There are endless activities and childcare options for kids of all ages, as well as babysitting and equipment rental for parents with babies or toddlers.

They really have thought of everything for families. From providing baby and toddler equipment to babysitting services, kid-friendly dining, outdoor activities and kids clubs, it’s perfect for kids of any age. The kids club (ages 4-12) is a multi-sensory playground, with 50 species of trees, butterflies, nature scavenger hunts, outdoor games, beach activities and more. Outside of the kids club, they can also try ziplining, horseback riding, surfing, SUP, snorkeling, biking, archery and more. For teens, they have a dedicated One Tribe club, with all the same outdoor activities as well as pickleball, tennis, cool crafts and design activities, video game tournaments and more. For the whole family, you can visit the infinity pools (at Alma restaurant children can pick a new juice daily, made from home-made syrups, fruits preserved onsite and a bouquet of herbs) and hang out at the Jetty Beach Club and Canalan Beach Club - with shaded areas, sandpits and water sports. The kids menus, children’s spa treatments and activities makes everyone feel welcome and pampered.

Parking service and valet parking is available. Pets are allowed (fees may apply). Children from 2 - 11 years old stay for free in the room rate.

About the Location

The hotel is located right on the beach, between the water and the rainforest, in Riviera Nayarit. Choose from exploration in nature, tranquil beach strolls, ocean swims, for your daily workouts. Discover the palm-fringed bike trails or take a jungle trek to La Abuela – the revered 500-year-old Grandmother tree. Active parents may like to try out horseback riding at the Mandarina Polo and Equestrian Club, or you can stick to surfing, hiking and golfing. The whole family will love visiting the butterfly dome - an enchanting mini ecosystem with pathways, a pond, bridge and flowering plants. Children can identify species, observe their life cycles, and help release the beautiful creatures back into nature.
