Overlooking the Caribbean Sea and Nichupte Lagoon, only steps from the beach,
Krystal Grand Punta Cancun offers a bi-level outdoor pool, private white sandy
beach and full-service spa.
The hotel features guestrooms with flat-screen TVs and MP3 docking stations.
Guests also enjoy a private balcony with views of the city or ocean, as well as 24hour room service.
Cancun is a tale of two cities. There's the glitzy hotel zone with its famous whitesand beaches, unabashed party scene and sophisticated seafood restaurants. Then
there's the actual city itself, which gives you a taste of local flavor at, say, a
neighborhood taco joint or a nearby, undeveloped beach.
That's what keeps Cancun interesting. Had your fill of raucous discos in the hotel
zone? Escape to a downtown salsa club. Tired of lounging around the pool in
Ciudad Cancun? Simply hop on a bus and head for the sapphire waters of the hotel
zone.
Or even better, venture out and explore more of Quintana Roo state. Just a day trip
away from Cancun, the pristine national park of Isla Contoy beckons with a
fascinating variety of bird and plant species. And up north awaits low-key Isla
Holbox, where swimming with massive whale sharks has become all the rage.

Without question, one of the main attractions for
those who choose to visit Cancun is the beach.
Many visitors are content to stay at their resort
beach…relaxing
under
their
personal
palapa,
having drinks delivered to them, and using
the many other amenities available.
While that does sound pretty good, there are
some who prefer to move around and see what
other great beaches there are to be found!
Resorts in the hotel zone are strung all along the
giant
“7”
shaped
peninsula,
with
gorgeous
beaches on the northern and eastern coasts. If
you feel like exploring, all the beaches are public,
and you’ll see lifeguard stations periodically. You
can walk the shoreline in either direction for
hours!
Chichen Itza is by far the most impressive Mayan
ruins site in the region. It was voted one of the
New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. If you
only have time to take one sightseeing excursion
while on vacation, visit Chichen Itza. You'll not
only learn a bit about the Mayan people and
Mexican history, but you'll see a cenote where
human sacrifices were performed and stare in awe
when you see the massive structures that were
built with only manpower and crude tools. Bring
water, sunscreen, lightweight clothing and a hat.
It's hot out there in the jungle!
Another popular Mayan ruin site, Tulum is located
a bit closer to Cancun than Chichen Itza, roughly
2 hours south. This is a smaller site and can be
seen in about an hour but it's worth the trip
simply for the breathtaking views. The Mayans
knew good real estate when they saw it and the
main pyramid of Tulum sits on a cliff above an
amazing beach. Once a major port for the Mayan
empire, the ruins site is the main attraction of the
growing town. Tulum also boasts a downtown
area (Tulum pueblo).
If you are looking for spectacular virgin beaches,
look no further than the Sian Kaan Biosphere
Reserve, A UNESCO World Heritage Site located
south of Tulum, which includes more than a
million
acres,
numerous
habitats
and
23
archaeological sites, some of which date back
2300 years. There are very few beaches here with
"parking lots". Access to most beaches is though
an opening in the jungle. To see more of the
astounding beauty of the area, take a tour or
arrange a fishing trip.
Aquaworld Cancun is a PADI Dive Center and
teaches scuba classes, but it also happens to be
one of the largest and most reputable companies
for fishing excursions, dive trips, and other
watersports
& activities, like swimming with
dolphins. Day trips to nearby Isla Mujeres are very
popular and fun. During the summer months,
when whale sharks migrate to the waters north of
Cancun, Aquaworld offers tours to swim with
these gentle giants in the open sea. The Skyrider,
Aquaworld's version of parasailing, is another
enjoyable, once-in-a-lifetime activity that you can
try while in Cancun. Traveling with kids? The Sub
See Explorer is perfect for little ones or nonswimmers.
This eco-park part of the Experiencias Xcaret
family (Xcaret, Xplor, Xenotes, Xenses, Xoximilco).
Xel-Ha boasts the "largest, most beautiful natural
aquarium in the world". You can swim in grottos
& cenotes (natural sinkholes) and see local sea
life, explore Mayan ruins, jump off the Stone of
Courage, cross the floating bridge, ride bikes or
fly kites. There are plenty of other activities and
exhibits to keep you occupied for the entire day
or you can simply spend your time relaxing in the
sun or napping in a seaside hammock.
Xochimilco is a popular tourist attraction in
central
Mexico,
and
Experiencias
Xcaret
has
created its own version in Cancun. Visitors enjoy
the best of Mexican cuisine, music and culture
while riding on "trajineras", colorfully decorated
gondola-like boats. All courses and aguas frescas
(fresh fruit drinks), beer, tequila and soft drinks
are
included.
The
tour
culminates
with
all
trajineras gathering together for a lively party.
This is a fun, one-of-a kind tour that highlights
the best that Mexico has to offer.
This eco-archaeological park is filled with Mexican
and Mayan flavor, color, music and culture.
There’s a butterfly pavilion and places to see
flamingos, manatees, spider monkeys, and jaguars.
If that's not enough, you can also swim with
dolphins, float down
a lazy river, swim in
underground rivers, climb a small Mayan ruin, visit
the aquarium or relax on the beach.
Xplor is a natural eco adventure park located in
the Riviera Maya, just south of Playa del Carmen.
Activities include 14 zip lines, amphibious vehicles,
and underground rivers that feature amazing
stalactites and stalagmites created over millions of
years. Recover from all the action in the buffet
restaurant which features international favorites or
the
snacks
bar
which
serve
yummy
juices,
smoothies and cookies. Xplor is the place to find
safe adventure in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and
the Riviera Maya.
Just a 15 minute boat ride to get to one Cancun’s
most
popular
day
trip
destinations.
Dreamy
beaches and laid back island mood! You can book
a tour with one of several companies who provide
lunch and drinks. Or catch a water taxi or ferry to
this tropical island paradise. The downtown area is
a charming mix of shops and restaurants. Rent a
golf cart, circle the island and visit Punta Sur, the
easternmost point of the country of Mexico.
