As far as resorts for families go, Sensira, an all-inclusive luxury resort on the Riviera Maya, sure knows how to make a kid feel special. The Baby Explorer Club, designed for ages 18 months through three years, has indoor slides, bounce houses, and a ball pit. For families with older kids in tow, there’s a movie theater, miniature golf, zip line, water park, basketball court, tennis court, climbing wall, gaming stations, indoor trampoline park, and two swimming pools (there’s a third pool designated for adults only).
The hotel can prepare fresh purées on request for infants and toddlers and supplies all the equipment parents need for a hassle-free stay, including bottle warmers and sterilizers, full-size cribs, and car seats. Babysitting services are available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and parents are given a beeper to stay in touch. (If an infant is still breastfeeding, the nanny will fetch a parent for mealtime.) Even the spa takes family wellbeing into consideration, offering a full slate of all-ages wellness programming, including gentle therapies for children and teens that mirror adult rituals, and purpose-built family treatment cabins.
