Question
QUESTION: could you plese tell me what beaches (resorts) in mexico/jamaica are "clothed beaches"

ANSWER: All beaches in Mexico require clothing.  Topless is acceptable on the beach, but not at the pools.  There are only a few beaches that allow total nudity and they are associated with these resorts:
Desire Cabo and Cancun
Hidden Beach
Caribbean Reef Club

As for Jamaica, just like Mexico all beaches require clothing, except topless is acceptable.  There are many resorts in Jamiaca that have separate and private nude beaches:
Sunset Resort in Montego Bay
Hedonism II and III
Grand Lido Negril
Grand Lido Braco
Couples Sans Souci
Starfish Trelawny (separate topless area)

Hope this is the answer you were looking for.

QUESTION: ACTUALLY I WAS LOOKING FOR BEACHES THAT ARE NOT TOPLESS

Answer
Sorry to say that there will be very few beaches anywhere in Mexico or the Caribbean that do not allow topless sunbathing, as that is the way many Europeans sunbathe.

It is just something you will need to try to avoid or explain to your children that it is a different culture.  I have traveled with my children and at times it was a bit uncomfortable seeing females of all ages topless, it is just the way our cultures are different.  I have to say I was more uncomfortable with children being topless than women.  But again, that is a difference in our cultures.
