Our picks with Swimming pool
in Riviera Maya
Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya
Everything is a suite, most of them big enough for a family of four without anyone on a pull-out, and the swim-up Pads open straight onto a shared lagoon pool. The showpiece is the Pineapple Suite, the two-storey SpongeBob house that sleeps up to six with its own splash pool and a slide indoors. Cots and bed rails come free, bottle warmers and sterilisers are on request, and orange Nickelodeon detailing runs through the lot.

Hotel Xcaret Mexico
Suites are arranged in five themed Casas, each pinned to a different mood rather than an age, and many have a swim-up terrace or a plunge pool cut into the rock. Family suites sleep four to five comfortably and the layouts lean on connecting doors rather than sofa beds. Cots are free, and the eco-architecture means real greenery, underground rivers and birdsong outside the door rather than a concrete resort feel.
in Riviera Maya
Moon Palace Cancun
Rooms are large and uniform across the Sunrise and Nizuc sections, most with a double whirlpool tub and a balcony, and connecting rooms are easy to secure for a family that wants two bathrooms. Superior Deluxe rooms take a family of four without a squeeze, and the Grand section adds the swankiest suites near the water park. Cots are free, and the resort credit system throws in spa and excursion money that families can spend on the kids' extras.
in Riviera Maya
Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun
Rooms are modern and roomy, and the family-focused categories are the ones to book: Luxury Family Junior Suites with a bunk nook for the children and a separate zone for parents. Royalton's DreamBed and rain-shower touches feel a notch above the price, connecting options are plentiful, and cots come free. Swim-out rooms open onto a shared pool, which younger children love and which saves the daily trek to the water park.
in Riviera Maya
Barcelo Maya Palace
Barcelo Maya Palace is the all-suite flagship of the complex, so every room is a proper junior suite with a sofa area and a large bathroom, and family rooms take four comfortably. Guests here can roam five interconnected family resorts along one long beach, which means dozens of restaurants and pools on a single wristband. Cots are free, and the calm, gently shelving beach at Xpu-Ha is one of the better swimming stretches on the coast.
in Riviera Maya
Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa
Rooms are generous junior suites spread through low-rise blocks in dense tropical garden, most with a balcony or terrace and a sofa bed, so a family of three or four fits without connecting. The Family Selection tier adds bigger rooms, a private lounge and extra kid amenities for a premium. Cots are free, the Baby Club lends out gear, and the gardens are so green and full of coati and birds that the walk to breakfast doubles as a nature walk.
in Riviera Maya
Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa
Rooms are set in low colonial-style blocks among mature palms, most with a balcony or terrace, and the family and Preferred Club categories give you more space and connecting options for four. It has a proper old-Riviera feel rather than a glass tower, and cots are free. The beach is a wide, soft crescent that is calmer than the wild Tulum surf further south, and the resort is close enough to combine the beach week with the Tulum ruins and the town's cenotes.
in Riviera Maya
Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa
Rooms are comfortable junior suites in low garden blocks, most with a balcony or terrace, and the family categories add extra space and sofa beds for four. It is the value pick of this list, so finishes are functional rather than plush, but the grounds are big and green with a long lazy river winding through. Cots are free, there is a natural cenote and a small Mayan ruin on site, and the beach sits on a protected cove near the famous Akumal turtle bay.
