Cancun is one of the premier winter resort destinations in the world. It was built by the Mexican government for one purpose, attract tourists, and that it does. If you are looking for old Mexican charm, you won't find it here. But, with more than 100 hotels, you certainly can find accommodations. The permanent population is estimated at 280,000.
The dazzling white sand beaches where the sand feels relatively cool, even on hot days, attracts many thousands of tourists annually. The hotel area is actually located on a long narrow sand spit of an island, joined to the mainland by two bridges.
The crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea are full of colorful fish and other marine creatures. The reefs and islands create sheltered bays and coves where scuba diving and snorkeling are unsurpassed.
On land, trips can be arranged to nearby Mayan ruins.
