Cancun
The gateway to the Caribbean coast — a purpose-built resort strip of calm turquoise beaches, big family hotels and easy day trips.
3.3
Los Cabos
Where desert meets the sea at Baja's tip — dramatic rock arches, whale watching and polished resorts on the Pacific side.
3.3
Playa del Carmen
A walkable beach town with Caribbean sand and a lively pedestrian street — more local buzz than Cancun, still calm and family-easy.
3.3
Puerto Vallarta
A charming Pacific-coast town of cobbled streets and calm bay beaches — warm, walkable and family-friendly with a genuine Mexican character.

Tropical on the coasts: a dry, warm high season (Nov-Apr) ideal for families and a hotter, wetter, hurricane-prone summer (Jun-Nov). The Riviera Maya's calm Caribbean water is the family draw; the Pacific coast is warmer and livelier.
