These Resorts Are Bringing Back Family Time

Time with family has always been precious, and it seems harder to come by these days. Both schedules and budgets are tighter, making for a challenging outlook for those traveling with children.

To alleviate both stressors, Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection has launched a new limited-time offer—one that invites kids to stay and eat free at select family resorts through September 30. Pair this with affordable Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights with ALG Vacations® and families can easily make a last-minute pivot to plan the special fall getaway they’ve been putting off. To make the memories they thought were out of reach.

For example, they can turn the family vacation into an educational cultural immersion by planning to visit Mexico during the Dia de los Muertos festivities November 1 – 2. During this time, altars, live music, candlelit processions, and traditional foods turn an event of remembrance for those who have passed into moments to remember.

Cancun does it in style, with celebrations around Parque de las Palapas, nearby villages, and at regional attractions such as Xcaret eco-park.

Later that month, the Riviera Maya Jazz Festival draws musicians and music-lovers alike to nearby Playa del Carmen for an experience that layers the smooth sounds of this genre with ocean waves and whispering breezes against a backdrop of starry skies.

Of course, families choosing to stay at Dreams® Resorts & Spas or Sunscape® Resorts & Spas don’t need special dates nor go off-site to find all-ages activities or special events. Yes, there are always jungle hikes, sunset cruises, and excursions to historic sites are fun options for adventures in Cancun and the Riviera Maya. But at these resorts, the Explorer’s Club for kids and Core Zone for teens programs are robust, and feature a wide selection of supervised things to do and well-geared amenities for different age groups in their own exclusive spaces. Evening entertainment is vetted for all ages and scheduled at times that make sense.

Plus, many Inclusive Collection resorts have special features right on site. For example, Dreams® Natura Resort & Spa features a Rollglider aerial ride that whips guests around the many multi-level spiral water slides on an exciting track that provides exceptional water views. Dreams® Jade Resort & Spa has exceptional pickleball, tennis, and mini-golf facilities everyone can bond over. And Dreams® Aventuras Riviera Maya, while being located right in the heart of Cancun’s iconic Hotel Zone, is tucked into a family-friendly, yacht-studded marina village, where a morning walk can lead to unforgettable moments watching dolphin eat and play in their protected habitat.

Other activities families can enjoy together are, of course, of the aquatic variety, as all Inclusive Collection resorts are set on some of the region’s most beautiful beaches. There’s kayaking, swimming, and more right off the coastline, and snorkeling, too. You won’t want to miss that at Dreams® Cozumel Cape Resort & Spa, which is right off the reef and, fresh off a renovation, features a new Preferred Club experience with refreshed common areas, coastal-inspired restaurant, new suites with swim-out, beachfront, or ocean views, an exclusive lounge, and pool with a swim-up bar just steps from the sea.

Similarly, Get Paid to Upgrade the family to luxury accommodations like the new Club & Villas section at Dreams® Sapphire Resort & Spa, where 70 new beachfront suites and 10 two-bedroom, two-story villas provide privacy and connection in a home away from home.

If parents want to carve out a little couple time, that’s easily done, too. At Dreams® Natura Resort & Spa, an incredible cenote-inspired spa offers relaxation in a setting unlike any other. There are plenty of pools with swim-up bars with which to grab a drink, and world-class dining creates date night opportunities. And exchange privileges with the Sip, Savor & See program (plus available babysitting services at additional cost) lets the grown-ups do a quick vibe shift into an adults-only environment. For example, they can discover the beauty of Playa and Costa Mujeres, where elegant infinity pools, an atmosphere of sophistication and serenity, and details designed to inspire connection bring couples together.
