The beach at Grand Velas is not great. Fairmont Mayakovsky is great and AI is optional

We just came back from Cancun and didn't do an all inclusive because with two kids under the age of 6, it wasn't worth it for me to spend the 120$/pp fee (and kids counted as people) for a low-end all inclusive. I would one day like to stay in one because it would be more relaxing with little kids.


Not a PP but I just looked at Grand Velas for a week in June 2019 (we're looking into a family trip) and it was $1000/night.

I have heard good things about the Paradisus Esmerelda and it's about half that.

I've been there twice and would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat.

Moon Palace (or any of the Palace Resorts) would be my first choice and recommendation for you!

Please recommend a great resort for family with elementary age kids in Riviera Maya. We don't need all inclusive although not opposed to it.
