Itinerary
Day 1
Full-day access — choose a 10:00 start for comfortable mid-morning arrival. Total park time: 8 hours (10:00–18:00).
Arrival & Check-in at KUZÁ Beach & Adventure Park
Meet at the KUZÁ entrance, collect wristbands and orientation. Staff will point out restrooms, changing areas, the buffet location and the family-friendly playground.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask staff for a shaded lounger near the playground so you can watch kids while relaxing.
- The park issues wristbands — keep them on children at all times for easy re-entry and safety.
- Restrooms and changing rooms are located near the entrance; bring a swim diaper for infants if needed.
Welcome Drink & Quick Orientation (Family-friendly)
Enjoy a complimentary welcome drink (mocktail for kids) while staff briefly run through the day’s schedule: kids activities, live show times, trail access and where to find first aid.
Tips from local experts:
- Request non-alcoholic options for kids and parents who prefer them — staff are used to preparing mocktails.
- Note the location and hours of the park first-aid station in case of minor scrapes; it’s close to the main palapa.
- If you need a high chair or child seat at mealtimes, ask the buffet staff on arrival.
Beach Time: Shaded Loungers & Gentle Swimming
Settle into a shaded lounger or hammock and let the kids splash at the calm, shallow shoreline. Lifeguard coverage is typically present in family areas.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring reef-safe sunscreen and apply before heading into the water — the park supports eco-friendly products to protect coral.
- Pack a small beach bag with snacks, a change of clothes, and swim toys; the park has vendors but quick snacks are handy between meals.
- If anyone has sensitive ears or little ones who nap, the shaded palapas near the trees are quieter and stroller-friendly.
Family Buffet Lunch (Unlimited beachfront buffet)
Head to the beachfront buffet for a family-friendly lunch with Mexican and international dishes. Buffet items include kid-friendly staples and allergy-aware options on request.
Tips from local experts:
- Go early when the buffet opens to avoid peak queues and to get the best selection for picky eaters.
- Buffet staff can tell you which dishes are nut-free or dairy-free — ask them to help assemble a safe plate for children with allergies.
- Bring a lightweight bib/placemat for toddlers — seating areas can get sandy; shaded tables are available and stroller parking is common.
Eco-Park Walking Trail: Short Family Loop
Explore a shaded eco-trail through native greenery. This easy trail is perfect for little legs and introduces children to local plants and birds.
Tips from local experts:
- Trails are stroller-accessible for the main loop but bring a baby carrier for narrow sections.
- Walk in the cooler part of the afternoon to avoid midday heat; carry water and use hat/sun protection for kids.
- Encourage kids to spot local birds or butterflies — a small activity sheet or phone photo scavenger list keeps them engaged.
Playtime at the Beachfront Playground & Family Games
Let kids use the dedicated playground while parents join in light beach games organized by KUZÁ staff (or relax nearby).
Tips from local experts:
- The playground area is shaded — still check shoes for hot sand before children run around.
- Bring an extra set of swimwear for kids — playgrounds often lead to more splashing and sand play.
- If a child needs a nap, the park has quiet shaded hammocks; staff can point you to the calmest spots.
Optional Add-on Experiences (book onsite): Starfish Clearboat or Snorkel Tours
Choose an optional 1.5–2 hour excursion: a clear-boat Starfish Sanctuary exploration (gentle for kids) or a guided reef snorkel for families with older children. Book at the KUZÁ desk early to reserve slots.
Tips from local experts:
- For families with children under ~6, prefer the clear-boat option — it’s calm and lets kids watch marine life without getting in the water.
- If snorkeling, bring or request kids’ life vests; guided tours typically provide child-sized vests and snorkel gear.
- Reserve add-ons right after check-in — popular time slots fill fast, and the park coordinates departure times to minimize waiting.
Quiet Time: Hammocks & Snack Break
Return to the park for a relaxed snack or ice cream, letting children recharge in hammocks or shaded lounges while parents sip a beverage.
Tips from local experts:
- Pick up fresh fruit or ice cream at the beach kiosks — many items are kid-approved and portion-friendly.
- If anyone needs a quick shower/change, use the park’s outdoor rinse stations to remove sand before heading home.
- Keep a small first-aid kit handy for blisters or minor scrapes; staff can help with bandaids and antiseptic if needed.
Live Music & Beach Games — Family Finale
Enjoy the park's afternoon live music and short family beach games. A cheerful, low-key way to end a day and get everyone moving one last time.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a light jacket for parents as the sea breeze can cool down in the late afternoon.
- Position near the band/entertainment area for easy participation in beach games and dances with kids.
- If you prefer to skip loud music, ask staff for quieter seating near the shoreline where sound is softer.
Golden Hour & Departure — Quick Farewells
Take family photos on the white sand during golden hour, return towels/gear, collect belongings and check out at the entrance.
Tips from local experts:
- Golden hour photos are best facing west — place kids near a palm or hammock for a cozy shot.
- Confirm where you parked or your transportation pick-up point when checking out to avoid last-minute scrambling.
- Ask staff about lost-and-found immediately if anything is missing — they keep items for a few days.
