Best Club Med Resorts in Mexico

Club Med Cancun Yucatan is a stylish all-inclusive resort nestled on the southern end of Cancun, Mexico's Hotel Zone. Its accommodations, which sit within 12 three-story buildings, feature tile or hardwood floors, wrought-iron details and vivid red, pink, purple and orange accents. Although some past guests were underwhelmed with the rooms and suites, many appreciated their ample space and amenities. Expect to find flat-screen TVs, minibars and walk-in rain showers. Outside your room, you'll discover three restaurants that serve Mexican or Argentinian cuisine. The property's all-inclusive rates cover all meals and drinks at these venues, as well as a wine cellar, two bars and three lounges. But what brings guests back time and time again is this Club Med property's kid-friendly atmosphere. Mini Club Med engages children ages 4 to 10 with supervised games, talent show performances and cooking lessons. Meanwhile, Club Med Passworld offers tweens and teens their own private hangout area. Plus, all room rates include participation in scavenger hunts, sports tournaments and lessons for activities like windsurfing and sailing. Whether or not you're traveling with young ones in tow, you'll probably want to dedicate some of your time in Mexico to relaxing on the beach. You can lay your towel at two easily accessible beaches along Cancun Bay, both of which offer loungers and parasols.

The Club Med brand has garnered a sterling reputation among travelers for its extensive all-inclusive packages and top-notch facilities. And according to previous visitors, the Ixtapa branch makes its parent company proud. Guests love that they don't have to worry about their travel budget while staying here. Apart from accommodations, the nightly rate covers all meals and drinks at Club Med Ixtapa Pacific's four restaurants and three bars, as well as a variety of activities, such as cooking lessons, tennis, kayaking and fitness classes. Parents craving some grown-up time will especially appreciate the kid-friendly services afforded by Club Med's vacation package: The resort's childcare experts ensure little ones and pre-teens are looked after while their parents unwind at the wellness facilities or the pool. And for families that enjoy spending time together, Club Med Ixtapa Pacific offers something quite special: circus school and flying trapeze lessons at no additional cost. After you've enjoyed a little excitement, the resort's spacious accommodations — with their colorful decor, flat-screen TVs and espresso machines — provide a tranquil respite. You'll find Club Med Ixtapa Pacific located about 5 miles west of Ixtapa along Mexico's Pacific coast.
