The Cancun tourist zone is located on a sandy peninsula a little off the mainland, and it is now connected to the mainland at both ends, leaving a lagoon between. The airport is located on the mainland, near the South end of the peninsula. The Isla Mujeres is an island just off the coast of Cancun that features laid-back hotels and resorts, most of then are all inclusive. Cancun offers calm, peaceful days to enjoy the sun and the sand, the indigo seas, romantic Caribbean nights, world class hotels, restaurants, and nightlife. There is more varied nightlife in Cancun than most other Mexican cities. A little more than twenty years ago, Cancun was the Mayan name of a little town located on a stretch of sun-drenched land on the northeastern tip of the Yucatan peninsula. Now it has become a resort where you can keep busy 24 hours a day with all the activities and tours available but still relax to your heart's content. Cancun is a resort for everybody, from college students on a reduced budget to the rich and famous from all over the world. The city caters to all who visit. Cancun is definitely Mexico's showcase resort. Few resorts in the world have the infrastructure and amenities that were built into Cancun from the beginning, which is one of the reasons why Cancun is Mexico's most popular vacation spot. Most hotels offer all-inclusive stays and some offer modified all-inclusive, where some meals are offered, giving you the chance to eat out for one meal per day. The beaches are probably one of the main reasons for your visit. The powdery, incredibly white sand of the Caribbean lines all of the beaches in Cancun. The water of the Caribbean Sea is unusually warm with incredibly blue water and, most of the times, is very calm. Take a look at any beach, at almost any time of the day and you will see people enjoying the water at the beaches. Topless bathing is an activity that is quietly accepted in Cancun and many of the surrounding areas along the Mayan Rivera. Total nudity is rare (as well as illegal), especially on the major beaches. The Hotel Zone is the area of Cancun where the majority of hotels and condos are located. Kukulcan Boulevard is the main thoroughfare along this stretch and it's a name that you will become familiar with as you travel around Cancun. On the inland side of Cancun lies Laguna Nichupte, a vast lagoon that serves as home to numerous marinas, waterfront restaurants, shopping malls, a couple of golf courses, a few islands, inlets and some fantastic sunsets. There is an area near the center of all this which is known as the Party Zone which is home to many of the areas nightclubs and discos, some of Cancun's better restaurants, and upper-end shopping malls. Use our reservation service to find or reserve any hotel and resort in Cancun, Isla Mujeres or Isla Holbox. Downtown Cancun is located on the mainland near the North end of the peninsula. It is a pleasant zone with some great restaurants, modern shopping facilities and it's an alternative to all of glitz that surrounds the tourist zone. Prices are a lot more reasonable, and your wallet will certainly appreciate your visit Downtown. |
