Cancun Resorts

[ Get Quote | Browse Hotels ]

Cancun means "nest of snakes" in Mayan, referring to the long and narrow island half of this coastal city. Located in the Yucatan Peninsula, it is surrounded by water on 3 sides - the Caribbean Sea, the Nichupte Lagoon, and the Bahia de Mujeres - and is known internationally for its tropical beauty and fantastically preserved archaeological treasures. One of the most modern, and by far the most visited, tourist resorts in the country, it is characterized by rows of resort hotels and beautiful beaches, where the sand is particularly fine and brilliantly white due to its coral origin. Cancún is stunning, with seas that sparkle in every imaginable shade of emerald and turquoise while sheltering a wealth of reef life.

Beginning south of Cancún, the Riviera Maya is taking shape as Mexico's newest holiday land. The region is a 50-mile stretch of luxurious tourist resorts, sugar-white palm-fringed beaches, ecological parks and major archaeological sites. Divers and snorkelers are drawn to the world's 2nd largest barrier reef, subterranean rivers and "cenotes". The town of Playa del Carmen provides a fun and festive respite, with a good choice of bars, restaurants and shopping treasures. It's also where visitors catch the ferry to Cozumel. Rivera Maya resorts are generally all-inclusive and are confined to a few pockets of developed areas, leaving most of the region uninhabited and ideal for visitors seeking a Mexican-Caribbean getaway in a secluded setting.
