Family travel offers a unique opportunity for bonding and needs to offer options for all ages. Fortunately, Mexico is an ideal destination for family travel that can include wildlife, adventure, active travel, cultural interaction, and relaxation for all. We are happy to share tips and advice for different types of vacations to ensure relatively stress-free family travel in Mexico.
PREPAREDNESS AND SAFETY - In terms of safety, Mexico is still a safe destination for the savvy traveler despite common misconceptions!

As with any travel, you should always exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings, even more so in a group with children. But, first, make sure that your house is in order before you leave. Often, the excitement makes home owners forget about locking or checking the integrity of possible points of entry such as windows, chimneys or garage doors. Call this company that offers 24/7 Rancho Mirage garage door repair services or a related service near you for a complete assessment before you go.

If anyone does fall victim of Montezcumas Revenge, it is recommended to supplement their treatment with a flavored bottle water called “Electrolit” – you can get it at any pharmacy (or similiar) store. It is intended to restore electrolytes for children 6 and older and can help ease the toll of the sickness....Read more, here.
MEXICO FAMILY BEACH VACATIONS - Mexico’s resorts are the most popular with families, specifically all-inclusives that offer a “worry-free” stay with kids’ programs, daycare, and entertainment to keep everyone happy. However keep in mind that some hotels are certainly more family-friendly than others and that the wording “Kids Club” can mean a lot of different things (and ages!).
Do not assume at all beaches in Mexico are swimmable or suitable for children; there are areas along Mexico’s coastline with rough waves either regularly or as a result of current weather conditions....Read more, here.
