I covered resorts with the best all-inclusive wedding packages for the Riviera Maya and offer family-friendly with adults-only areas too.

Here we go!

1.  Sandos Playacar

Kid-Friendly & Adults-Only | Playa del Carmen | ★★★★ | All-Inclusive

If you’re looking for a fabulously family-orientated resort then put Sandos Playacar on your list!

I love their amenities, wide range of activities, sports, and options for kids and adults of all ages.

When you look at the cost of destinations weddings, they are one of the cheapest all-inclusive resorts around and the bang for your buck is incredible.

This also applies to their wedding packages!

You’ll be thrilled to know that it’s located on one of the best beaches in Playa del Carmen, aka Playacar beach.

I’m a fan of Playacar because it is a gated community, adjacent to town. It has a stunning stretch of beachfront as well as varied activities, entertainment, and sports for the whole family.

And of course, the room categories are great for weddings with some accepting families with 3+ kids. They also offer the Select Club Adults-Only area for those guests wanting a kid-free zone.
