Cancun Overview

(c) Cancun Tourism.
Mexico's most popular vacation destination, Cancún enjoys 240 days of sunshine a year, more than almost any other Caribbean location. A little more than 25 years ago, it was carved out of jungle. Today many vacationers venture back in to explore the Mayan archeological ruins at Tulum, Chichen Itza, and Uxmal-Merida. While Cancún's Hotel Zone can be crowded and touristy, the following top resorts provide oases of serenity:

Maroma - This Orient-Express hotel stands on the no. 1 beach in the world according to the Travel Channel and has been named to Condé Nast's Gold List multiple times

The Tides Riviera Maya - Voted one of the best new hotels in the world by Condé Nast Traveler magazine in 2002, The Tides Riviera Maya (formerly known as Ikal del Mar) is on the Riviera Maya outside the bustle of Cancun. But if it's sand, sea, and serenity you seek, this is the place. The seaside luxury resort features 36 private air-conditioned villas, each with its own pool. And your hammock awaits....
