Hotels in Cancun

Spring time is ideal. Cancun gets nice weather at all times of year, but the period between December and April is when you’re most certain to have sunny days. Summer can be sweltering and early autumn is likely to bring storms, which can be great for surfing but not for lazing on the beach.

Choose a hotel in Punta Cancun for a lively break. Best for younger groups, it’s the centre of Cancun’s famous nightlife. By day, venture 20 minutes inland to Xcaret to swim in underwater rivers. By evening, check out Coco Bongo or The City nightclub to dance the night away.Hotels in Zona Hotelera (Hotel Zone) are a great choice for families. The area is within easy reach of attractions like waterpark Ventura Park (16km away) and Croco Cun Zoo (40 minutes’ drive away). Visit La Isla Shopping Village, where you’ll find an Interactive Aquarium, and a cinema alongside high-end boutiques and tourist stores. It’s just a five-minute drive from Zona Hotelera.You’ll also be within easy reach of Punta Nizuc, where you’ll find the Great Maya reef and the statues of Cancun Underwater Museum. It’s between 12 and 20 kilometres away from Zona Hotelera.If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican experience, choose a hotel in El Centro. You can visit the Mayan ruins of El Meco (9km away) or see a bullfight at Plaza del Toros. Head to Yaxchilan Avenue for the area’s best bars.Thirteen kilometres off Cancun’s northern shore, hotels on Isla Mujeres offer a slice of paradise to families and couples. Visit La Tortugranja to see baby sea turtles or head down to the island’s southern tip to see the ruins of the Ancient Mayan Ixchel Temple. The temple is 40 minutes away on foot, or you can hire a golf cart for the best way to get around the beautiful island.
