There’s a fully equipped barbecue, perfect if you fancy cooking a meal and spending some time with the family in the great outdoors. The kids’ club offers outdoor and indoor activities – including arts and crafts, piñata-making and dancing – so parents can enjoy some me-time with a massage in a cozy bamboo beach cabana. The location of the hotel is ideal, as it’s right in front of the popular Isla Mall and next to the Scorpion’s Temple, where your children can enjoy feeding a couple of friendly iguanas.

This is an all-inclusive resort located next to the stunning beach of Punta Cancún. The Hyatt gives families the chance to spend some time together in its swimming pools and water park as well as on its beach but also offers the chance to spend some time doing your own thing. Adults can soak up the sun by the adults-only swimming pool knowing that the kids are having a great time at the kids’ club. There are numerous restaurants and lounges, and, of course, you can also eat in your own room if you’d like some quiet time.

If you can’t get enough of Mexican fare, then don’t miss out on the best spots for brunch or even the top markets in Cancún. And, if you’re looking for somewhere different to stay while you’re in town, why not try a unique boutique hotel? Alternatively, if you’d rather a stay where it’s just you and your other half, book one of the best honeymoon hotels in Cancun through Culture Trip. For adventures further afield, check out the top family-friendly hotels in Mexico City. You could extend your trip with a stay at a Puerto Vallarta resort or a resort in Playa del Carmen.
