Beautiful hotel with ocean views & a cabana-lined pool — basically the definition of ‘paradise.’

Every room has a view of the azure tropical waters – even better from the sun-kissed balcony.

Sand, sand and more soft white sand. All yours.

A sprawling good time along some of the best-known, most-fun sands in this festive, fiesta-laden land. This one, of course, has that water park, too.

Killer beachfront escape, equipped with the works, from the posh Royal Spa to the Level 18 – Rooftop Cabana Loung.

Adults-only, all-inclusive resort with hopping entertainment and an energetic vibe.

Perfect location on the beach in Cancun's famed Zona Hotelera.

Chic rooms rock Italian porcelain floors and teak wood furnishings, custom headboards, a terrace or balcony and luxe white glass bathrooms.

Hear that? Wind, waves: the sound of being blissfully apart from the Cancun party scene.

Beach on one side, prime shopping on the other — yep, we're good here.

Pretty views of majestic Mujeres Bay.

Afraid you might forget you're right on the water? The hotel has direct access to the beach.

Eclectic modern style with a laid-back beachy vibe. Hit the world-famous party zone, or keep it low-key in the onsite screening room.

Enormous family-friendly complex surrounded by palm tree-festooned grounds, and set on a gorgeous stretch of beach.

Ace Mexican fare at both Inizio and the poolside bar. Also an option: whipping up something creative in your in-room kitchen.

Perfect the art of back-stroking-it to the swim-up bar and ordering without ever lifting your head out of the water. (Immmmpressive.)
