As a first-time mom, I did not understand the desire for resorts with baby clubs. I was very uncomfortable with the thought of leaving my daughter in the care of someone other than a family member whether we were home or away. But once my son came along, I understood the need. BIG TIME.
You see, first-time parents don’t necessarily need a resort with a lot of bells and whistles (yet). But those who have two and maybe even three little ones? THEY. NEED. A. BABY. CLUB.

Properties Offering Baby Care in the Caribbean & Mexico
Most resorts offer some form of private babysitting, or can refer you to a local agency who can help out. But having the convenience of a place to drop off little ones, even just to get them into some air-conditioning for a little bit, can mean a real vacation for you and your partner too.
This list is a work in progress. But, I’ve compiled all of the properties that offer baby clubs or supervised infant and toddler amenities in the Caribbean and Mexico. And they are listed by country below…
Resorts with Baby Clubs in Cuba:
Cuba still struggles sometimes with the perception of less-then-appetizing food or somewhat haphazard amenities. But, Cuba is awesome for families. It is safe and clean. And, while the number of resorts that can accommodate large families is somewhat astounding (ie – very very few) it actually has quite a lot of resorts that offer baby care.
Listed below are the resorts offering baby clubs in Cuba. And Click here for a more in-depth look at these resorts and what they offer.

Resorts with Baby Clubs in the Dominican Republic:
Punta Cana seems to be the place to be, as all the resorts that offer baby clubs in the Dominican Republic seem to be located here.
While the mega-properties can seem huge and a little overwhelming, knowing there’s well-regarded baby care on site that will happily take your baby or toddler for a little while might give you a chance to explore some of it.

Resorts with Baby Clubs in Jamaica:
Jamaica kind of takes the cake when it comes to availability of baby clubs. They’ve got the creme de la creme with two Beaches Resorts plus the wonderfullness that is Franklyn D. Resort and their famed vacation nannies.
Jamaica may be pricier than some other Caribbean destinations, but if you factor in the things like potable tap water, good medical care, and great food, and maybe padding the budget a bit is worth it.

Resorts with Baby Clubs in Mexico:
Mexico and its warm and wonderful family-friendly culture has many destinations with their own appeal, plus so many different accommodation options that are suitable for families. They have some amazing resorts, and some of those resorts offer included baby care (or in the instance of Club Med Ixtapa Pacific, available at an extra cost. Baby Club Med is amazing).
But given Mexico‘s size, there are actually not that many resorts with baby clubs, and with the exception of Club Med’s Baby Club Med and Melia Puerto Vallarta, the minimum age to participate starts at one year.

I have never stayed at the Franklyn D in Jamaica but I have to tell you that I have only heard rave reviews from every person who has.

Hi Sabrina, i am looking for private chefs in Barbados. Please, could you write me to [email protected]? Thank you
I’m looking for a personal house keeper, maybe late nights. Some mornings when mostly out of town.
[email protected] reach me here if available
I forgot to say I am from Barbados, on the West Coast. Thanks
This is a great list of resources for people who want to travel with their child, but are looking for safe childcare so they can have a night or two off. This post was a wonderful idea, and I’m sure many new parents would find these baby clubs useful!
hi, How about Aruba, Turks & Caicos, Cayman Island, Curacao?
Beaches Turks & Caicos is amazing, but for this post I just included destinations where I had enough info to write about more than just one property. Unfortunately I don’t have much information about the other islands you’ve mentioned!
Royal Son Bou in Menorca. They not only offer babyclubs, but they’re cheap as well. And at a beach. It’s amazing there. Aimed at 0-4 year olds!
Hello. Do you know if it possible to bring a baby who is 9 to 11 months old to one of the Grand Palladium resorts in Rivieria Maya – Colonial or Kantenah?
Would our baby girl be able to go in the kid’s pools or play in the baby club if my wife and I are there with her?
Do you know if they offer any baby amenities other than cribs?
Thanks!
Grand Palladium resorts are great for babies and you most certainly should be able to go in the pools with your baby. Enjoy!
