All-inclusive resorts are a popular vacation option for
families. The convenience of knowing everything from your hotel room to food,
drinks, and most activities are included in one up-front price is often quite
appealing.
We’ve rounded up our favorite family all-inclusive resorts
from the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. We’re sure you’ll find
something your family will love on this list…
Azul Beach
Resort Negril - Jamaica

Jamaica’s Seven Mile Beach is famous for its dramatic sunset
views and tranquil waters. It’s the perfect Caribbean escape for families, and
this 5-star resort has everything your family could ask for. Beautiful spacious
accommodations, multiple pools, nine restaurants, a spa, a to-die-for beach…
and it’s all wrapped up in luxury.
The resort offers the “Karisma Gourmet Inclusive Experience”
to provide top-notch food and beverages. The restaurants on site feature
gourmet cuisine that is sure to impress even the foodies in your family, but
don’t think that means the kids won’t eat. The menus include kid-friendly
options as well. Just a taste (pun intended) of what you have to look forward
to… Mojito tastings, rooftop barbecues, innovative 12-course meals in top
restaurants, s’mores parties on the beach, traditional Jamaican meals,
margarita tastings, cooking classes, 24-hour room service, and more.
Azul Beach Resort makes traveling with the youngest kids as
comfortable as possible.
There is no need to pack all of the gear you typically have to travel with, the resort will provide you with just about anything you might need including cribs, bottle warmers, sterilizers, baby baths, changers, strollers, bathrobes, baby sleepers, diaper genie, baby monitor, high chair, pack 'n plays.

beach trips. Or they can hang out at the My Gym Center where they can enjoy trampolines,

Grand Velas
Riviera Nayarit

“Beyond All Inclusive, Beyond All Compare” is the motto of
Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, and the AAA Five Diamond
resort absolutely lives up to it!
From the moment you step foot in the gorgeous palapa lobby,
your every need is taken care of. The service is impeccable. The friendly and
welcoming staff will make you feel more like an extended family member rather
than a resort guest. They will greet you with a welcome beverage, a cold towel
and even a complimentary head and shoulder massage from one of the spa staff
members. Relax and enjoy… your vacation has officially begun!
Oprah Magazine listed this resort among their top choices in
an article titled “22 Family Vacation Destinations with Activities for All
Ages." The kids club offers activities such as an Alebrijes painting
workshop inspired by the Disney movie Coco, Spanish lessons, sand castle
building, kite flying, and much more. Teens have their own space and high-tech
club where they can enjoy karaoke, video games, air hockey, and a bar area with
sodas, and snacks.
They’ve even got something special for parents of infants
with their signature “baby concierge services” that provide all of the comforts
of home for your little ones – strollers, cribs with illuminated mobiles, baby
bathtubs, baby hammocks, and pretty much anything else you might need. Nannies
are available for childcare for an additional fee as well.
The accommodations are spacious and family-friendly with the
smallest one-bedroom suite giving you at least 1,000 square feet of space (two-
and three-bedroom suites are also available). Each suite is appointed with
Balinese teak furniture, a jacuzzi, a Nespresso coffee machine, and a private
terrace with a view of either the ocean or pool.

There is plenty of fun to be had outside your room too! There
is always something happening at the tri-level infinity pool or on the beach.
Your standard activities are included, but you will also have the option to
enjoy activities like boogie boarding, water polo, cooking classes, scuba
diving lessons.
Also Grand Velas has resorts in Cabo San Lucas and Rivera Maya.

Royalton Resorts & Spa is known for being
enthusiastically “all-in” for vacation fun. You can do as much or as little as
you want during your stay…
In addition to your typical beach and water activities, the
Royalton Resort family offer guests the chance to learn to surf on the
Flowrider ultimate surf machine, or if you prefer some lower-key relaxed fun,
spend an afternoon floating on the 1,200 ft lazy river that flows through
mini-caves and lush landscaping. Not all the activities are water-based either.
Take part in beach volleyball, mini-golf, ping pong, cooking classes, dance
classes, trivia games, aquatic Olympic competitions, aerobics classes, and
weight-training with professional instruction.
Looking for a more upscale experience? Consider booking a
room in the Diamond Club where guests enjoy upgraded service and amenities.
Diamond Club guests receive preferred suite locations, butler service,
preferential reservations in a la carte restaurants, access to a private
Diamond Club pool, and several other benefits.
Dining options are plentiful and enjoyable. In addition to
the casual buffets and poolside dining, specialty restaurants include an
Italian Trattoria, an upscale steakhouse, teppanyaki, Brazilian, and their
signature C/X Culinary Experience, with personal selections from the chef. Kids
will love the addition of an onsite food truck that has plenty of kid-friendly
options.
Royalton has locations in Cancun, Riviera Maya, St Lucia, Dominican Republic and opening soon in Antigua.
