More about Azul Beach Resort Riviera Cancun, the rooms are spacious, the staff is so friendly. I felt safe at all times and when I talked to other families on the property they mentioned that they felt safe as well and allowed their tweens and teens to enjoy themselves worry-free. 

The food was amazing at all the restaurants at the resort, I enjoyed dining at all of the restaurants, my favorite was Le Chique, one of Mexicos top 120 restaurants of 2019. The food was amazing, the presentation of each dish was absolutely beautiful.

My other favorite was the outdoor bbq on the beach, that was awesome watching the breathtaking view and enjoying the casual atmosphere and food.


The pools were refreshing and wonderful. I could have spent my entire trip relaxing in the pools. Azul Beach Resort Cancun included family-friendly pools as well as adult-only pools with swim-up bars, cabanas and concierge service as well. 


If you're planning a family trip, but still want some alone time, the Azul Beach Resort has great kids club which is called Azulitos. The kids can be entertained with an array of daytime and evening activities. Teens can also enjoy the Extreme Breeze Teens lounge with daily activities organized outdoors as well as indoors.
