Recreation
The resort's main beach extends 200 meters (219 yards) along a bay west of Cancún Island's northernmost point called Punta Cancún. Here the water remains calm in most weather, offers snorkeling opportunities, and features a large offshore trampoline raft. Overlooking the beach is a 15-person spa tub.
Another beach, measuring 68.5 meters (75 yards), faces the open sea east of the point. Beaches are furnished with padded lounge chairs and thatched-roof palapas. Swimming is also available in the resort's placid saltwater lagoon, which measures roughly 68.5-by-68.5 meters (75-by-75 yards) and laps against the resort's pyramid wing on one side and a beach with lounge chairs on the other.
Fresh-water swimming options comprise an irregularly shaped 30.5-meter-long (100-ft) heated pool adjacent to the lagoon and a 16.5-meter-long (18-yard) freeform pool outside the resort's tower near the open-sea beach. Both pools are bordered by umbrellas and thickly cushioned teak lounge chairs.
As part of the All-Inclusive Plan, guests are permitted to use kayaks, snorkeling gear, and Hobie Cat sailboats off the calm-water beach and AquaTrikes in the lagoon. For surcharges, an independent operator at the resort offers personal watercraft, parasailing, water skiing, banana-boating, snorkeling excursions, and scuba diving instruction and excursions.
A paved jogging/strolling path extends through a green lawn along the pyramid wing's sea-facing side, offering panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea rolling against Punta Cancún. Along the path is a ruin of a Mayan shrine that is 500-800 years old. The path also passes a rocky point on whose tip rises a red-and-white-striped column topped by a marine-navigation light. A suspended rope aids guests walking to the light.
Other complimentary recreational facilities include a bungee-cord trampoline and a lighted tennis court. Yoga classes are offered on the lagoon beach. The 18-hole Pok-Ta-Pok Golf Club is two km (1.25 miles) from the resort, and the 18-hole Hilton golf course is 7.5 km (4.75 miles).
The recreational activities listed below are available either on site or near the resort; fees may apply.
