1. Mexico All-inclusive Resorts
All-inclusive resorts in Mexico are a favorite family getaway; some offer a good price point, while others -- especially in the Riviera Maya -- trend upscale to ever-more luxury. Cancun, the Riviera Maya, and Los Cabos are three popular areas.
2. Riviera Maya - Highlights & Resorts
the 130 km from Cancun south to Tulum offers popular resorts plus fun and fascinating activities. Highlights, down the coast from Puerto Morelos to Tulum, 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.
