Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner and it’s a great time of year for a fun getaway to take the kids to one of our favorite luxury Mexico beach resorts for families! Americans have fully embraced Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican holiday that celebrates the country’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla, and this had become a very popular time to take a quick vacation to join the celebration. The holiday always falls on May 5th, just before the weather is starting to turn warm in cooler parts of the US making it a great time to visit Mexico as a family or on an adults getaway and experience the country’s rich culture, delicious food, and stunning landscapes all while toasting Cinco de Mayo with a fresh margarita or Corona with lime.
