How we rate

Who gets listed

All-inclusive resorts in Cancun that take children. 55 include meals and drinks as standard; 12 sell all-inclusive as an optional rate and are listed because that rate exists. Adults-only resorts are left out.

What the chips mean

Kids club, Water park, Kids pool, Teen club, Family rooms and Beachfront come from each resort’s own list of facilities. A resort gets the chip only when that facility is on its list, so a missing chip means we have not seen it, not that it is absent.

How the order works

We start from the Booking.com guest score out of 10 and its number of reviews. A score from few reviews is pulled down until enough guests agree: the weight of the score is reviews ÷ (reviews + 150), and the rest comes from 7.5 or the score itself, whichever is lower. Few reviews can only ever lower a resort’s place, never lift it.

Scores from fewer than 20 reviews are not shown. 63 of the 67 resorts have enough reviews to be ranked; the rest follow in name order.

Prices

We only ever show an all-inclusive rate, never a cheaper room-only or breakfast rate. Where we have no all-inclusive price yet, the card sends you to Booking.com to check your dates. We do not take bookings and may earn a commission when you book.
