Cancun’s coastal energy
A 14-mile ocean front strip where luxury resorts and pristine beaches sit alongside restaurants, bars, shops and attractions, Cancun’s famous Hotel Zone is the place to be if you want an indulgent break that’s also in the heart of the action. Hilton Cancun Mar Caribe All-Inclusive Resort is set on 600ft of pristine white sands in the heart of the zone. Every one of the 173 rooms and suites faces out onto the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, each with a private balcony or terrace. There are 13 different pools, with dedicated family and adults-only areas, along with a state-of-the-art fitness centre and spa. The all-inclusive offering includes 12 restaurants and bars, so guests can feast on cuisines from all over the world, including Mexican, Italian, Asian and an international buffet.
Upgrade to Enclave and the luxury goes up another level, with a beach lounge and the Chala Sky Bar, where guests can enjoy four pools, all day dining and signature cocktails against a panoramic backdrop.
Away from the resort, there’s plenty more to discover. Take a sunset Caribbean cruise, indulge in some retail therapy in the local malls, soak up Mayan history and culture at The Museo Maya de Cancungo or go on a day trip to nearby Isla Mujeres — where you can soar above the turquoise waters for a thrilling ocean view. Night owls won’t want to miss legendary club Coco Bongo, and Downtown Cancun is just a few miles away, where you’ll find markets, neighbourhood restaurants and buzzy bars.
A tucked away paradise
For those wanting to get away from it all but still have Cancun’s attractions within easy reach, the five star Hilton Cancun, an All-Inclusive Resort, sits approximately 21 miles from the city’s main tourist hub. Tucked away behind a mangrove preserve, on a secluded 100 acre stretch of Mayan coastline, it combines exquisite views with first-class facilities so you can do as much — or as little — as you wish. Enjoy the vista from the two infinity pools, take a yoga class on the white-sand beach, or kayak on the warm waters. There’s a choice of stylish accommodation with sunset or sea views, including spacious family suites and ocean front rooms with private balconies and swim-up patios.
Children will love activities like pizza making and beach volleyball. For adults, there’s pool parties, live music and nightly entertainment, plus the resort can arrange moonlit dinners, mezcal tastings and beachside picnics. There are 12 dining options — including five specialty restaurants — so guests can tuck into wood fired pizzas, sushi, tacos, fresh seafood and more. All-inclusive also means unlimited drinks with pool and beachside service — yes, that’s Margaritas brought directly to your lounger.
There’s enough to keep you busy onsite, but plenty of nearby attractions are worth exploring too, including Xcaret Park, a huge natural water park and eco-archeological site where you can float down underground lazy rivers and swim in lagoons.
Take it easy in Tulum
Head south from Cancun along Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and you’ll reach Tulum, a town famous for its history, gorgeous beaches and boho vibe. Here you can discover fascinating Mayan ruins, incredible natural wonders and modern-day Mexican culture.
Hilton Tulum Riveria Maya All-Inclusive Resort offers 735 rooms and suites, and is set in a secluded bay 14 miles from Tulum’s centre, making it the perfect base to explore this special part of Mexico. It’s close to several cenotes — water-filled natural sinkholes that make for spectacular swimming spots — including the famous Cenote Dos Ojos (“Two Eyes Cenote”), twin sinkholes connected by a vast network of underwater caves. Slightly further afield but a must-see are the famous ruins of Chichen Itza, a UNESCO World Heritage site that was once a thriving city.
Back at the resort, it’s all about indulgence. There are eight pools, 13 all-inclusive bars and restaurants, a luxury fitness centre, locally-inspired spa and dedicated family areas –including a kids’ zone and club (for children and teens) with scavenger hunts and games. Got a sweet tooth? There’s unlimited ice cream, churros and snacks at the Churreria. Enclave guests get access to two exclusive pools, the Enclave lounge and a private dining area. Paradise just got even dreamier.
