1.ย Sandos Playacar

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.

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