Grand Velas Riviera Maya

The Best Family Resorts in Mexico for a Stress-Free Escape | Condé Nast Traveler

"This is the rare all-inclusive that elevates convenience to true luxury, sprawling over 200 acres of jungle and Caribbean beachfront just north of Playa del Carmen. Families spread out in massive suites with ocean or mangrove views while staff remember names by day two and a baby concierge handles everything from bottle warmers to bath toys. Kids and teens clubs go well beyond basics with eco treks, cooking lessons, and themed movie nights, while adults drift to a spa considered among Mexico’s best or savor adults-only dinners at Cocina de Autor, the resort’s Michelin-starred restaurant. Three distinct ambiances tailor the vibe: Zen Grand’s koi-pond calm in the jungle, beach-fronted Ambassador for families near the action, and Grand Class for privacy and plunge-pool sunsets." - Jenn Sinrich
