Here’s another resort which can accommodate up to 13 people in their suites. That’s got to be a record, I haven’t come across another resort which can accommodate that many guests in one suite with multiple bedrooms.
The Royal Sands is another Cancun all-inclusive resort perfect for accommodating families of 5+; it is approximately a 20-25 min. drive north of the Cancun airport. This resort is part of Royal Resorts (a timeshare/vacation club or whatever it may be labelled these days), so just keep that in mind when booking this resort. That means that if you are staying over on a Saturday (and you are not a timeshare owner) you just may be asked to change rooms due to owners having first dibs on particular rooms for their dates of stay. Other than that, this is a good choice for basic pool and beach fun in the sun for larger families/parties traveling together.
Here’s another all-inclusive resort to add to the list of those that cater to larger families–Seadust Cancun Family Resort. This resort is located on an eastern-facing beach in Cancun’s Hotel Zone between Iberostar Selection Coral and what used to be known as the Royal Islander–an excellent location in terms of being fairly close to the Cancun airport (a 15 min. drive) for those families who don’t want to spend another hour getting to a resort after a potentially long flight with children in tow. Vacationers should be aware that this resort, in a way, looks like a cruise ship, both interior and exterior-wise. It’s rather cavernous once you step inside the lobby area, and the sound may carry upwards to some interior hallways which lead to guest rooms. Best to request rooms on higher floors if noise bothers you.
In case you’re wondering what the rooms look like at SLS Playa Mujeres, here’s a short video done by Shoreline Destinations to show you! This seems to be a Captivate Swim-Out King room category; interesting concept with the short walk to the actual swim-out pool and the very private terrace. I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like the bathroom area may be able to be closed off entirely by a sliding door.
I get quite a few inquiries requesting information about all-inclusive resorts that can accommodate families of 5 or more…Many existing resorts can only comfortably accommodate families of 4 but obviously not all families vacationing together only consist of 2 parents and 2 children–it’s become quite a vacation trend for multigenerational family vacations where there are lots of people wanting to stay together in close proximity to one another.
Finally, A quality video about what this brand new adults-only luxury resort has to offer. If you are interested in luxury Cancun all-inclusive resorts, here’s the latest the area has to offer.
If you’ve been reading my recent posts you already know that I took a 10 day solo vacay in the Riviera Maya in Dec. 2023. This video is my swim-up room at the last resort I stayed at, Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya. This property used to be Secrets Capri; the resort was closed for complete renovations and reopened Dec. 1, 2022 as a Hyatt Zilara property (all Hyatt Zilara resorts are adults-only, while Hyatt Ziva are family-friendly resorts). The room category shown in the video is a Tropical View Swim-Up King.
If you are tracking what’s going on with the newly opened Secrets Playa Blanca Costa Mujeres, you will know that pools are plentiful, ocean views are gorgeous, and business is kind of slow right now, but that is as expected for a newly opened resort that has already made it known that some of their amenities won’t be open until June.
As part of my latest solo trip to the Riviera Maya I stayed at Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen. This Wyndham is an adults-only resort with a convenient location to 5th Avenue, PDC’s clubs, and famous Mamita’s Beach Club. It also has an affordable price point for those looking for a very good all-inclusive at a reasonable price.
In case you are not aware, I traveled to the Riviera Maya Dec. 2023 on a solo trip and stayed at 3 resorts–Wyndham Alltra Playa del Carmen, Secrets Tulum Resort and Beach Club, and Hyatt Zilara Riviera Maya (the old Secrets Capri).
