Cancun is one of the most popular destinations in Mexico due to its warm turquoise waters, soft white sand and lively entertainment.
Bordering the Caribbean Sea, the city on the Yucatan Peninsula is known for its two distinct areas, Zona Hotelera: the beachfront strip with luxury hotels, shops, restaurants and nightclubs and El Centro: the more traditional downtown area.
Offering a flavor of Mayan culture from its historical sites, architecture and culinary offerings, Cancun is a coastal hotspot that must be visited during the warm summer months. If you’re lucky enough to go to this Mexican paradise in the summer, here are the top five resorts to visit.
