Rating7.9Adults OnlyRating8.2The Camp Club by Marriott for ages 4–12 is the standout children's programming feature — ziplining, wall climbing, crafts, beach walks, and music activities are genuinely distinctive compared to standard kids' clubs. Adult programming covers fitness, water sports, and evening entertainment. The water park with slides and lazy river is a major draw for families.
This generously sized, family-friendly pool is the heart of the resort's aquatic fun, featuring a convenient swim-up bar and a charming thatched shade structure. It's ideal for all guests seeking a lively atmosphere.
Designed exclusively for adults, this smaller infinity-edge pool offers breathtaking beach views, a dedicated swim-up bar, and comfortable built-in seating. Some guests refer to it as an 'adults-only cenote pool' for its unique feel.
Perfect for younger guests, this vibrant area includes exciting waterslides, a small lazy river for gentle floating, and a refreshing splash pad, ensuring hours of fun. The children's pool is typically open from 9 AM to 5 PM.
