tips and watch-outs from families who've been there
sleep
- Rooms are spacious and well-designed, but are starting to show their age
- Plenty of space to stash cribs and baby gear, and the hotel will childproof on request
- Housekeeping is incredibly thoughtful: sofa beds are prepped during turndown, wet swimsuits are laid in the sun, and snacks and fruit appear like magic
- Expect sweet touches like baby bathrobes, toys, and surprise stuffed animals
- Oceanview Suites are steps from Punta Bonita Pool and the kids club while Lagoon suites are convenient to restaurants and Casa del Lago Pool - but golf carts and bikes make it easy to get around no matter where you're staying
- 3-, 4-, and 5-bedroom residences are also available—ideal for multi-gen trips or families traveling together
- Some room categories don’t allow children (we’ve excluded those from our listings)
play
- Kids Club is complimentary, with thoughtful programming for little ones
- They offer a free daily nature boat tour for kids—book with your butler (it fills up!)
- The property is very spread out, but easy to navigate by golf cart, bikes, or kid bike wagons
- Butlers are incredibly helpful—use the app to communicate for activities, rides, or anything else
- Airport pickup is seamless, complete with stuffed animals waiting in the car for your kids
- There’s a quiet family pool near Casa del Lago and a livelier beachside Punta Bonita Pool with ocean views
- No shortage of chairs—no need to rush to save pool or beach spots
- Monkeys and wildlife can often be spotted around the property
- They go all out for special celebrations (from birthdays to anniversaries)
- Seaweed can be an issue at the beach during certain seasons (as with most Riviera Maya properties)
eat
- Multiple restaurants onsite — no need to leave the resort unless you want to
- The team is accommodating of food allergies
- Have breakfast delivered to your patio at least once — robes, coffee, and a view
- Expect to be greeted with snacks waiting in your room upon arrival
- On Saturdays, look out for Champagne O’Clock on the beach— free champagne for you, sparkling apple juice for the kids.
- Book a babysitter one night and dine at La Ceiba, a communal table experience shared with fellow guests and staff. We recommend doing it early in your trip—it’s a great way to meet other families.
- If there’s a beach party during your stay, go! Dining by the ocean with live music is magical. (Note: It sometimes ends with fireworks, so check with staff if your kids are sensitive to loud noises.)
