Paradisus Playa del Carmen is a short 45-minute drive from Cancun International Airport and close to archeological treasures, like Tulum, Chichén Itzá and Cobá, the all inclusive resort offers so much for your family but also has offsite adventures for the whole family. Located in the beautiful bay of Playa Del Carmen, the beach was clean and amazing. The whole resort was clean and luxurious. From the time you woke up to the time you went to bed, the resort staff offered endless activities and entertainment. My kids loved to spend most of the day splashing around in the water park, or feeling old by ordering endless Shirley Temples at the swim-up bar. Mama enjoyed well-deserved peace and quiet at the YHI Spa with a massage and hydro-therapy treatment.
Family Concierge Bonus! This is why I recommend this to my clients.
The family-friendly side offered us a selection of private areas reserved for just the guests that are staying in the Family Concierge suites. We were able to relax and enjoy while our three kids enjoyed non-stop entertainment at the new water park. They sure made a lot of new friends.
Some other perks for Family Concierge:
- Access to the Family Concierge's private heated pool for your whole family with a swim-up bar and Bali beds.
- Private beach area with beach concierge service. This was really nice!
- The resort offers an all-day kids zone (child care and activities). We would take the kids to an earlier dinner and then we would drop off the kids and go enjoy a few hours to ourselves at no additional cost.
- Our Butler was amazing! Amazing attention to detail and really was excellent with our kids.
The resort offers 12 different room types. We were blessed with the two bedroom suite so that there was a little separation of the kids and parents in the evening time.
Need to know
I can't say enough about this resort. We have never been able to find anything wrong with the resort. This truly is the best all-inclusive family resort at a 5-star service on a budget. This resort needs to be on your list! Of note, there is an adults-only side to the resort.
