This post kicks off a two-part series on resorts with family suites. A family suite means the resort has rooms that are guaranteed connecting or a two-bedroom suite with a central living area. The second post will have the resorts in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

All-inclusive Resorts in Cancun with Family Suites
It’s a great perk for families to be able to guarantee connecting rooms or have a suite when traveling with children. In the last few years, resorts have gotten on board with adding these room types to their hotels. These resorts also have lots of amenities for families, including water parks, mini-golf, teen clubs, kids clubs, and much more. You can find the post on resorts with water parks here. Family suites are a great way for families with multiple children or extended families to share a room.
Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites
The Iberostar hotel complex features five resorts, including one exclusively for adults. Guests can enjoy a wide variety of pools, restaurants, bars, and activities, ensuring entertainment for all ages. A water park, lazy river, and wave pool are also included, adding extra fun for families.
For those seeking spacious accommodations, the Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya offers a two-bedroom Family Junior Suite that sleeps up to six guests. Spanning over 1,200 square feet, this suite is guaranteed to include a connected layout with a king bed, two double beds, and two full bathrooms—perfect for families needing extra space and comfort.
A standout feature of the Iberostar Maya is its no-reservation policy for dinner, allowing guests to enjoy flexible dining options. As a moderately priced resort, the Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya provides excellent value, making it a fantastic choice for families looking for a fun and stress-free vacation!

Riu Dunamar
Riu Dunamar is about 45 minutes North of Cancun, the beaches in this area tend to be very nice with little seaweed. The Riu is a lower-priced moderate resort. The two-bedroom family suites here have a king and two double beds. The bathrooms at Riu are open-concept, meaning the shower and sink area are open to the room. The family rooms are connected or share a common entry area with two separate rooms. The Riu Dunamar has an included water park, four restaurants open for dinner, and snacks available 24 hours a day.
