Category: Best Family Friendly Overwater Bungalows in Cancun in 2023.
A stay in an overwater bungalow/water villa in Cancun, Mexico might sound like something only for couples - the ultimate romantic getaway, but this is not always the case.
They can also be an incredibly memorable experience for children, and many overwater bungalow resorts will have child minding services, kid's clubs and even educational programs (mainly about marine life, the environment etc.) for children. Check on the booking page for each resort for all the fine details.
So then, for an alternative vacation experience for your family, here are our choices for the best family friendly/child friendly overwater bungalows in Cancun, Mexico in 2023.
Resorts with Overwater Bungalows in Cancun? There are only three!
Only three resorts near Cancun, and in Mexico in general, have overwater bungalows, and they are: Palafitos El Dorado, Rosewood Mayakoba and Banyan Tree Mayakoba. All three of which are just south of Cancun, in Playa del Carmen.
Of the three that do have them it is very difficult to judge which is better overall but we preferred the Palafitos bungalows at El Dorado as they have more of that traditional Polynesian vibe we have grown to like. Others though will doubtless prefer the sleek, modernity of both Rosewood Mayakoba's and Banyan Tree Mayakoba's.
Are they luxury resorts?
Yes, they are definitely luxury resorts - all three are 5-star in fact. Palafitos El Dorado is also adults-only and the only all-inclusive resort of the three. The Rosewood Mayakoba resort is family friendly but the overwater bungalows are for adults only. Banyan Tree then is family friendly - both the overwater bungalows and the resort in general.
Sounds wonderful! But what are prices like?
Sadly prices are not cheap! Budget at least $1,000 USD per night for a stay in an overwater bungalow in Cancun.
>>> Here then are our full reviews of Cancun's quite stunning, dream overwater bungalows....Enjoy!
Address: Banyan Tree Mayakoba Playa del Carmen Cancun Mexico
Why We Like It: The newest of only three overwater bungalow resorts in Mexico, the other two being the nearby Palafitos El Dorado Resort and the even more nearby Rosewood Mayakoba, Banyan Tree Mayakoba is another very much exclusive resort near Playa del Carmen. It wins consistently great reviews for its eco-friendly principles, its choice setting, its luxury accommodation and facilities, which include a Greg Norman-designed 18-hole golf course and an award-winning spa, and gourmet food & drink. Their overwater bungalows are more European chalet-like than rustic Polynesian. The interiors are sleek, modern, and plush but with plenty of nice earthy, back-to-nature touches. They are set over two floors and offer a far greater sense of privacy than most. Overwater Bungalows & Other Accommodation: The above-mentioned over-water villas are all doubles with king-size bed and are very spacious indeed – over their two floors they cover a full 2400 square feet / 222 sq. meters. They have a heated plunge pool on the private terrace which has views over the lagoon. Their bathrooms are particularly nice with spa baths as standard. As with the resort in general, though they have READ THE REVIEW
