Ritz-Carlton, Cancun
The famous Ritz-Carlton brand offers luxury and welcomes families. This resort has a kids' program; rooms have espresso machines and rainforest showerheads; a Culinary Center runs cooking classes. "The only AAA Triple Five Diamond oceanfront resort in the world (2008)", and (at time of writing) it gets the people's vote too, being ranked #2 in Cancun at TripAdvisor.com; and it too has been a top pick of upscale magazine Travel+Leisure Family.

Royal Resorts
Also drawing praise are the Royal Resorts in Cancun, which are primarily a vacation ownership enterprise, but anyone can book a getaway. The Royal Cancun has a children's pool and playground, and a range of children's and family activities which are complimentary or entail only a small charge. Guests can take free sailing lessons, and have (limited) use of sailboats, and use of tennis courts.
