What to expect: This waterfront resort sits at the northern end of Playa's main beach, making it a popular choice for both sun worshippers and those wishing to explore the area's natural and archeological attractions. Guests relax or gather to plan their day in the breezy, open-air lobby as caged tropical birds chatter and flit about. This resort, decorated in Mexican hacienda style with a dash of the Mediterranean, caters to families and groups.
Amenity highlights: A protected cove makes the resort's white-sand beach safe for swimming, or guests may lounge poolside at one of the two pools. The freeform ground-floor pool is home to daily activities and has a shallow children's area, while the third-floor quiet pool has a swim-up bar and a relaxing ambience.
Insider tip: The Xaman-Ha Aviary in nearby Playacar (3 miles) is a botanical garden with tropical-bird habitats, perfect for families looking to explore the local wildlife. The aviary is home to a variety of tropical birds, including flamingos, toucans, and parrots, some of whom freely roam the grounds.

 

Guests with children ages 4–12 can take advantage of the supervised child care and activities at the kids' club.
