The Best All-Inclusive Resorts for Toddlers

·One of the strongest all-inclusive dining models in Europe.

Ikos Odisia sits on a serviced bay at Dassia on Corfu, and its headline number is ten heated pools plus separate splash parks for children. Eight restaurants and six bars sit behind that, and the childcare runs from six months old through to seventeen, which is a wider band than almost anything else in our Greek catalog. The beach is calm and Ionian rather than dramatic; the resort is what people come for.

·True all-inclusive

·Excellent family waterpark and lazy river setup.

·True all-inclusive

Finest Playa Mujeres is a luxury family all-inclusive north of Cancun, for parents of small children who still want a polished resort. Adults-only club areas are layered in for couples. It is about 35 minutes from the airport, on the Playa Mujeres beach, with 450 rooms, twelve restaurants that take no reservations, sixteen bars, twelve pools and a water park. The kids' club takes potty-trained children from three, which is younger than most, and that single fact explains who books here.

·Modern all-suite layout with very large room categories.

·Outstanding family programming and kids clubs.

Club Med's long-running Punta Cana village is the value play, a four-star all-inclusive that leans into the brand's signature trapeze and circus school plus a CREACTIVE playground for kids, with a Zen Oasis zone when the adults need quiet. Great for multi-gen groups watching the budget. Best December through August.

Heritage Le Telfair is an all-suite resort at Bel Ombre, on the quieter south coast of Mauritius. Two golf courses sit behind it, and a spa of six treatment rooms. The 158 suites start at 62 square metres and reach 104 on the beachfront, which is generous by any standard, and the family provision is deeper than most luxury resorts manage: a baby club from birth to three at no charge, a kids club to eleven, and a teen programme. There is an adults-only wing with its own pool, heated through the Mauritian winter.

·Iconic Jamaican luxury resort.

Round Hill is a gated estate west of Montego Bay holding 36 hotel rooms, five suites and 27 privately owned villas. It has been Jamaica's quiet-luxury address for decades. The beach is protected and calm, there is an infinity pool with villa pools scattered above it, and the atmosphere is deliberately hushed: the recurring note from guests is the service, and the recurring warning is that nobody comes here for nightlife.

·Excellent Cancun beach

·Excellent kids and teen programming

Serenusa is a big Italian family resort on Sicily's south coast, for parents who want four age-banded children's clubs and a sandy seabed. It is about 105 minutes from Catania, with 490 rooms, three pools including one with waterslides, and a private fine-sand beach about 300 metres below the rooms. The clubs run from three-year-olds to seventeen-year-olds in four bands, with a baby kitchen, and that machinery rather than the food is the reason to book.

·Official all-inclusive plan with multiple restaurants and bars.

Grand Palladium Sicilia is a 469-room resort on the north coast of Sicily, at Campofelice di Roccella. It is built for families more deliberately than anything else in our Italian catalog. The clubs run from age one: a Baby Club for one to three, a Mini Club for four to eleven and a Junior Club for twelve to sixteen. Four pools sit behind that, including a family pool, a beach pool and a children's version of it, with indoor and heated water for the shoulder months.

·Major Beach Club waterpark

·Excellent protected lagoon beach.

·LUX Grand Gaube is a design-led resort on Mauritius's north coast, for travellers who want two private coves and restaurants worth dressing for. It is about 75 minutes from the airport, with six restaurants, seven bars, two pools and two beaches of its own, plus the Banyan grown-ups area, which keeps a pool and cove to itself. All-inclusive is a package bought on top of the rate here, and its exclusions are the thing to read.

·Strong family amenities with kids and teen spaces.

·Large beachfront Mauritius resort with strong review volume.

·Very strong review volume and service sentiment.

SUNRISE Arabian Beach Resort is a family all-inclusive in Sharm El Sheikh, for families who want a reef, eight restaurants and a nine-minute transfer. That drive from the airport is the shortest on this site. It is a five-star with a private beach, heated pools including an adults-only Relax Pool and a children's pool with a slide, and a dining list of one buffet and seven a la carte restaurants running from Indian to Greek. Sea entry is reef rather than sand, which is the fact to settle first.

