Cancun's a Fiesta of Family Fun
When you choose a resort in the Cancun area (Cancun, Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen), consider the ages and interests of your kids. The best value is an all-inclusive resort - casual and fine dining, outdoor activities, and so much more included. Many have a special kids-zone for children keeping kids occupied with supervised games, dancing, ceramics, and swimming. Many parents drop their kids off and do their own thing.
Cancun: More family oriented, okay for teens and great for young children
Playa del Carmen: Great for teens, especially girls who love the 5th Avenue shops
Mayan Riviera: Adult and family oriented – great for small children, okay for teens
Before you leave
Get beach shoes for all the children
Get sun screen, hats, and sunglasses for the kids
Get mosquito repellant: While Cancun’s ocean breezes keep insects in check, if you take inland excursions, you will need repellant.
Bottled water is recommended and is readily available – use for brushing teeth, too.
