Cancun Hotel Deals

Cancun is located on the Yucatan Peninsula, in the eastern section of Mexico. A Mexican vacation is usually considered an inexpensive and fun destination.

Mexico is known for its hot and balmy weather, though, hurricane season runs from June through November. Per its past history of storms, September and October seem to be the most active months for bad weather.

Many tour operators and travel companies offer special prices and packages during hurricane season to entice travelers to come for a visit. You will find that prices for Cancun are relatively low all year as compared to other tropical destinations.

There are hotels and resorts in Cancun to fit within most travel budgets. Properties range from two star through 5 star deluxe categories. If you are flexible with your travel dates, you will most likely be able to find a great deal on a wonderful hotel.

The hotel area of Cancun is shaped like the number seven. Hotels and resorts that are located on the shorter side are protected from the fierce waves and beach erosion. The water is much calmer too on that side of the strip.

If you are looking for a deluxe, five star property in Cancun, then consider the JW Marriott Resort and Spa. It offers seven restaurants and bars and has a great series of pools. It even has a twenty foot dive pool that has an artificial reef inside. There is a Marriott Kid’s Club located on site so you can escape for a spa treatment or private dinner. The spa offers facials, manicures, pedicures, massages, and many other services. The JW Marriott is designated as a AAA Five Diamond Property.

Another five star property is the Intercontinental Presidente Resort. It offers 4 restaurants and bars and is located next to a golf course for you playing pleasure.

A great way to save money is to choose one of the many all inclusive hotels and resorts that dot the landscape of Cancun. An all inclusive property will include all your meals and all your beverages (alcoholic and non alcoholic). Some even include airport transfers, entertainment and non motorized water sports. Be sure to check with all the major travel companies to find the one that is right for you and your family.

Some of the more popular all inclusive hotels and resorts are the Oasis Cancun Hotel, The Park Royal, The Royal Solaris Caribe, and the Moon Palace Golf and Spa Resort. The best way to decide upon the resort that is right for your vacation is to list what you must have and what you would like to have. If you don’t play golf, then you will find cheaper rates at a resort that does not have an onsite golf course. The same applies to a spa. If you are not looking for spa services then choose a three or four star property within your travel budget.

Luckily, you can check prices and availability online with most of the larger, more well known travel companies. Some of these are Go Go Tours, Travel Impressions, Funjet, Delta Vacations, American Airline Vacations, and Apple Vacations. Of course, you can also visit a local leisure travel agency so that you can sit down with a travel expert and have them sort through the myriad of travel packages for you.

Many novice or first time travelers choose to take cruises on their vacations. A cruise allows you to stop at many different ports of call. Cancun is a popular port of call on most of the larger cruise lines. By doing this, you can decide which destinations you would like to spend more time at for your next vacation. Cruises generally are more money than Cancun packages since alcoholic beverages and shore excursions are not included in their rates and these can quickly add up.
