Another Christmas and New Year are looming, and right around the jingle bell corner are thoughts of extended families, office parties, and — let’s face it — trying to please everyone….not to mention the list of gifts that we have yet to choose and purchase.
Festive holiday fun is even better with sunshine. Say adios to the crowded shopping mall and head somewhere warm and sunny, instead of shoveling snow at home? Not just a vacation for you, but as a combined gift for the family too. After all, this is something they will really want!
Swap eggnog by the fire for a beachfront cocktail instead, and try one of these all-inclusive resorts, best for festive holiday fun.
Before you book
Make a wish-list of what you want from your Christmas vacation, and check it twice.
- A quiet adults-only romantic escape for you and your sweetest?
- A place where your kids will have a blast all day long and you don’t have to be the one entertaining them?
- Memorable gourmet meals?
- A great Spa where you can get pampered?
- Nearby shopping, museums, art, and a little culture?
- Pickleball?
- A quiet lounger in the sun where you can catch up on those books you’ve been wanting to read?
Your list may be a long one, but you still don’t want to blow the yearly vacation budget, so…..head for an all-inclusive resort in Mexico.
If you’re taking the whole family, be sure to check out the kid’s entertainment, whether Santa will be on-site or paying a visit, and ask what holiday-themed activities will be offered. Don’t forget to browse the holiday menus too – availability of a few traditional dishes can make or break the festive fun.
Coupling up for Christmas? Then make sure it’s an adults-only romantic hotspot – and not teeming with three-year-old elves and helpers. Christmas themed cocktails should be more your concern!

Finest Playa Mujeres

Here family members can design–and savor–their own experiences. Grown-ups can relax, recharge and indulge in the finer pleasures while the kids can play, learn and, most of all, laugh.
At Christmas time, there’s an extra-special reason to bring along another gift. Their “Christmas Share Party” means that you can join in at any time of the year. Bring a suitable toy, such as a soccer ball, doll, stuffed animals, games & puzzles, even clothes & shoes, school supplies are welcome. Then at Christmas, these gifts are given to less privileged local children between the ages of 3 and 17 years old. It’s a lovely way to give a little back. Besides giving, the resort offers a whole host of seasonal fun, and the kid’s activities are sure to keep your little ones busy, while you enjoy a relaxing time, working on your tan knowing they are safely amused.
