by Family vacation is back on! Some parents want to chill out. Others will want to explore coral reefs.
The kids want to hang out with anyone that isn’t their parents. And everybody just wants to get out of the darn house! But how do you find one destination with something for everyone?
We’re here to help. Here are three of our favourite resorts that are great for the whole family.
- HYATT ZIVA | CANCUN, MEXICO
You simply can’t go wrong with Hyatt Ziva Cancun. It’s conveniently located near the airport, which should save a few Are we there yet?s from the kids. And while they may be family friendly, they’re designed with everyone in mind.
WHERE IT IS: On the pristine coast of Cancun in the Mayan Riviera
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Their eco-holistic, Mayan-inspired sanctuary offers no less than 13 treatment rooms and six beachfront palapas.
WHY THE KIDS’LL LOVE IT: The KidZ Club has not one but two kid-friendly pools, a beach playground and supervised activities for kids. And hard-to-impress teens can sulk, or maybe even make some new friends at @Moods Lounge and Club, Cancun’s exclusive teen-only hangout.
HOW THEY’RE KEEPING YOUR FAMILIES SAFE: Across all Hyatts, their Global Care & Cleanliness Commitment is focused on keeping both staff and guests safe.
- FINEST RESORTS | PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
The name pretty much says it all. Finest Resorts’ Punta Cana location offers families that sweet spot between relaxation and excitement, style and comfort—on all the magnificent coast of the Caribbean.
WHERE IT IS: on Dominican Republic’s most spectacular region, Punta Cana
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: Get your choice of incredible, comfortable, and stylish suites, including Swim-Up Suites, Private Pool Suites, or Family Suites—complete with an extra bedroom for kids. And they can even come stocked with baby care items should you need them.

- HARD ROCK | LOS CABOS, MEXICO

WHERE IT IS: Los Cabos, on Mexico’s rustic west coast.

At Roxity Kids Club™, they can make crafts, play games, rock out at live concerts, and make new friends from around the world. And the Cavern Club is loaded with Air Hockey, Pool Table, XBox One, Board Games and arcade games. Basically, you won’t see the kids for your entire stay.
