I think you should try and look else where. I had a 4 & 6 year old and we were very unhappy with our stay at this hotel. I feel bad telling you this since you may have already pre-paid .I don't know of any excursions you could do with a 2 year old.

For the zip lining, you are transported in a open truck vehicle up the side of the mountain on a dirt road. The road does have a decent angle to it but seems to be relatively safe. We stayed at the Riu and watched people going up and down the roads everyday, several times, without any issues. My husband did the zip lining and said the upper roads were steep/bumpy but safe.
