Cancun is a major resort destination on the Yucatan Peninsula overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. One visit and you'll understand why this stretch of white-sand beach transformed into the thriving resort destination you'll experience today. The hotel zone stretches along the coastline between the Nichupte Lagoon and the aquamarine waters of the Caribbean.
While most people connect Cancun to Spring Break, there is much more to this seaside resort community than a rowdy reputation. This region of Mexico is known for its extensive Mayan culture and artifacts. The Museo Maya de Cancun, located in the hotel zone, hosts more than 400 artifacts and an outdoor exhibit including original ruins among walking paths.
To the north is the community of Playa Mujeres, a sleepy resort area that has grown in recent years. Exquisite resorts are staking a claim along this area offering an alternative to the bustling hotel zone without sacrificing the beach experience.
To the south, stretching from Puerto Morelos to Tulum is the resort area known as Riviera Maya. For information on this area, please explore our Riviera Maya page.
Sargassum/Seaweed Advisory
Sargassum is a free-floating seaweed that is especially prolific in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. While beneficial to ocean life, these large free-floating seaweed mats often wash up on beaches. The amount of seaweed on the beaches fluctuates based on the time of year and ocean currents. While resorts do their best to maintain the beaches for their guests, you may experience some inconvenience during your stay.
The Beach : 15 miles of beachfront stretches as far as you can see separating a lagoon from the stunning Caribbean.
Mayan Culture : The Museo Maya de Cancun and El Rey Archeological Zone for some local insight into the Mayan culture.
Nightlife : Bars, lounges, dance clubs, and more line the hotel zone offering ample entertainment options.
Shopping : For a break from the beach, take a stroll at La Isla Shopping Village and Plaza Kukulcán. If you are looking for local artisans, visit the markets in El Centro.
