What to look for

The best luxury family resorts in Cancún, and just south.

Around Cancún, a family trip comes down to one choice: a short drive from the airport, or a little further for more bedrooms.

Playa Mujeres and Punta Nizuc keep the drive short. Mayakoba, down the Riviera Maya, is where the three-bedroom residences and six-bedroom villas are. We say exactly where each one sits.
