Top neighbourhoods in Cancun

Zona Hotelera

Cancun's Hotel Zone delivers exactly what you'd expect: miles of postcard-perfect beaches with water so blue it looks Photoshopped. The 14-mile strip packs in everything from wild nightclubs like Coco Bongo to open-air shopping at La Isla mall. Between beach lounging and frozen margaritas, you can explore the Mayan Museum or swim with tropical fish at the Interactive Aquarium. Resort shuttles and taxis handle most transport needs along Boulevard Kukulcan. High-rise hotels dominate the landscape, offering everything from swim-up bars to championship golf courses. The tradeoff for paradise? Everything costs more here, and authentic Mexican culture takes a backseat to tourist-friendly experiences.

Cancun_BenitoJuarezMunicipalBuilding_6277943_016

City centre Cancun captures the real Mexico with its lively markets and local flavour. Stroll through Parque de las Palapas where families gather under palm trees and vendors serve up delicious street treats. Mercado 28 and Mercado 23 offer handcrafted treasures from colourful textiles to wooden masks. The pink-domed cathedral brings a touch of serenity to this buzzing district. Authentic taquerías serve mouthwatering cochinita pibil and fresh seafood at wallet-friendly prices. Budget hotels and family-run guesthouses make staying here affordable.

From upscale dining to shopping at nearby La Isla, everything in this vibrant entertainment district caters to visitors seeking fun in the sun.

La Isla

La Isla is where Cancun shows off its glamorous side with endless sunshine and sparkling blue waters. You can shop at the open-air La Isla Shopping Village, get up close with sea creatures at the interactive aquarium, or simply sprawl out on pristine Caribbean beaches. The marina's luxury yachts bob alongside waterfront restaurants while the Nicupté Lagoon offers peaceful kayaking adventures away from the beach crowds. Hotels here range from high-end resorts to boutique properties with beachfront access and infinity pools. Getting around is a breeze with buses running every 10-15 minutes along Boulevard Kukulcán or you can rent a golf cart for shorter trips. Most venues stay open from late morning until midnight, perfect for dining on fresh ceviche or sipping craft cocktails.

Dining options range from authentic taquerias serving cochinita pibil to tourist-friendly spots with fresh ceviche. Mid-range hotels and business lodges provide comfortable bases for exploration, while frequent buses and abundant taxis make getting around a breeze.

Hyatt Ziva Cancun All Inclusive

Hyatt Ziva Cancun All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"It is an all-inclusive property. But anything not included is much more expensive than in US. I had a food poison after eating the sushi in the buffet. When I called the front desk for help I was told the on site doctor would charge 150 dollars per visit and 30 more if you want the doctor come to see you in your room. All the food and drinks I took was inside the property and I have to pay myself for their negligence on the food safety. On the hand this property is kids friendly. They have separate play area for kids in the lobby and buffet restaurant. The kids club also have daily activities prepared for little ones."

Moon Palace Cancun - All-Inclusive

Moon Palace Cancun - All-Inclusive

8/10 Good

"We had an excellent time staying at the moon palace. The staff is the friendliest that I have encountered in a long time. The property is very large. We had a room that required a golf cart to get around, but it was beautiful seeing all areas of the property. They have a wonderful golf course, three different hotels. If we were to go back, I would stay at the Grad hotel, which is the newer property. The staff was kind enough to grant us a two day guest pass to that location and it was extremely nice. This property is also extremely friendly for families. Since it was just my wife and I, we would likely come back with family and friends that have kids.If we book again to this location, we will stay at the grand. The only part that is a little bummer is that there is so much sea weed up and down the coast. This hotel does its best to keep the beaches clean, but there is a lot of sea weed in the water. My understanding is that this is seasonal, and there are certain areas up and down the coastline that have very heavy amounts of it, and some areas are more clean of it. Overall, very nice hotel, great amenities, and excellent friendly staff!"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Cancun

Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Cancun is from September to November, when hotel prices are lower. A stay of at least 4 to 5 days is recommended for experiencing the essential landmarks and cultural attractions of this vibrant destination. During your visit, you can enjoy the stunning beaches, indulge in local dining, explore ancient ruins, and partake in budget-friendly excursions like snorkelling and swimming. This timeframe offers great value for money, allowing you to relax and immerse yourself in the rich history and entertainment options that Cancun has to offer.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Cancun, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute DealsOpens in a new window sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. It's also wise to enable email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to remain updated on flash sales and special last-minute offers, increasing your chances of saving. Additionally, the Smart ShoppingOpens in a new window feature within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're informed when prices drop or rooms become available, making it easier to secure a spontaneous getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Cancun hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we will suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you to secure the best deal possible.
Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Cancun's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money available. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
