Shuttle drive time from airport: About 15 minutes

Looking for an all-inclusive Cancún resort where your toddler will easily be entertained – and easily able to take a midday nap when they're tired? Consider a stay at the highly rated Moon Palace Cancun, where toddler-friendly amenities include swimming pools (one with a kids play area), a playground, mini-golf and a game room appropriately named the Playroom.

All-inclusive rates at Moon Palace Cancun cover a wide variety of on-site dining options – such as Italian, Brazilian and Pan-Asian – which can be enjoyed around the clock thanks to 24-hour room service. The food, in particular, earns high praise from recent guests.

Rates also cover nonmotorized water sports, pool and beach access, and entertainment such as pyrotechnic shows – as well as accommodations, which include Superior Family Suites (with two connecting rooms) and Swim Up Suites. If you enjoy golf, be sure to schedule a tee time at the resort's 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course.

Most parents agree this all-inclusive resort is one of the best all-around options for families visiting Cancun. Many travelers also recommend The Grand at Moon Palace , which offers even more restaurants and activities, including a water park.

Courtesy of Wyndham Alltra Cancun

Shuttle drive time from airport: About 25 minutes

Formerly Panama Jack Resorts Cancun, Wyndham Alltra opened its doors in 2022. The all-inclusive resort maintains the family-friendly amenities of its predecessor, which include swimming pools, around a dozen dining options, family suites and, of course, direct access to the beach in Cancun's Hotel Zone.

Camp Alltra is the highlight for the elementary-aged set, with a pirate ship water play area featuring seven waterslides, a ball pit and hanging bridges. Camp Alltra hosts children ages 4 to 12 during the day and in the evening, so you might just be able to enjoy a massage or facial at the on-site Aura Spa.

Staff also host beach games and arts and crafts activities; nightly entertainment includes mariachi bands and family movies. Recent guests praise the resort, particularly its friendly staff.

Courtesy of Beach Palace

Parents love this resort for its small size – which is great for tweens who want to explore on their own – in addition to the clean beach and staff. Many note that resort employees are quick to learn your family's names and food preferences.

Kids and adults alike enjoy Beach Palace's outdoor pools, water activities like stand-up paddleboarding and Las Vegas-style performances, including musical acts and fire shows. Dining options span six restaurants, three bars and a coffee shop. There's also a spa and plenty of add-on Cancun excursions to attractions such as Chichén Itzá . While the resort has a fantastic kids club, tweens might not be interested as it's designed for children ages 4 to 12.

Book a stay in a Superior Family Deluxe suite, where your tween(s) can feel like grownups with a kids minibar (stocked with chocolate milk and juice), an Xbox 360, a beach bucket kit and a room service menu just for kids. Children and teens often stay and eat free at Beach Palace thanks to recurring promotions, so be sure to check current offers when booking your stay.

Located in Cancún's Hotel Zone, the Hard Rock features a lagoon-style pool, nonmotorized water sports, and courts for tennis and basketball. Recent visitors appreciate the accommodating staff and the kids programming at this resort, though some caution the adults-only crowd can get rowdy here.
