3 Tips for Traveling Stress-Free With Your Big Family in Playa del Carmen Mexico

Playa del Carmen Mexico is a traveler’s paradise: swimming with the dolphins, Mayan ruins,  tropical birds, snorkeling, diving, catamaya sailing, zipline tours. It’s a fantastic place to take your big family of 5, 6, 7, or 8, but you will need to keep some key things in mind to avoid getting stressed out. Here are the top 3 tips for big families whose next destination is Playa del Carmen Mexico.

1. Avoid Hotel Rooms.

If you’ve ever tried to cram your big family into a single hotel room, you know it’s an impossible situation. Fortunately, in Mexico many hotels offer family suites, so if you book ahead you’ll be fairly comfortable. An even smarter option is to rent a condo. You’d be surprised at how affordable this is. Make sure you have enough rooms for everyone to spread out, and respect your older kids’ need for some privacy.

2. Plan Your Meals.

Some of your kids may be omnivores, others may be picky eaters. In Playa del Carmen, it’s easy to accommodate everyone’s preferences if you do a little pre-planning. When renting a condo, you can save money by cooking your own meals. Local shops and international grocery store chains like Wal-mart and Mega have an excellent selection of food. There’s a convenience store nearby as well for those quick items you may need.

3. Learn a little Spanish.

As anyone who’s traveled with a child knows, your little one is a great conversation-starter. Multiply that by 5, 6, 7, or 8, and you will have a hard time avoiding conversations about your family! But why would you want to? Chatting about your big family and encouraging your kids to mingle with local children is a fantastic way to make authentic connections and immerse yourself in the culture. Practice your language skills together as a family and enjoy the adventure.

As a travel destination, Playa del Carmen has something to offer kids and adults of all ages. If you follow these three tips, hang onto your sense of humor, and stay calm, you’ll have an unforgettable time exploring the colorful and picturesque city of Playa del Carmen Mexico with your big family.
