Ready to relax while your baby thrives?
Traveling with a baby or toddler doesn’t have to mean giving up relaxation, gourmet meals, or even a little “me time.” The secret? Choosing the right resort.
At Guide Me Away, our travel experts actually visit resorts with their own babies and toddlers to see which ones deliver on comfort, care, and peace of mind. We also lean on deep industry connections to ensure our clients find the best luxury all-inclusive options that truly support families.
For parents of little ones under 3, not every kids’ club is an option. Nothing is worse than reading about a kids’ club online, and finding out your child is too young to join on arrival. Guide Me Away takes the guesswork out by matching you with the perfect all-inclusive resort with a baby club designed for under-3s that aligns with your adult preferences too. That means you can sip a cocktail, enjoy the spa, or sneak away for a beach walk, knowing your baby is safe, cared for, and even having fun.
Here are our top 5 choices for families who want safe, fun kids clubs for the youngsters without compromising your adult fun.
1. Club Med Resorts (Worldwide)
Think of Club Med as the original innovator in family-friendly luxury travel. They offer two programs: Baby Club Med (4–23 months) and Petit Club Med (ages 2–3). Programs are filled with age-appropriate activities like music, sensory play, and simple crafts. Parents also love the “Baby Welcome” service, where your room comes pre-equipped with essentials like cribs, strollers, and bottle warmers—no overpacking required.
Why it stands out: All caregivers at Club Med go through specialized training in early childhood development and first aid, ensuring babies and toddlers are not only entertained but kept safe at all times.
2. Grand Palladium Resorts (Mexico & Caribbean)
For those with toddlers who already had a first birthday, Gran Palladium Resorts are a great choice. From Jamaica to Mexico’s Riviera Maya, Grand Palladium resorts feature dedicated baby clubs for ages 1–3. The spaces are bright, cheerful, and staffed with loving caregivers who know how to keep toddlers engaged—whether through supervised play, arts and crafts, or storytime. Many locations even have nap areas with toddler beds and cribs so routines aren’t disrupted.
Why it stands out: With baby clubs at multiple destinations, Grand Palladium is a versatile choice for families who want flexibility in location without sacrificing care.
3. Beaches Resorts ( Turks & Caicos)
Beaches is famous for being family-centric, and their Infant Program (0–2 years) is one of the best in the Caribbean. They add a little extra magic – Sesame Street characters make special appearances throughout the resort, creating joyful moments for toddlers and older siblings alike. From dance parties to bedtime tuck-ins with Elmo, the partnership brings playful familiarity to your child’s experience.
Why it stands out: The peace of mind is unmatched. Beaches’ caregivers are trained in early childhood development and CPR/first aid. Safety —plus a sprinkle of Sesame Street magic.
4. Sensira Resort & Spa (Riviera Maya, Mexico)
This Riviera Maya gem offers the Baby Explorer Club (ages 1–3), which is essentially a toddler wonderland. Picture indoor slides, face painting, ball pits, and even a bounce house—all in a safe, supervised environment. Parents are given beepers for updates, and 1-1 babysitting services are available from morning to evening. They even have baby food preparation areas and bottle warmers on hand.
Why it stands out: Sensira balances fun for toddlers with peace of mind for parents—combining safety, communication, and convenience seamlessly.
5. Paradisus (Playa del Carmen, Mexico)
Paradisus Playa del Carmen is a modern, stylish all-inclusive that doesn’t just welcome families—it celebrates them. Their Baby Club (ages 1–4) is a safe, colorful space where little ones are cared for by trained professionals while parents enjoy the spa, gourmet dining, or quiet time on the beach. Activities are designed to support early development through play, music, and gentle interaction.
