Cancun boasts a superb location, a year-round mild climate and gorgeous, warm, sandy white beaches washed by the Caribbean Sea. Its waters, sheltered by Isla Mujeres, are calm and perfect for surfing, sailing, diving and boat trips; those facing the open surf have stronger currents but are also suitable for fishing and snorkeling.

Cancun's famous hotels combine luxury and comfort with hospitality and offer access to tennis, golf and spas. Nightlife in Cancun's hotel zone is extremely varied. You will find some of the largest discos in the world, restaurants with some of the world's most famous chefs, as well as fast-food outlets. If you are looking for a calmer atmosphere, there are jazz and piano bars, and those offering traditional mariachi music as well.

Cancun is home to fascinating Mayan ruins, and a museum displaying pieces from this ancient culture. Tours can be arranged beforehand to Quintana Roo and the neighboring Yucatan, two of the most impressive places in the Mayan world.
