Mexico holidays for all
Mexico is the ideal place to book couples and family package holidays. The friendliness and hospitality of the Mexican people is legendary, and the food doesn’t have to be spicy. Whether you want the vibrancy and nightlife of Cancun, the ancient temples and pyramids of the Riviera Maya, or the family-friendly beaches and theme parks of Puerto Vallata, we at The Co-operative Travel have cheap holidays that will take you there.
When to book all inclusive holidays in Mexico
The beaches of Mexico offer clean, safe bathing, with secluded sheltered palm-fringed bays, which are perfect for younger families. It’s best to avoid the hot, humid months of July and August if you’re travelling with toddlers. Most people book package holidays between December and April, although early November is also a popular time to travel when you can see the Day of the Dead celebrations.
Mexico becomes a magical place at Easter. In Cancun there are parades in the streets, while Iztapalapa, in Mexico City, has spectacular Holy Week celebrations. Really, there are festivals throughout the year.
Where to stay
Most people stay in resorts along the Riviera Maya, where they have the benefit of spectacular beaches and watersports, trips to wildlife reserves and ancient Mayan jungle ruins like Chichen Itza and Calakmot.
Puerto Vallarta, on the Pacific coast, will suit all ages. Beaches here range from long broad stretches of powdery sand, to rocky coves with caverns and rock-pools. The crystal clear waters hold an amazing array of marine life. Activities include diving, snorkelling, whale watching and swimming with dolphins. There are also 5 international golf courses.
Away from the beach, the Splash Waterpark provides fun for all ages, with 19 waterslides as well as dolphins, sea lions and tropical birds. A jungle safari gives you the chance to see pumas and jaguars in their natural environment.
