Not really. The property tags itself "Best 10+" — programming and amenities skew to older kids. Toddlers will be fine on the grounds, but you're paying for facilities they can't fully use.
From $800/night; the altitude (11,200 ft) affects all visitors — build in acclimatization days. Pricing Value scores 54/100 — on the expensive side for what's included.
No dedicated kids' club listed, but there's on-property play (pools, playground, or game room) and Kid Amenities scores 74/100. Plan to be hands-on; don't count on supervised programming.
Pricing Value at 54/100 is the real soft spot — you're paying a premium versus comparable peers; check whether the amenities you'll actually use justify it.
