Cancun is the ideal place to enjoy sun and beach, and offers extensive shopping opportunities and a world famous nightlife. Cancun also is the optimal start point for you to explore tropical coral reefs and jungles and archaeological sites of the old Mayan world.

Cancun History

If you are searching for calm, peaceful days to enjoy the sun and the sand, the crystal indigo seas, romantic Caribbean nights, world class hotels, restaurants and nightlife; you are thinking about Cancun vacations !

Little more than twenty years ago, Cancun was just a Mayan name, a deserted sun drenched piece of land of the northeast tip of the Yucatan peninsula. Now is a resort where you could keep busy 24 hours a day just participating in the many activities and tours available, and yet it remains a tranquil retreat where you could relax to your hearts content.

In your Cancun vacations you can literally choose a pace and lifestyle to suit any frame of mind, from ultra chic to funky laidback beach bum. Cancun is a resort for everybody, from college students on a strict budget to the rich and famous from all over the world. Cancun caters to all who visit and everyone should experience Cancun at least once.

Cancun is definitely Mexico's showcase resort. Few resorts in the world have the infrastructure and amenities that were built into Cancun from the beginning. This is one of the reasons that Cancun is Mexico's most popular resort.

Cancun's Beaches

The beaches are probably one of the main reasons for your visit. The powdery, incredibly white sand of the Caribbean blesses all of the beaches in Cancun. The Caribbean Sea is unusually warm with incredibly blue water and at most times is very calm. Look down any beach, at almost any time, and you will see people enjoying the calming effects that seem to instantly relieve the tensions of everyday life.

Topless bathing is an activity that is quietly accepted in Cancun and many of the surrounding areas along the Mayan Rivera. Total nudity is rare (as well as illegal), especially on the major beaches

Hotel Zone

The Hotel Zone is the area of Cancun where it all comes together for most visitors. Hotels and beachfront condominiums line the beaches and serve as the nearly uninterrupted backdrop along this stretch of incredible Caribbean coastline. Kukulcan Blvd. is the main thoroughfare and is a name that you will become familiar with in your travels around Cancun. On the inland side of Cancun is Laguna Nichupte, a vast lagoon that serves as home to numerous marinas, water front restaurants, shopping malls, a couple of golf courses, a few islands and inlets and some fantastic sunsets. There is an area near the center of all this which is known as the Party Zone which is home to many of the areas nightclubs and discos. The very same area is also home to some of Cancun's better restaurants and one of the nicer shopping malls.

Downtown Cancun

Cancun Downtown is a pleasant zone with some great restaurants, modern shopping facilities and is a semi peaceful diversion to all of glitz and hype that surrounds the tourist zone. Your wallet will appreciate your visit to Downtown, as the money contained there in will certainly go farther, as prices for almost everything are more reasonable in the city.