·True all-inclusive product

The Mora is a large all-inclusive on Muyuni Beach in the north of Zanzibar, for couples and families who want the plan to carry the week. It is about 45 minutes from the airport, with 250 suites, four restaurants, four pools and a kids' club, on a calm stretch facing Mnemba Island. It is new, it is polished, and it is nowhere near a town, which is why the plan does more work here than at most resorts.

·New rooms

A family-friendly Dreams resort on the Dominican coast with a clever perk: guests 18 and over get free run of the neighboring adults-only Secrets Playa Esmeralda, so couples and parents get grown-up dining and bars next door. Best of both worlds on one beach. Bávaro sun runs essentially year-round.

·Excellent Simius/Tanka beach setting.

·True all-inclusive beachfront resort.

Grand Palladium Colonial is a family all-inclusive inside the Palladium complex on the Riviera Maya, for families who want a big tropical estate. There are clubs for every age. It is about 60 minutes from Cancun's airport, with 252 rooms of its own, six pools, a water park and a private beach, and the run of selected sister-resort facilities on the same shore. It sells scale, and the scale is real: the walk to dinner can be a shuttle ride.

·Excellent service reputation and very high repeat-guest loyalty.

·Official all-inclusive Unlimited-Luxury package with top-shelf spirits, room service, minibar, Wi-Fi, and gratuities included.

Robinson Quinta da Ria is a sports and golf club resort in the eastern Algarve, for active families who will trade a beachfront for a golf course. It is about 40 minutes from Faro, with 270 rooms, two restaurants, three pools counting a heated indoor one, golf beside it and the Ria Formosa nature reserve around it. The beach is reached seasonally by train and boat rather than on foot, and the sport is the reason to come.

·Beachfront Bel Ombre setting

·Direct beach setting in Rhodes with resort-style pools.

·Post-reno Select positioning on Bávaro Beach

Grand Palladium Select Bavaro is a large family all-inclusive on Bavaro Beach, for families who want the run of a whole Palladium complex. It is about 40 minutes from Punta Cana's airport, with 506 renovated rooms, five pools, fifteen restaurants of its own, and more than thirty restaurants and bars across the complex its guests may eat in. The children's clubs start at age one, and the resort relaunched recently, so older Grand Palladium Bavaro reviews describe a different hotel.

·Large beachfront complex with multiple dining venues and bars.

Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton is one half of a huge shared complex on the coves of Hanover Parish, for families who want many pools, bars and beaches. All of it sits inside one gated estate. It shares its facilities with Grand Palladium Jamaica next door, so the practical footprint is ten restaurants, thirteen bars, five pools, a water park with a lazy river and a string of private coves. Nobody stays on one side of the complex for long, and the coves are for snorkelling rather than long walks.

·Official room information is transparent.

VOI Marsa Sicla Essentia is a quiet family resort in southeast Sicily, for parents who want a sandy beach and will be driven to it. It is about 85 minutes from Comiso, a four-star with 150 rooms in green grounds, one pool with a children's pool beside it, two restaurants and a Kids Club for ages three to eight. The private sandy beach at Sampieri is 1.4 kilometres away along the resort's own route, so this is not a beachfront hotel.

·All-inclusive dining, with reservations required for Himitsu hibachi/teppanyaki tables.

·Prime Diani Beach location.

·True all-inclusive family resort near Cancun airport.

Paradisus Palma Real is a large all-inclusive on Bavaro Beach, for couples and families who will pay for the upgraded tier. A golf course, a casino and eleven pools sit on the doorstep. It is about 20 minutes from Punta Cana's airport, with 596 rooms, eight restaurants and two swim-up bars, and The Reserve, an adults-only section with its own pools and concierge. The resort is two experiences under one name, and the tier decides which one you get.

·Real snorkeling beach

·Very close to MBJ airport.
