Planning a family trip can be tricky when you’re trying to satisfy everyone's varied ages and interests. As Spring Break approaches, we’re here to make it easier for parents juggling multiple vacation wish lists. Enter kids' clubs—your secret weapon for a hassle-free family getaway. 

 

Picture this: You get time to work in that relaxation you’ve been promising yourself with a massage or some adults-only quiet pool time, and the kids get all the fast-paced entertainment and activities they’re always craving, supervision included.   

 

Sounds dreamy, right? Read on for our five favorite kids clubs that have activities and facilities sure to impress everyone in the group. 


Moon Palace The Grand Cancun – Cancun, Mexico

If you’re traveling with a larger family (or group) that spans a wide range of ages, The Grand at Moon Palace Cancun is where you’ll want to be. The resort itself is expansive, meaning it comes with a lot of perks. For younger family members, The Playroom features a large indoor jungle gym, bumper cars, mini-golf, game room, creativity spaces, mirror maze, and more. For teens, there’s the WIRED Lounge, a hangout spot just for them with an arcade and console video games, internet access, and teen-favorite snacks. If you’re looking for activities you can all do together, check out the Ninth Pin Bowling Alley (available for an extra fee).

Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya – Riviera Maya, Mexico

If you’re looking to feel like “kind of a big deal” on your vacation, then Hard Rock Hotels are for you. For little rock stars ages 4-12, the Hard Rock Roxity Kids Club™ offers games, activities, crafts, and, of course, music. They even have theme days with talent shows, snorkeling, and pool parties. For older rock stars ages 12 and up, The Music Lab gives them the chance to live out their guitar-shredding limelight dreams with jam band sessions, DJ mixing stations, and the opportunity to star in their very own music video.

Nickelodeon Hotel & Resort – Punta Cana, Dominican Republic or Riviera Maya, Mexico

While it might seem like an obvious choice, we couldn’t not put Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana on the list. A perfect blend of Nick-themed fun and the Gourmet Inclusive® Experience by Karisma, adults and kids can find everything they’re looking for. Its official kids club, Club Nick, is part clubhouse, part artist’s studio, part slime (yes, there are slime-making classes), and all supervised. But that’s just the beginning. Families can get in on the splash-pad action at the Aqua Nick waterpark, enjoy all the selfies you can handle at Character Central, or live every kid’s dream and get slimed at Nickelodeon Place. For something extra special, you can even schedule a breakfast with your favorite Nick characters for a charge. 


Note: One of our additional favorite features of this property is their Autism Concierge dedicated specifically to guests with autism in partnership with Autism Double-Checked.

Crown Paradise Club – Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Another great spot for families that are more budget conscious, and who have kids spanning a wide range of ages, is the Crown Paradise Club Puerto Vallarta. This resort has three separate programs for children from 18 months to 17 years, so they’ve got you covered. Baby Paradise is designed to stimulate the imagination of the youngest family members with games and activities led by a professional childcare staff. Kids Paradise is a waterpark of epic proportions, complete with pirate ship, castle, and nine different water slides. For the older kids, Teens Paradise provides a space for sports, table games, video games, and an occasional gladiator battle, too.

Melia Cozumel – Cozumel, Mexico

Families headed to Cozumel should be sure to check out the all-inclusive Melia Cozumel to maximize on fun for everyone. The list of activities for kids available at their “Kidsdom” is extensive – from batting cages, archery, Mayan-themed mini-golf, electric mini-cars, video games, and a plethora of beachside sports, everyone in the family can stay entertained without breaking the bank.
