Best all inclusive resort for families in Cancun and Riviera Maya Mexico areas

There are many all inclusive resorts in Cancun and Riviera Maya Mexico areas. How do you choose? Luckily we have compiled a list based on our research on the Best all inclusive resort for families in Cancun Mexico. With family or non adults only all inclusive resorts, there are kids, 18 and under.  By allowing kids, there are usually kids stuff, perhaps big slides and kids clubs. You will encounter kids. There is nothing wrong with kids, but if you want to get away from kids or do not want to encounter kids, it maybe better to seek and adults only resort.

If you have no other choice than to book at a non adults only resort, you may want to check if there is an adults only area. In our list you can go wrong with any of these. It's all about your own personal preferences:

  1. Style - Do you prefer a modern chic or sleek hotel or do you prefer a more rustic Mexican Yucatan jungle feel? Do you prefer a more up to date look and feel or is it OK that the place has not been updated in a while?

  2. Location - Some resorts are 30 minutes north of Cancun Airport and some are 45 minutes south the Cancun Airport. The closer you are to downtown Cancun, the more crowded it will be. The more south of the airport there will still be tourists at resorts but it will be a little isolated. Not a bad thing, if you plan on just staying and eating at the resort. Getting anywhere else for activities will require transportation and some travel. My preference is the south, in the Mayakoba/Rivera Maya areas.

  3. Food - This is usually one of my deciders. Each of the resort will probably offer the same variety of food. There will be a Mexican/Taco type restaurant, Italian, Asian fusion offering sushi and Asian flavors, beachfront barbeque, and they always have to gave a simple pizza and burger place. What I like to look for is if the resort has a chef that showcases his food, where there is a chef that takes his food to the next level. For example at Le Blanc, they have Lumiere, a french dining experience in Mexico, bring on the 14-course tasting menu. When it comes to budget vs higher-end, it may be hot dogs and hamburgers vs filet mignon.

  4. Spa - See if the all inclusive resort highlights their spa. Some resorts have spas and some resorts have SPAs!!! Some spas just offer massages and get away with calling themselves a spa, but some spas are oasis, where you want to spend the whole day with endless treatments.

  5. Activities - Sure you go to an all inclusive to relax and I could spend every day all day at the pool. But I do want to say play golf, tennis, or maybe take a cooking class. I would also take into consideration, the types of activities are offered at the resort versus having to go out on an excursion. Most resorts offer daily activities at no cost. It's not an all day thing, but it's a break from relaxing. Who knew you needed a break from relaxation.

  6. Beach - you may see reviews about the beaches where the resorts are located. Some resort the beaches are full of seaweed and not maintained that well. Some beaches the beaches are pristine.
