Visitors of all ages are welcome to go for swims in both the indoor and outdoor pools. While enjoying all the different amenities, don\u2019t forget to grab a snack from the seasonal poolside cabana bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"holiday-inn-beach\" class=\"wp-image-3642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2-550x366.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/holidayinn_beach2.jpg 1111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

In the meantime, parents can head over to the spa &amp; wellness center for a couples massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While staying at the Grand Palladium Resort, take a family trip to Akumal, a popular coastal town in Mexico. At Akumal, you will have the opportunity to go snorkeling and diving. The coast serves as a sea turtle nesting ground, so chances are, you will have the opportunity to swim alongside turtles and other colorful sea creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other activities to do in Akumal include exploring underground caverns and caves, going on fishing tours, interacting with rescued animals at the Akumal Monkey Sanctuary, and visiting the preserved Mayan Tulum ruins overlooking the Caribbean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"gp-kantenah-pool\" class=\"wp-image-3649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02-550x366.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Family-Selection-GP-Kantenah_02.jpg 1111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have More Fun With ResortPass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of having to choose just one destination for the best summer vacation, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resortpass.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ResortPass<\/a> to keep the fun going all summer long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With ResortPass you can browse through over a thousand hotels, see what amenities they have to offer, and purchase Day Passes, Spa Passes, and Cabanas without paying to spend the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your family will be thrilled to discover that the best summer vacation is the summer of daycations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summertime is the perfect time for family trips.
