When it comes to family getaways, the best vacations are the ones where everyone finds their own kind of fun. At Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun, that’s easy to do. Set along Mexico’s Caribbean coast, the resort blends laid-back beach days with plenty of ways to stay entertained, from inviting pools and activities to delicious dining and spaces designed for both relaxation and play. With Sunwing, families can make booking the vacation just as easy, turning the countdown to vacation into part of the fun.
Little guests, big adventures
For kids, vacation at Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun is about much more than building sandcastles. Star Camp gives younger guests their own space to play, explore and make new friends, with activities tailored to different age groups. Depending on the day, little travellers might get creative with arts and crafts, try their hand at cooking, make a short film or take part in activities focused on caring for the environment. With trained activity leaders guiding the fun, kids can discover new interests and enjoy a little independence while parents get some well-earned time to themselves.

The fun continues beyond Star Camp, with plenty of opportunities for families to play together, too. Kids can splash around in the children’s pool, enjoy the resort’s water activities or head to the beach for some quality family time. And when evening rolls around, the younger crowd can keep the vacation vibes going with entertainment designed especially for them. It’s the kind of setup where kids can come home with stories of their own vacation adventures - and parents can actually say they had a chance to relax, too.
A day in paradise, your way, from sunrise to sunset
Mornings can start with a refreshing dip in one of the resort’s five pools, a game of tennis or a snorkelling session in the Caribbean, while water sports and daily activities keep the energy going as the day unfolds. Or, for those who prefer a slower start, there’s always the option to settle into a beach chair, enjoy a leisurely lunch and let the sounds of the Caribbean set the pace.
As the sun starts to set, the resort shifts into evening mode. Live music and nightly entertainment give families an easy way to keep the good times going after dinner, while four bars and a variety of dining options - including Italian, Mexican, Caribbean and Spanish cuisine, make it easy to turn dinner into part of the evening. Whether you’re lingering over a meal, enjoying live music or calling it an early night after a full day in the sun, vacation here is all about choosing your own pace.

Make time for yourself
Of course, family vacations aren’t just about keeping everyone entertained. They’re also about finding those little pockets of time to slow down. After a morning by the beach or an afternoon in the pool, parents can carve out some time for themselves at Spa Sensations, where massages and wellness treatments offer an easy way to unwind. From soothing massages and facials to body scrubs, to manicures and pedicures, the spa provides plenty of ways to turn a few hours of downtime into some well-deserved self-care.
At the end of the day, it’s the little moments that make a family getaway memorable: sandy toes after the beach, laughing over dinner and hearing the kids talk about their favourite part of the day. Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun makes room for all of it, with a mix of family-friendly amenities, activities and downtime that lets everyone vacation their own way. When you’re ready to trade the everyday routine for a little more sunshine, book your next family escape with Sunwing and let the vacation begin.
