The Best All-Inclusive Resorts With Swim-Up Rooms in Mexico

This couples-only boutique resort in Cancún is a perfect choice for romantic getaways. Splurge on a swim-up suite, spacious (1,098 sq. ft.) rooms with direct access to the pool. You’ll have a private deck terrace to lounge on, adding to the secluded honeymoon vibe.

There are a whopping 13 pools here, including one that links the resorts’ swim-up rooms (it’s actually more of a lazy river, sans waterfalls and inner tubes). Since the resort is massive, having a private pool access—and your own chairs—is a huge plus, as in peak season, there’s often a scramble for chairs at the other pools.

Since the ocean at this resort isn’t the safest for swimming, the pool scene is a pretty big deal. What makes Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos stand out is its ability to cater to all demographics, from families to spring breakers to romantic couples. There are a number of pools, from a kids’ pool to an infinity pool, but the swim-up suites are worth the splurge for their direct access to a quieter pool.

If you’re looking for your own private getaway within the convenience of a mega-resort, the Excellence Club Junior Swim Up Suite at the Excellence Riviera Cancun should be on your radar. Not only do guests in this accommodation have walk-out access to a pool, but they also have a private furnished terrace with a lounge bed.

Set on a private white-sand beach, Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun is a romantic adults-only property that offers high-quality dining options (including unlimited top-shelf liquor). The swim-out suites provide private access to one of the resort’s 12 pools. If you want even more privacy for your dip, these rooms feature two-person hot tubs.

With only 148 rooms, the family-friendly Azul Beach Resort Riviera Maya offers guests a more tranquil setting than some of the mega-resorts. One of its six pools sits between Luxury Walkout Suites, which feature patios that walk out onto the lazy river that will float guests to the main pool. These upgraded rooms have marble bathrooms with rainforest showerheads, daily stocked in-room minibars, and relaxing private hot tubs.

The Hyatt Zilara Cancun is one of the top luxury adults-only resorts in the Hotel Zone, and it doesn’t get much more luxurious than staying in a swim-up suite. These 848-square-foot rooms offer direct access to the pool and a furnished balcony with a hammock for peak relaxation. These rooms are designed for couples and feature a “magic box” that allows for no-contact room delivery.

Young adults flock to this adults-only resort on the Pacific for its luxurious rooms, gorgeous pools, and party-like atmosphere (you can thank unlimited premium alcohol for that), though its serene spa is also worth mentioning. Some suites on the ground floor offer swim-up access to a small, semi-private pool.
