Family vacations are the best, but they can get pricey fast, especially with kids in tow. This is when you can use those hard-earned points and miles to book incredible stays at some of Mexico’s top all-inclusive resorts, making that dream trip way more affordable. Plus, Mexico is super accessible from most parts of the U.S., which makes it even easier for families to get away. Mexican resorts that are bookable with points and miles are popular with many of our readers.
Mexico is one of my favorite places to use travel rewards because so many major hotel brands have beachfront properties here. Whether you’re planning a trip to Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, or Los Cabos, there’s a Mexican family resort that will fit your family’s vibe and your points budget.
