We need a vacation! It’s a sentiment any parent can relate to — and you can count me among them. As beach lovers and travel enthusiasts, my husband and I are always dreaming our way to the next oceanfront adventure, put on hold only momentarily with the birth of our daughter. Now at 14 months old she’s curious about EVERYTHING, and I suspect she too has been wishing to get out of Texas and get a little sand between her tiny toes for a change. What better place to start filling her first passport than with a Los Cabos family vacation? Might as well begin her memories of the “best family vacation ever” at an early age!
How’s this for a warm Los Cabos welcome?
When looking for the perfect blend of tropical bliss and kid-friendly fun, we decided on an international escape to the all-inclusive Royal Solaris Los Cabos, a Mexican hacienda-style resort that doesn’t just welcome families … it caters to them! Here’s why you and your kiddos need to pack up and head to this family-centric paradise ASAP:
Entertainment for All Ages
Lots of all-inclusive resorts claim to be family friendly, but the hospitable team at Royal Solaris Los Cabos goes above and beyond to ensure your children are included in every experience. Rather than “allowing” kids to enjoy resort-style activities, I love how this resort infuses family activities into everything — and it’s not just for the age 4 and up crew. Surprise and delights abound, from acrobatic entertainers to themed nights including live music, dance and even fire theatrics to bring out the wide-eyed kid in anyone.
The most picturesque activity center you could ever imagine!
Another family favorite offered by the resort is the most scenic activity center playground you’ve ever seen. It’s literally surrounded by gorgeous palm trees! And the resort’s new attraction can’t be missed: the Wall Climber Pancho scale adventure brings rock climbing right to the beach. Kick back and enjoy the view as your kids burn off some of that energy, why don’t you?
Fun in the Sun (or Shade!)
When you’re heading to Los Cabos, of course your children want to spend some time outdoors. But your baby’s tender skin also must be kept in mind. Royal Solaris Los Cabos has brilliantly combined the best of both worlds, covering part of their main and children’s pools to be enjoyed anytime during the day without being exposed to direct sunlight. No longer will you have to chase the kids around begging them to let you reapply their sunscreen! In addition to unlimited fun for kids ages 4-11 in a Noah’s Ark-themed mini water park, now children under age 4 can also take part in the enjoyment of splash time at the recently added baby park. This is genius, little ones love water — and why should the big kids get to have all the fun anyway?
Royal Solaris Los Cabos offers outdoor fun for even the tiniest tots to enjoy!
Don’t worry parents, there’s plenty of poolside fun or relaxation for you, too. Allow the hotel’s professional staff to look after your children while you step away for a break by the adult pool for a siesta, a cocktail or even a little water volleyball. Caring on-site babysitters are also available for children under age 4, so you can enjoy a quiet dinner for two or a romantic stroll by the beach with complete peace of mind … you deserve it! Tweens and teens will also find entertainment at their speed at the Junior’s Club, featuring video and board games tailored to ages 12-18.
Plan a “date night” while Royal Solaris Los Cabos’ attentive team entertains the kids!
Appease Any Appetite
You might drum up the world’s most Pinterest-worthy meals at home, but trust me, nothing will compare to lunch spent on the Marco Polo terrace. The alfresco dining experience features an international buffet, an informal dress code and stunning resort views. Even picky eaters will find something they love here! Remember, this is an all-inclusive escape, meaning ALL meals are included.
Enjoy a fuss-free, delicious meal on the Marco Polo terrace.
Go ahead and indulge in all of Royal Solaris Los Cabos‘ dining options, from Brazilian-style meats to Italian entrees to the traditional flavors of Mexico. Five restaurants offer oceanfront dining, making every meal a feast for both your tummy and your eyes. Thirsty? Four bars, including a sports bar and Palapa swim-up bar are waiting to quench it.
Play Beachside
With all Royal Solaris Los Cabos has to offer, let’s not forget that you’re also just steps away from the blue waters of the ocean. One of my favorite features of the resort is the opportunity to take scuba diving lessons on-site from a talented, patient instructor. What a great way to introduce kids to scuba diving in a pressure-free environment!
All this … steps from the ocean!
But there’s also beauty in the simple pleasures that come from staying oceanside. Listening to the waves roll in and out. Building epic sand castles. Dipping your toes into the water. Watching the sun slowly sink into the horizon. Chasing crabs as they scurry about upon dusk. These are the moments you and your kids will remember 20 years from now. Are you ready to share them with your family at Royal Solaris Los Cabos?
