There are accommodation options for every budget in Cancun, from hostels to luxury resorts, and choices for every type of traveller, from solo travellers to couples to families. Hotel rooms in Cancun and the Mexican Caribbean have grown by over 30% since 2016, as reported by an online news portal.

Cancun is set on the Caribbean coast of Mexico (also known as the Riviera Maya) and has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. With over 14 miles of beautiful beaches, Cancun also boasts of tons of activities from watersports to renting jet-skis to parasailing.

One of the biggest keys to Cancun’s popularity is its well-connected airport which receives more than 500 flights a day. As of this summer, 38 cities in the United States flew nonstop to Cancun.
