Go to TripAdvisor and search “baby” in the reviews section to see what people have said.

Also, check online to find out which was more recently renovated. Some resorts in Cancun haven’t been renovated in a while, even luxury ones

Good idea! Thank you!

Do you have status? We stayed at JW - it was great, pool amazing. Free breakfast. RC does not give people with status free breakfast. Small thing, but annoying.

How is the JW food ? Price and Quality?

Go to cabo instead. So damn humid in Cancun!

To be more helpful to your question then - I’ve never stayed at a JW I didn’t like, and never stayed at a Ritz I didn’t like.

Ritz is top tier. JW is right below it. It all comes down to the price point, which only you can decide. You’re comparing 2 Marriotts.

I’d spend a couple hundred more on the Ritz, but not an extensive amount more personally

The Ritz is quite dated for its standard rooms, though the service is great. I haven’t stayed at the JW so can’t compare.

Edit: I was there in 2018

^this. I was there in 2021. I’ve heard others with kids say great things about JW.

In case you’re open to other suggestions, Marriott bought the Royalton chain of all inclusives. I stayed at one that quite nice and affordable, but it was adults only. I believe there is a family resort as well.

I actually was looking into that property as well but only found the Adults only one that would let me redeem points

I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
