Cancun Hotels and Resorts

Cancun is at the top of list as a spring break destination for thousands of students from the United States that converge on this tropical destination for a week of hardcore partying.

For the other fifty-one weeks of the year, Cancun on the Caribbean shore of the Yucatan peninsula, is Mexicos’ most popular tourist destination. It is an internationally, preferred vacation spot and hosts nearly two hundred flights daily at Mexico’s second busiest airport.

Previously being home to only a handful of caretakers for a resident coconut plantation, modern Cancun arose from a master plan by the Banco de Mexico and through long and extensive research was chosen as the best area for tourist development. The construction of the first hotels was started in 1970 and now nearly 150 hotels and 300 restaurants offer ultra-luxury accommodations to international clientele.

Room rates run from $209.00 per night and going up with the presidential suite going for $5500.00. The luxurious accommodations include cable TV, minibars, internet access and in room massages.

Sculpted outdoor swimming pools, a private air-conditioned beach club, a full service spa and health club and a business center compliment the hotel. The Ritz’s six restaurants offer the guests an amazing array of gourmet cuisine with such entrees as Roast ducks in chipotle sauce, lobster thermador and Mexican buffets. Tropical drinks are a specialty and the hotels’ wine list will please even the most discriminating connoisseur. The culinary center allows guests to change their bathing suits for aprons and work side by side with international chefs preparing world class cuisine.
