Luxury Stay

Ritz-Carlton resorts are infamous for being some of the top-rated lodging choices in many areas, the Ritz-Carlton, Cancun is no different. It's featured on both the Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure lists, as well as exceptionally rated by Frommer's. The resort offers just under 400 rooms and suites, a spa, six dining choices, a culinary center and tennis center. There is so much to do, there really is no reason to even leave this resort. Room amenities are just as extravagant as the rest of the resort and the beach is over 1,000 feet of "white sand." This is the place to stay for a vacation filled with luxury and comfort.

Affordable Stay

For a budget stay in Cancun, try the Hotel Hacienda. Rates are all under $100 USD per room with two adults. The downtown location can't be beat, close to many restaurants, shopping areas and entertainment and the staff if "friendly and efficient." The rooms are simple, the amenities basic, but with the low rates and excellent location, it's a family-friendly option that can't be passed up.
