Best Family Hotels in Tulum

One of the perks of the resort's Unlimited Luxury all-inclusive program is a complimentary club for children ages 3 to 12. The Explorer's Club offers supervised activities like arts and crafts, hiking, resort nature tours, sandcastle building and movies on the beach. The club also features a playground and both board and video games and offers a special camping adventure on the beach once per week. In addition to all of the resort's complimentary activities, daily activities geared to teens include sports and games, weekly bonfires and disco mixers.

Children are welcome at Ana y José Charming Hotel & Spa, but there are few amenities other than the swimming pools and beach.

Although Jashita Hotel offers few children's amenities, a kids swimming pool is available on-site. And at the beach, older children have access to loaner water sports equipment like snorkeling gear, kayaks and paddleboards.

A small retreat on the coast of the Riviera Maya, the environmentally friendly Ahau Tulum offers just 23 rooms, including suites with vaulted palapa ceilings, Balinese-inspired huts and a four-person beach cabana. Standard rooms have full beds and shared gardens with outdoor showers, while upgraded suites boast locally made furnishings, two-person hammocks, king-sized canopy beds and private decks with garden or ocean views. The hotel also offers an array of activities and amenities. Guests can take part in private yoga sessions; try kitesurfing or paddleboarding; or sign up for scuba diving excursions. A beach with lounge chairs and umbrellas is available as well. What's more, several top attractions – such as Tulum, Mexico's famous Mayan ruins and El Gran Cenote – sit less than 7 miles away. After working up an appetite, travelers can visit the on-site restaurant, where Mexican-Caribbean fusion cuisine is on the menu. Though some said the food was overpriced, recent visitors overall praised the hotel's service, design and location.
