Fact: time spent together as a family is MORE fun at the beach! Family vacays are where core memories are made for your kiddos, and when you go all-inclusive, it’s a carefree getaway for the parents, too.
It’s important to book a resort with something for everyone–think activities for the kids, a spa for mom and delicious food for dad. Lucky for you, we found that True Beach Loving families book these five resorts for that very reason!
Dreams Sands Cancun
If your family likes to have options, Dreams Sands Cancun is for you. This stunning all-inclusive is in the heart of the Cancun Hotel Zone, which means there are tons of shopping and restaurants nearby. Plus, the Hotel Zone is home to arguably the best beach in Cancun. There’s always something to do on property–we recommend checking out the ocean trampoline for a jumpin’ good time. And if the adults want a little alone time, the supervised Explorer Club for kids ages 3-12 is always hosting activities like crafts, treasure hunts and MORE.
Riu Palace Punta Cana
The palm-studded paradise of Riu Palace Punta Cana is a playground for families. It boasts three pools and its epic waterpark, Splash Water World. Let the kids zip down thrilling waterslides while you read by the pool with a cocktail in hand. Guests can enjoy bottomless plates from countless cuisines, including a poolside steakhouse with gorgeous island views. Pro tip: take advantage of this resort’s gorgeous backdrop and take family photos on the sparkling sands of Arena Gorda Beach!
Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya
Not too far from the iconic Mayan Ruins of Tulum is one of our favorite all-inclusive havens, Dreams Aventuras Riviera Maya. Guests can enjoy large, luxe accommodations with stunning tropical views. The resort itself is sprawled along a secluded bay with ocean vistas and a yacht-studded marina. It even includes a natural saltwater pool integrated into its beach area! There’s also a water park for family thrills, pickleball courts for friendly competition and movie nights on the beach for evening entertainment.
Ocean Coral Spring Jamaica
Embrace the fun-loving spirit of Montego Bay at Ocean Coral Spring Jamaica. It’s so beautiful you’ll never want to leave, and with 10 restaurants and nine bars to choose from, you don’t have to! Enjoy an amazing white sand beach steps away from the dedicated family pool with a water park and wait for it–a lazy river. Let the gentle current carry you round and round until you’re ready for a change of pace. Perhaps a trip to the on-site bowling alley or ice cream parlor? The choice is yours!
Dreams Jade Resort & Spa
What can we say, True Beach Lovers LOVE Cancun! Dreams Jade Resort & Spa is located on 2,600 feet of sugar-white sand between Playa del Carmen and Cancun’s Hotel Zone. It’s relaxed yet crawling with things to do. There are three pools, the main pool, an adults-only pool and a kids pool, six à la carte restaurants and a top-notch spa. It’s got a dedicated kids club and teens club with activities as well as outdoor fun like biking, mini golf and pickleball. Resort guests can also enjoy discounted greens fees at nearby golf courses!
