Silky white sand beaches. Sparkling turquoise waters. Opulent hotels and resorts. Dusk until dawn nightlife. No wonder Cancun has become the most popular destination for Canadian sun-seekers.
Explore the mysteries of the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza or Tulum. Have fun with the kids at the Xei-Ha eco theme park. Ride a zip line through the trees on a jungle tour. Catch the bohemian vibe of artistic Playa del Carmen. Grab the ferry to Cozumel and experience some of the best scuba diving and snorkeling anywhere.
Families like the calmer north shore because it's ideal for swimming while beach aficionados prefer the stretch towards the south end. However, most visitors choose something along the long stretch of beach in between. These hotels face directly onto the beautiful blue Caribbean Sea and are closer to restaurants and clubs.
With daily flights throughout most of the year, Cancun is easy to get to and you're not restricted to 7-night packages. And remember that Cancun is a popular honeymoon destination so Sunday departures to high-end resorts can sell out early.
