Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort
Nestled along the pristine shores of the Caribbean’s coastline, the Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort is one of, if not the best, family-friendly resorts. The all-inclusive resort has facilities for every age group, including a vibrant kids club catered towards children aged 4-12, featuring an outdoor playground and scheduled activities such as piñata making and mask decorating. Teens aren’t left out either, with a dedicated club offering a range of activities from water volleyball to video game showdowns.
Their spacious Family Suites, designed with kids in mind, are located closer to the property’s family-friendly amenities such as the sparkling pools, water slides and the Kids Club. Exclusive suite amenities include large building blocks, a teepee, toys, sunblock and bath toiletries for kids, a teddy bear and coloring books
For adults seeking relaxation and culinary delights, the resort boasts an international bar and the expansive buffet at Vela Sur, where gastronomic delights await around the clock. Looking for a sweet treat? An adorable ice cream and churro shop is just a skip away from one of the resort’s nine pools, each offering its own unique ambiance, from a tranquil oasis for the adults to a lively hub for the whole family.
For a taste of Mexico’s rich viticulture, parents can embark on a guided journey with a sommelier, accompanied by delectable hors d’oeuvres inspired by the country’s renowned wine regions. And for a lazier day, 16 treatment rooms and hydro massage therapy await amidst the lush tropical forest. Meanwhile, fitness enthusiasts can break a sweat at the on-site gym or partake in beachside group classes led by certified instructors.
Most extraordinary are the resort’s Enclave rooms, which include private check-in and check-out, access to the Enclave Lounge for more private dining and pool experiences, and charming in-room welcome amenities and more thoughtful perks that will make your stay feel even more special.
Hilton Cancun, An All-Inclusive Resort
Nestled between Cancun and the quiet fishing village of Puerto Morelos, set on a secluded stretch of Mayan Coastline, the Hilton Cancun offers a quieter escape for families. The all-inclusive resort, which first opened in November 2021, features 715 stylish guest rooms – all offering panoramic views of nature and the ocean, including the resort’s sought-after Swim-Up Poolside rooms, featuring a pool connected directly to the patio.
The headlining feature of Hilton Cancun, however, is their wide range of culinary experiences. The property has 12 all-inclusive, authentic, globally inspired restaurants, including five signature restaurants, a kid-friendly all-you-can-eat ice cream and churro shop, and a taqueria with a mezcal and tequila bar.
While the kids busy themselves at the splash pool or with games and activities at the kids club, adults can relax at the Waldorf Astoria Spa Cancun. Just next door to the resort, the unique spa blends innovative treatments with holistic Mayan traditions. The spa offers 21 treatment rooms, both inside and outside, that incorporate fresh garden herbs, locally sourced oils, and healing crystals.
