Azul Fives by Karisma Playa Del Carmen

For some families the allure and activity of 5th avenue is what Playa Del Carmen is all about and those families may like to check out the array of quality resorts and hotels available at the beach in Playa Del Carmen. But for others looking to live it up in one of the best family friendly all inclusive family resorts available practically anywhere head to this jewel.

This is a good sized resort (480 rooms) with many other options than I have mentioned but definitely one for families to enjoy and make unforgettable times.  Even though this is an all inclusive resort (mega inclusive) the family suites also come with kitchenettes and multiple rooms.

Azul fives

The Azul properties in this part of Mexico feature especially predominately in our top Mexico Family resorts. These resorts really do target families and they do it exceptionally well with the most outstanding kids facilities and activities you are likely to find anywhere in the world.

Apart from the kids all inclusive gourmet meals there is an exhilarating Teens Club. The Extreme Breeze Teens to Extreme Breeze Teens Club is a space for to  17 years hang out watch movies, play table football or air hockey and generally do what teenagers do. Thankfully there are also active pursuits organized by the staff. 

Azulitos Playhouse  is for the pre-teen kids and involve quality experiences like using the My Gym equipment, and activities  fun activities. There is also a supervised component and interactive sessions much like some of the playgroups you may attend at home like  story time, crafts, waterpark, singing, story time, and heaps of others planned. 

If you are thinking of what you don't have to bring keep in mind the resort can provide Cribs, Strollers baby equipment for feeding and bathing, change tables, monitors and natural prepared baby food on request (otherwise they provide the Gerber brand). 

Azul Fives by Karisma is our top choices for a Playa del Carmen beach hotel for those looking for a quality  inclusive vacation option. To start with they simply built the resort in the right place surrounded by jungle and pristine white beaches. Follow that up with quality family friendly facilities and service at every turn and you have yourself an exceptionally kid friendly property.

More than five pools with kid friendly areas, children's menus, in room dining, having baby food already prepared, or heading off to one of the nine restaurants keeps eating out fresh and accommodation.

(At the time of writing) they have multiple properties all with trendy furnishings and family sized and fitted out suites. Azul is big on providing everything you could possibly need for a family vacation and things like PlayHouses, teen clubs, strollers, cribs, changing tables are made easy.

Stacks of activities for teens like rock climbing  to multiple activities and clubs for the little ones keeps everyone entertained.  Having computers on site for guests to use is a good excuse for everyone to leave theirs at home. 

The philosophy goes something like when the kids are taken care of that will make it easy for mom and dad to enjoy some romance and make the most of the Jacuzzi swim-up suites and other deluxe features and services around the resort.
