Looking for suggestions for a resort:
-Mexico-Caribbean side
-All inclusive
-Family of 5
-Prefer connecting rooms
-Small resort
-Somewhat excluded (not on a “strip”/hotel
Zone)
-Air Canada flights (but don’t make this a priority in your suggestions)
So many resorts are maximum 4 occupancy. A large percentage of families are more than 4. So frustrating!

we were just at the marival emotions in nuevo vallarta two weeks ago with my 1.5 yr old son, lots of stuff for kids, a kids club and a kids pool area with water slides... lots of food options.. not the best resort I stayed at but my son had a blast

Sandos Caracol Eco Resort-family room has a sea parade bedroom with trundle bunks-2 single beds/1double-main room with a king-bathroom has 2 showers/double sinks/2water closets-23 stayed there in 2018 with our 3 kids age 16/13/9 at that time and was perfect!!!

We’re staying at
Crown Paradise Club Cancún this next week I did a lot of research for our fam of 5 and it had the best kids clubs and things to do!! Our friends have been and loooved it, we got direct flights with west jet too

Melissa what is the room configuration? Is it side by side with other resorts?

Grand Sirenis is great for families. It is not a small resort though

There’s a few in Puerto Vallarta as well. And outside of PV too

try Grand Sunset Princess Maya Riviera near tullum. its about a 45 min drive from Cancun

Jason second this one. Stayed there with family a couple years ago. They had a blast (kids aged 8 and 10).

Paradise Village in Nuevo Vallarta fantastic for families and lots of activities for kids.

Cuba! Holguin area. Farm/rural area. Hour bus from the Holguin airport was our resort. Sol Rio de Lunas y Mares (it’s a Melia). AMAZING place and people. Backs to the Dolphinarium where you can catamaran/bus there and swim with them with lobster lunch for very good price. Awesome beach! Horseback riding onsite. Great area!
Cuba!

We loved Marina El CID. Nice, small resort. I believe you can do connecting rooms. We had a room with 2 beds and a Murphy bed. 5 people.

Rochelle we have also been there and loved it!!!

Hualtulco!! Las Brisas Resort awesome for all ages kids, Dreams Resort a little more Americanized. Beaches at Las brisas are calm and they have a coral reef you can snorkel at.

Dreams Puerto Adventuras and Sandos Caracol are family friendly and have rooms for families of 5

Cancun - sunset marina!

The sandos caracol eco resort was amazing for a family of 5. The family rooms have a separate bedroom with the bunk bed/trundle in it. I was worried about my son being on the top bunk so the resort brought in a separate single bed for us at no charge. The kids room also had their own bathroom, couch and tv. Lots of space for everyone.

Riu Dunamar in Playa Mujeres, Cancun. They have connecting rooms and Splash Waterslides. Very secluded area. Close to airport.

Sandos Playacar! Great beach, resort and staff are awesome!

Another for sandos Caracol. We were there last year with our daughter as 3 grandkids ( 5,7,9) and they loved it

Dreams Dominicus DR. We did 2 weeks there. Small, everything was amazing! It’s only a couple years old. I’d go back 100% which says a lot haha

Cuba
Holguin area

We just stayed at the iberostar paradiso lindo in the Mayan and loved it!

I can add you to our friends and family deals at sunwing of ya want?
