• Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach: Even among Cancún’s plethora of luxury resorts, this recently remodeled beauty stands out, with gleaming marble, serene sand-and-sea hues, a multi-tiered cascading pool that goes on forever, and the most expansive panorama of land and sea on the island.
  • Beachscape Villas Kin-Ha: Breaking up a line of massive high-rises, this cluster of low buildings set among palms and broad lawns offers resort-level services and amenities in a down-to-earth atmosphere at surprisingly low rates. With a perch on one of Cancún’s finest beaches, it’s the best value in town.
  • Marriott CasaMagna: Acres of marble, classic columns, and crystal chandeliers aplenty attest to this family-oriented hotel’s kinship with the adjacent JW Marriott, though it is warmer and more informal than its sumptuous, pricey sibling—and it goes all-out to cater to kids.
