Cancun boasts over 32,000 hotel rooms, offering everything from a romantic couples getaway to all-inclusive family resorts, and from high end luxury to budget hostels. Picking where to stay in Cancun ultimately comes down to what you want to prioritize for your trip. Downtown Cancun is a great bet if you want to focus on the ruins and the cultural activities. However, if your ideal Mexico vacation is about enjoying the beaches and nightlife, then the hotel zone is the place for you! Our favorite area of the hotel zone to stay in is the north end, Punta Cancun. This area offers spectacular waters and views, and is closest to the nightlife scene. Another great option to check out, if you are after more culture and charm, is Puerto Morelos.
