The 10 Best Hotels in Cancun of 2024

"Nizuc Resort & Spa is no stranger to our World’s Best Awards – it made the list in 2021, 2022, and 2023. This small, stylish, and sophisticated resort manages to carve out its own secluded piece of paradise despite being adjacent to the Cancun Hotel Zone. Sleek open-air architecture and its 274 modern suites and villas melt into the oceanfront and jungle surroundings. Stone tile floors, polished dark marble, natural wood, and neutral beach tones add to the tranquil vibe, and the villas with soaking tubs and plunge pools feel like a true private island escape. Six gourmet restaurants offer delicious cuisine from around the world from China to Peru to Italy, while Nizuc’s three bars serve up excellent cocktails, views, and atmosphere. Additional experiences like paella classes, hand-rolled cigars, tequila and wine tastings, spa treatments, and private tennis lessons round out your stay nicely, while daily activities like kids' club programming, snorkeling and kayaking, and live music are included. The main pool and beach are family-friendly, and there is a separate adults-only pool." - Katherine Alex Beaven Katherine Alex Beaven Katherine Alex Beaven is a Los Angeles-based travel, food and drink, and culture writer.
