Club Med Cancun

We had a wonderful time at Club Med in January 2023, having had what sounds like similar travel habits to yours. We had booked a transfer from the airport which was a very straightforward taxi ride, about 25 minutes or so. We didn't take advantage of the Mini/Kids Club, but our 2.5 y/o loved it regardless. The food was good (there's a steak house, a Mexican restaurant and a "general" restaurant which, at least during our stay, did not serve French food at all) and everything was super kid friendly. There are many activities for children and families even outside of the dedicated clubs, and a pool that was almost exclusively frequented by families. We were very pleasantly surprised by the whole experience!

Avoid Club Med Cancun! We were in a similar situation, looking for an easily accessible all-inclusive vacation and the Club Med in Cancun looked great but the transition from the airport to the resort was bizarrely drawn-out and complicated, mosquitos were pretty bad at the lagoon, 2 of us had food poisoning  — it may have been due to short staffing b/c of Covid (this was 11/21) but I would recommend finding someplace else….

Hello! We did Club Med Cancun in 2014 when my son was 3. We went through Pleasant Holidays on a package and we were able to get a good deal back then. 
They have a lot of things for kids - a kids club daycare with activities etc. , nice rooms and a beautiful beach. A kid pool and a bigger pool with a deep end. 
Be aware they serve French food since Club Med is French - a bit of a bummer for us going to Mexico - but overall food was good. 
We were able to get a taxi and go to Tulum ruins, Playa del Carmen and a cenote. 
In the end, all inclusives weren’t our thing so we didn’t do it again, but - without other examples to compare -  Club Med was a good one! 

Club Med Cancun is paradise. I've been to two Club Meds (Cancun and Punta Cana) and they were both paradise. They have lots of activities for kids and adults, and most kids seem to enjoy the kid's clubs. The food is great. We went for the first time when my kids were 4 and 9 and it was truly the most relaxing, perfect vacation. That said, if you're trying to reserve in February (particularly if it's President's week) it might cost about a million dollars.
