Multi-generational travel is a big trend for Canadians. But it can be hard to decide where to go so that everyone—from grandparents to the little ones—is catered to.

The answer might be as easy as Cancun. A perennial favourite for Canadians, it’s also a great destination for family travel, thanks to all-inclusive resorts like Hyatt Ziva Cancun that are geared toward adults and kids alike. Here’s why this might be the right spot for your next trip.

A choice of family-friendly or adults-only accommodations

With more than 500 contemporary ocean-view suites, Hyatt Ziva Cancun offers a variety of accommodations to suit everyone. The two-bedroom suites are spacious enough for a family and come with high-tech entertainment options, complimentary refreshments and a furnished balcony where you can enjoy them.

Grandparents or parents can stay in the exclusive adults-only Turquoize tower, which offers free transfers, direct spa access and even butler service.

A range of fun activities and nightly events

To make a multi-generational vacation worthwhile, you have to make sure you're taking time to do something everyone enjoys. At Hyatt Ziva Cancun, families can play with a giant chess set on the pool deck, take up beach volleyball, try a dance class or make a craft to take home. Non-motorized water sports, from kayaking to paddle boarding, are also included in your stay.

Each night also brings a new experience, with family-friendly shows staged (and snacks provided) at the resort’s amphitheatre. Indulge in a variety of treats, like freshly made churros and spicy hot chocolate, while watching professional musicians, dancers and acrobats.

Games, excursions and more just for kids

Younger guests will love the KidZ Club, for ages four to 12. Here, kids can make new friends, play supervised games like volleyball or splash around in the water park. The club also offers crafts, video games and excursions to the beach. If a day of fun isn’t enough to burn off all that energy, the hotel pools are a great place for kids to play under the supervision of lifeguards while you relax at the swim-up bar or in a lounger with a good book.

Dining options with something for everyone

What makes travelling so enjoyable is the opportunity to sample new foods. The seventeen restaurants, lounges and bars included in your stay give families the choice to meet up for authentic Mexican tacos or a teppanyaki performance—or let the adults escape for a romantic evening of French cuisine in La Bastille brasserie.

Adult-friendly spots for a night without the kids

While travelling with the whole family can be fun, it’s great to carve out some time alone. Stop in at Tres Cervezas, the first on-site microbrewery at an all-inclusive resort, for a made-on-property lager or IPA, or hit the dance floor to the beat of live music at Sky Lounge at Punta Vista Roof Top Bar.

If you’re looking for a day (or a few hours) of bliss, book a treatment at Zen Spa, attached to the adults-only Turquoize tower. De-stress with a massage in your own private oceanfront cabana or follow a hydrotherapy circuit with a massage waterfall and sea views.
