Mexico vacations offer a great chance to combine resort amenities, beautiful beaches and seas, plus cultural interest such as Mayan history.

Many families choose to stay in all-inclusive resorts, with the convenience of all-included meals, drinks, snacks, kids programs, watersports and other activities.

Check out Mexico All-inclusive Resorts in Cancun, Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, and more popular areas. The Mayan Riviera in particular offers a great combination of all-inclusives plus much to explore outside the resorts. Highlights include Mayan ruins, second-largest barrier coral reef in the world, "eco-archeological" theme park Xcaret, lagoons full of colorful fish, and "cenotes" (natural pools of clear water-- lovely to swim in). If you're looking for busy shopping areas, you'll find that too. (See Mayan Riviera Highlights. See more about Mexico Vacations for families.
