Planning a trip that works for grandparents, parents and kids all at once takes a different kind of resort than a typical family vacation — here’s what to look for.
By Vacation Intel
Best for Spacious Family Suites: Nickelodeon Resorts
Nickelodeon’s family suites are often larger than standard hotel rooms, built specifically to accommodate bigger groups — a genuine advantage when three generations are sharing space.
Best for Flexible Dining: Dreams Resorts
Dreams’ no-reservations-required dining across all restaurants makes it easier to accommodate a large, multigenerational group without having to book every meal in advance.
Best for Something for Everyone: Beaches Resorts
Beaches’ broad range of kids clubs, water parks and adult-focused amenities within the same resort genuinely helps when different generations want different things during the day.
Best for a Villa-Style Group Trip: Riviera Maya
For larger groups, a villa or multi-room suite in the Riviera Maya can work out more cost-effective and give everyone their own space, while still offering resort amenities nearby.
How to Choose
Consider room configurations that can sleep or connect larger groups, dining flexibility so everyone isn’t locked into the same schedule, and a range of activities that suit both kids and older adults.
