Best Beach Holidays - Cancun, Mexico

Hotel Accommodation Near Best Cancun Beaches

Cancun may be a young city, but it's sure getting overcrowded near accommodation along the best beaches of Mexico that only 30 years ago were a deserted sand spit.

The good news is, you can still find pure white beaches without too many people, despite the brash and always colourful metropolis that's sprung up in this Mexican best beach location.

Cancun is a long, narrow island connected to the mainland by two bridges, with everything you're looking for from five-star accommodation near the beach, to small romantic islands.

And that's the beauty of Cancun.  All types of people are attracted by one thing - the beautiful white sandy beaches.

Cancun is Mexico's most popular resort town, gently kissed by the warm crystal waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Cancun best beach holiday near resort accommodation

Most resort and hotel accommodation is located in what's known as The Hotel Zone, which is big and brash and right beside the beautiful beach.  The only main thoroughfare through town is Kukulcan Boulevard with all the accommodation near it, but if you want to see how the locals live and keep some weight in your wallet, go to nearby "Cancun Centro", where you can experience the real Mexican way of life.

Cancun Centro is where most of the Mexican workers reside, and it's a happy, vibrant downtown area where you'll be immersed in that wonderful Latin way of life.  Arriba!

Now for our best beach holiday in Cancun.  Try a rustic, luxury hideaway called the "Maroma Resort and Spa" on one of Cancun's beautiful beaches a little away from the crowded central resort area.  Maroma used to be a 500 acre coconut plantation and is built in the traditional Mexican hacienda style, with smiling attentive staff who will happily cater to your every whim.

The unspoiled beach in front of Maroma is really one of the best beaches in the world. You just won't want to leave.  Fine, white sandy beaches with swaying palms and warm sunshine guaranteed to de-stress almost anyone within a day.

This yummy Yucatan coastline also has the world's second longest barrier reef with outstanding snorkelling and scuba diving.

For a daytrip, take a boat from near your beachfront accommodation to one of the many small deserted islands just off the Yucatan coast, or take a tour to the many impressive nearby Mayan ruins from centuries ago.

And what's so surreal about Cancun is that just near the beautiful beaches is a small bullring downtown, in Plaza de Toros. 

It sounds strange to go from the laidback "maniana" atmosphere on the beach to a bullfight, which takes place every Wednesday afternoon.  No bull!

But this is such a diverse beach destination that you can live a Robinson Crusoe way of life without even crossing paths with the other frenetic Mexican lifestyles.

Cancun is one of the world's best beach holidays on what's known as the "Mayan Riviera".
