Open since November 2010, Azul Fives is the newest of three Azul properties on Mexico's Riviera Maya, the popular resort area that lies south of Cancun. If the toy-lending library, featuring playthings by Fisher-Price, isn't enough to lure you to Azul Fives for your all-inclusive family vacation in Mexico, perhaps the huge Azulitos Kid's Club and its array of My Gym equipment (ropes, trampoline, springboard, floor pads) will.

Open since November 2010, Azul Fives is the newest of three Azul properties on Mexico's Riviera Maya, the popular resort area that lies south of Cancun. If the toy-lending library, featuring playthings by Fisher-Price, isn't enough to lure you to Azul Fives for your all-inclusive family vacation in Mexico, perhaps the huge Azulitos Kid's Club and its array of My Gym equipment (ropes, trampoline, springboard, floor pads) will. Then, of course, there are the fruit smoothies for kids at check-in, G-rated live entertainment in the evenings, and multi-bedroom suites for large families.

Accommodations here include standard rooms with two double beds, but if you'd appreciate more space (and your pocketbook can handle it), consider a one-, two-, or three-bedroom suite with a full kitchen. Room service—included in the all-inclusive rate—is offered 24 hours a day, so you can enjoy in-room meals at the large dining tables in each suite, as well. Penthouse suites have private rooftop terraces where you can host a barbecue—do it yourself or hire a private chef to cook for your group.

Indeed, Azul Fives, with its Gourmet Inclusive packages, puts a lot of effort into its dining options. In addition to the buffet-style, air-conditioned Flavours, which features international cuisine plus a kid-sized station, there's Sea Olive for Mediterranean and Tzuki for Asian—each with generous children's menus. A multi-course meal for adults at the upscale Senses restaurant is an additional fee, upwards of $100 per person. Weekly special lunches are festive affairs, with a fish fry and big paella spread on the menu. Don't want to get up from your chaise lounge for lunch? Just place an order and have a picnic meal delivered to you on the beach; it's all included in your room rate.
