Cancun is a great destination for a family vacation for many of the same reasons it appeals to travelers flying solo or as a couple: nearly endless choices of all-inclusive resorts and entertainment, lots of all-inclusive properties, a resort district that’s conveniently close to the airport, and a world-class beach. Some Cancun all-inclusive resorts, however, go the extra mile to appeal to families, so whether you want to swing on a trapeze at Club Med, loll on a lazy river at the Moon Palace, or choose your own adventure, here are the top family resorts in Cancun, with a guide to the family-focused programming at each resort in Cancun.

The Hard Rock, of course, has a kids Music Lab as part of its all-inclusive package, where aspiring young stars can test their musical skills onstage, complete with guitars, drums, and coaching. Other activities designed with kids in mind include DJ mixing sessions and recording music videos and songs. Beyond the family activities, this is just a great resort, with myriad options for adults, too, including the always-outstanding Rock Spa.
