Sum·mer (noun): The warmest season of the year.
How can the definition of such a wonderful thing, be so boring? The warmest season of the year? How about the season of fun? The season of sun? The season of forgetting what day it is? To us, one of the great things about summer is that it's a time to get away and see something new while reconnecting with those we cherish most... and one of our favorite places to do that is in MEXICO!
Places like Cancun are great for honeymoons and romantic getaways, but it's also the perfect place to make memories with your kids, your friends, and your extended family. In this blog, we're highlighting some of the top FAMILY resorts in Mexico your family should visit this summer.

#2 Hard Rock Riviera Maya
It doesn't matter how old, or should we say young at heart, you are, it's always fun to party like a rockstar.
This family-friendly resort is exactly that... a party. On top of the amazing pools and water park, Hard Rock Riviera Maya takes things up a notch with its typical "day-to-day" entertainment. Like a pool foam party...

I mean, who said the parents couldn't play while the kids are away? ;) Another great thing about this resort is its Kids Club, the Hard Rock Roxity Kids Club! It features different themes every day, so two days on-site are never the same. Your kids will be able to do things like arts and crafts, snorkeling, talent shows, even their own pool parties.
... And don't worry about food or things like a spa because this resort has made sure to dot all the i's and cross all the t's.
