Why an all-inclusive holiday to Cancun will charm couples and children alike

What: Luxurious rooms, delectable food and drink, sun-drenched activities and endless fun for kids

Where: Moon Palace The Grand Cancun and Moon Palace Cancun, both overlooking the Caribbean Sea in Cancun, Mexico’s most easterly city

Don’t miss: The handmade tortillas and authentic Mayan dishes at both hotels

Highlight: Spending time in the ocean, either kayaking or sailing a catamaran

Year-round warmth, energetic nightlife and tacos at every turn — could Cancun be the most crowd-pleasing holiday destination on the planet? That’s before we’ve even discussed its breathtaking beaches, where the water is the definition of turquoise and the sand, mostly pulverised coral, is powdery white.

But where’s best to make the most of all this? Whether you’re seeking a serene couples’ escape or a fun-filled family blowout, British Airways Holidays has a Cancun resort that will deliver. In addition, British Airways Holidays offers quality, great value holidays that are ATOL protected from the moment you book.

Cocktails and spa days at Moon Palace The Grand Cancun

Choose from nine gorgeous pools to relax by, saving your energy for a feast of on-resort entertainment

Moon Palace The Grand Cancun

Some hotels just hit different, and The Grand, part of the Moon Palace Cancun complex, was designed to deliver an elevated experience wherever possible.

Couples and friends looking for a relaxing retreat will be in heaven here, with double whirlpool tubs in the luxury suites, hydrotherapy sessions in the O Spa, complimentary yoga classes in the fitness centre and hand-mixed cocktails in the adults-only 1920s-themed bar, Speakeasy.

Feeling more energetic? Then spend the day at the water park, kayaking in the Caribbean Sea or practising your strokes on the padel court.

A stay at The Grand also gives you free reign over the whole Moon Palace complex too, so there's the opportunity to play a round on the 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course at Moon Palace Cancun, or get a taste of home with a pint and some pool at Moon Palace Nizuc's stylish take on the English pub.

Little ones can bumble around in the splash pools, while bigger kids and teens can enjoy mini golf, learn to sail, try surfing on the wave simulator or get competitive with new pals on the arcade games in the Wired Lounge.

There’s also basketball, pickleball, non-motorised water sports and bike hire, plus guests at Moon Palace Cancun make full use of the facilities and entertainment at nearby Moon Palace Nizuc. No member of the brood can say they’re bored here.

The cherry on top? Children and teens under 18 can stay for free when sharing a room with an adult.
