any part of Mexico, so any resort suggest that are kid friendly are appreciated
Cindy
Now Amber in Puerto Vallarta. Talked to people who loved it and went a second time with their 7 year old twins because of the kids club. We went without kids and also enjoyed it. Kids club looked pretty cool. Weather is more unpredictable on the Cancun side in Jan.

We second this place. The “indoor” pool was fantastic when we needed a break from the sun, but the best part was we all really enjoyed the food.

I have sent clients to ocean riviera (3 kids) and they loved it. All of the Riu’s are great (just got back from Riu Vallarta last week). Hotel xcaret is amazing I took clients in January there. Dreams puerto aventuras my three kids loved. We also loved the grand sirenis! Feel free to message me with any questions. I have been all over Mexico (26 times) and would be happy to answer any questions you may have!
Jodie
Sandos Caracol in Playa del Carmen was amazing.....waterpark, animals, and snorkeling right at the resort
Amanda
Barcelo Mayan Riviera. You won’t find a better family resort. Still my kids fav. They literally have anything and everything you can think of to do. The kids club is amazing (even better then other barcelos).
Karen
My kids ask when we are going back also. Went to Crown Paradise - no comparison. Barcelo much superior
Amanda
There is just so much to do there 7 days wasn’t enough. We went last year and have been to 3 places since, going on a trip next month and it’ll always be their fav. There is no comparison for activities and it’s a 11/10 resort. We will go back eventually but right now we are exploring.
Kate
Amanda never been. Is there specific resort you recommend? Google pops up bunch in same area.
Amanda
It is one massive resort. The part we stayed at what the tropical.
Marisol
We stayed at The Beach area.
Donna
Grand Bahia Princpi Coba
Rhonda
Grand Sirenis. It has Everything! Lazy River plus many other pools, snorkelling from shore, kids club, excellent buffet and ala carte restaurants, ice cream 'bar', lunch bbq, evening entertainment, spa, etc etc Also, I highly recommend that you splurge for Joya the Cirque de Soleil show. We have been to others, this one is fantastic! We booked tickets in advance, picked them up on site, and took a cab door to door. They are very organized for this.
Mariana
Sandos Caracol playa del Carmen . We loved it . Waterpark is fantastic for the kids .
