Resorts where every age group has a blast — from toddler splash zones to teen clubs and adult-only pools.
205 resorts reviewed and ranked by expert score
Our Top 3 Picks
Grand Velas Los Cabos
Los Cabos, Mexico
Grand Velas Los Cabos is the gold standard of luxury all-inclusive in Mexico. A Michelin-starred restaurant included in your rate, butler service for every guest, and suites that dwarf the competition — nothing else in Los Cabos comes close at this tier. The price is real and the beach is not swimmable, but if your budget allows, this is the most complete ultra-luxury all-inclusive experience in the country.
Grand Velas Riviera Maya
Riviera Maya, Mexico
Grand Velas Riviera Maya is the undisputed apex of luxury all-inclusive in Mexico. Eight restaurants — headlined by Michelin-starred Cocina de Autor — deliver dining that rivals standalone fine-dining establishments. The Forbes Five-Star SE Spa, housed inside a natural cenote, is the best spa at any all-inclusive in the Western Hemisphere. For those who can afford the premium, it rewards handsomely.
Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit
Riviera Nayarit, Mexico
Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit is the gold standard of all-inclusive on Mexico's Pacific coast — the only property in the region to hold AAA Five Diamond status for 18 consecutive years. At $700-$1,800 per night it demands a real commitment, but what it delivers — six gourmet restaurants with a French executive chef, a spectacular three-tier infinity pool, 1,000+ sq ft suites, concierge service for every guest, and a Kids Club that parents genuinely rave about — is a near-complete luxury resort experience.
