Mihaela I agree with this, but Bahia Principe Tulum. It’s newly renovated with a beautiful water park. Closer to the beach and if you stay at Tulum you can take the tram to the Coba section which has another water park. Small buildings and wonderful staff and grounds.

Eryn I haven’t been there for 2 years but yeah they didn’t have buffet. Everything was table service. I think they had 2 or 3 specialty restaurants in addition to the main one.
Room service was amazing served right on your balcony. French toast for breakfast was amazing!

Been here several times as my parents have a timeshare. We love it and my kids had a blast, but it’s not really set up for all inclusive so the plans are quite pricey.

Hailey we never do the all inclusive. They are many great restaurants within walking distance and we buy food from the grocery store for breakfast and lunch.

Hailey

Michael - Yes, us too! I’ve never done the all inclusive there but if someone was looking for that setup, this wouldn’t be the best place.

Sandos caracol eco resort was awesome with littles. The sand in the water was rocky though so bring water shoes. We lived at the water park though, the kids didn’t want to leave. https://www.sandos.com/sandos.../eco-all-inclusive-resort...

Grand Sirenis, Riviera Maya. There's many pools and a lazy river, kid's club, kid activities, snorkeling off the beach, bike tour of the resort, BBQ area by the beach, buffet and ala carte restaurants. Rooms are large. Some staff told us that they had left other resorts to work there. You could easily spend a week there without being bored.

Hard Rock Riviera Maya!! We went there when our girls were 2 and 4 and we had an amazing time. There’s a water park and kids pool area, a water slide park with a toddler area, kids fun center, the beach is very family friendly. Great entertainment for families as well. Our kids still remember it and rave about that trip and can’t wait to go back one day!!
