As a full-time family travel blogger and mom, I’ve had the joy (and challenge!) of traveling to over 30 destinations with our adventurous 7 and 9‑year‑old in tow. Along the way, we’ve discovered which resorts truly cater to families — not just with kid-friendly amenities, but with the kind of comfort, food, and fun that make everyone happy. If you’re planning your next tropical getaway, here are our top 5 favorite all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean (and beyond!) that have earned our family’s seal of approval: if you’re looking for more details visit my Instagram page where I have highlights of all the resorts we’ve visited !

1. Hilton Cancun Mar Caribe
This resort checks all the boxes — stunning beachfront views, great food, and an activity-packed kids’ club. It’s elegant without being stuffy, which means parents can relax while kids stay entertained. It’s a small property which I love and the beach is fantastic!
2. Dreams Sapphire Resort & Spa
We loved this one so much! The water park, spacious family suites, and nightly entertainment make it a standout for families. It’s also beautifully laid out so everything is easy to access — even with tired little legs. The two story villa in the Indigo Preffered club was such a dream however their regular rooms are also beautiful! The resort has amazing amenities and great service so no matter what part you stay in you’ll have the best time ! Make sure you try their passion fruit daiquiri and margaritas – they are the best I’ve ever had.
3. Bahia Principe Grand Coba
A great value for families who want the full resort experience without breaking the bank. We have visited this resort twice and have zero complaints. The kids loved the splash park, and we appreciated the variety of dining options and shaded areas around the pool. The property is huge and stunning and depending on which property you stay on you may have access to the other two! There is also an option to purchase a daily wristband if you decide to stay at Coba but want access to the other resorts!
4. Grand Riviera Princess Resort & Spa
Huge property, great beach, and lots of family activities. We’ve actually been here twice as well and loved it both times ! It’s perfect if you’re looking for a lively atmosphere and plenty of things to do. The kids’ club here was a big hit, and the nightly shows were surprisingly impressive. I highly recommend the upgrade to the family princess club- the rooms come with bunk beds, access to their waterpark and a ton of other perks !
5. Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta
Though technically on Mexico’s Pacific coast, this gem deserves a spot. Another resort we have visited twice and it’s definitely one of our family favourites! With its sprawling infinity pools, incredible private beach (I explain more about how it’s “private” in the story highlight on my Instagram page daily kids’ activities, and beautiful Pacific sunsets, it’s a wonderful addition — and a great option if you want to mix it up outside the usual Caribbean routine. It’s a more quiet resort without a kids waterpark but the views are breathtaking, the property is immaculate and the food was incredible. They also have a kids club with a ton of activities throughout the day. The only thing lacking was evening entertainment so if that’s your jam then this probably isn’t the place for you!
These resorts have given our family some of our best vacation memories — and hopefully they’ll do the same for yours!
