Whether you're journeying to Wyndham Alltra Cancun with a circle of friends as I did, or setting out on a family escapade, you'll discover that your expectations are not just met but exceeded. My stay at the resort alongside my fellow publishers illuminated the fact that this all inclusive resort provides an array of amenities designed to cater to all age groups, ensuring that even the most discerning toddler will uncover a treasure trove of delightful activities. From a variety of pools to beachside cabanas, a daily lineup of engaging activities and classes, Camp Alltra and Hashtag for kids and teens, along with a wide spectrum of dining options, Wyndham Alltra Cancun truly offers an all-encompassing experience.

Couples and families alike will discover a room configuration that perfectly suits their needs, given the wide variety of layouts among its 458 suites. You can choose from standard rooms with comfortable sitting areas, junior suites with spacious balconies, family rooms featuring bunk beds, or even the luxurious 1,366-square-foot presidential suites. Regardless of your budget or group size, there's an option that fits. Plus, rest assured that all rooms at this all inclusive resort come complete with daily restocked mini-bars and the convenience of room service.



Wyndham Alltra Cancun offers its guests a selection of two welcoming swimming pools, equipped with expansive sundecks, cozy loungers, and an attentive waiter service. Families can also delight in a splash pad and exhilarating water slides, designed to keep the children entertained. Each day, the resort organizes a diverse range of pool activities, from exciting family volleyball games to enjoyable water Zumba sessions. If aqua Zumba doesn't pique your interest, you can opt for a yoga class set against a breathtaking backdrop of the Caribbean Sea, or perhaps engage in a cooking lesson or indulge in arts and crafts, ensuring there's something enjoyable for everyone.



If your preference leans toward basking in the sun beside the idyllic Caribbean Sea, you'd be making a wise choice. Wyndham Alltra Cancun boasts an exquisite beach adorned with pristine white sands and the clearest turquoise waters you can imagine. Whether you opt for the resort's complimentary beachside loungers or decide to rent a private cabana, you'll relish the convenience of waiter service, ensuring refreshing drinks for your entire family without the need to depart your tranquil spot. While there, don't forget to indulge in a taco or four from Salsa, the delightful beachside taco stand that offers a diverse selection of options. I assure you, your taste buds won't be disappointed.



For those moments when you yearn for some grown-up time, the resort has tailored offerings to ensure everyone's enjoyment. Younger guests aged 4 to 12 can revel in the delights of Camp Alltra, featuring water sports, arts and crafts, nightly shows and more. While guests aged 13 to 17 can indulge in the excitement of Hashtag, featuring video games, billiards, and air hockey just to name a few. If you're in the mood for some self-care or fitness, you can attend daily classes at the resort's gym or unwind at the Aura Spa. Regardless of your guilty pleasure, rest assured that the kids will be well taken care of through supervised activities. They'll be so engrossed in their own enjoyment that sneaking away for an adults-only dining experience at one of the resort's diverse dining options should be a breeze. 



Wyndham Alltra Cancun takes pride in offering a diverse array of culinary experiences that are sure to satisfy every palate. Your dining options range from convenient daily buffet delights at Ventana, where you can savor quality without compromising on ease, to the pool and beachside food carts, featuring daily treats like tacos, burgers, and hotdogs. For a more leisurely dining experience, you can choose from one of the resort's four a la carte restaurants. You can embark on a delightful culinary journey at Azul, savoring the flavors of Asia, or opt for Casa de Rosa to experience authentic and mouth watering Mexican cuisine. Alternatively, Viaggio awaits with rustic Italian dishes, while At Sunset provides a serene backdrop of blue lagoon views to accompany its delicious menu.  And if a full day of beach or poolside relaxation has left you and your family feeling exhausted, they offer the convenience of inclusive room service, available from 7 am to 11 pm, so you can indulge in delicious meals from the comfort of your own room. At Wyndham Alltra Cancun, hunger is never an issue.



We're well aware that traveling with children can be tiring, and for me, a good cup of coffee is a necessity. Wyndham Alltra Cancun has a 24-hour coffee shop that offers an extensive selection of popular coffee concoctions, along with freshly made sandwiches and delectable in-house baked goods. Keep an ear out for the bell, which signals the arrival of ooey-gooey cinnamon buns fresh from the oven, ready to delight your taste buds. If you're on the lookout for sweet treats, look no further than Cravings. This is the go-to spot for self-serve snacks, a delightful assortment of treats, slushies, and ice cream. Even adults can't resist feeling a childlike sense of wonder in this retro-style soda shop.



As the sun sets and your family has had their fill, what's the plan when it's still too early to retreat to your rooms? Well, it's the perfect time to immerse yourself in the nightly live entertainment, featuring music, dance, and captivating theater performances, as well as themed parties and more perfect for all ages. In the heart of the resort's main lobby, you'll find the vibrant Kaa Bar and Lounge, a prime location for savoring a skillfully crafted drink while you soak in the evening's musical delights. Alternatively, if you prefer the refreshing Caribbean breeze, consider taking a seat by the poolside and indulging in a colorful cocktail or a refreshing beverage at Agave. Or for a more serene ambiance, head to the beach, where you can witness the breathtaking sunset, unwind on a comfortable lounger, and relish a margarita or your favorite wine from Las Olas Bar.

Reflecting on my hosted visit, I find it incredibly hard to single out my favorite aspects of this family-friendly resort. Was it an enjoyable art class by the pool, where we hand-painted hats, or perhaps the cooking class with a breathtaking ocean view, where we prepared Caribbean Ceviche teeming with fresh shrimp, adorned with pineapple and jicama. Wyndham Alltra Cancun consistently upholds the highest standards, yet one thing that really stood out to me as a traveler with children, was the exceptional ease of navigating the resort. Unlike extensive mega-resorts that require long treks with kids in tow, it offers an intimate and family-focused setting where convenience and quality are never compromised. You'll quickly discover that this luxurious property is teeming with boundless excitement and enrichment for guests of all ages, ensuring that nothing is overlooked in delivering an outstanding experience, and all within an arms reach



We all recognize that a wide range of amenities is absolutely essential when traveling with children. However, we also understand that the quality of customer service can profoundly affect the overall vacation experience. I think the most remarkable aspect of Wyndham Alltra Cancun, was undoubtedly the exceptional customer service. Every individual I encountered at the resort, greeted me with a warm smile. The staff appeared to genuinely relish their roles, and their gracious demeanor, coupled with their beaming smiles, left you contemplating whether you, too, might enjoy working in such a welcoming environment. I mean, can you really beat a job that you're genuinely passionate about, especially when it comes with the added bonus of the breathtaking backdrop of the Caribbean Sea and the Nichupte Lagoon.
