Top 6 Things to do in Cancun, Mexico

October 3, 2017 Brain Ambrose

Sunny Cancun has much more to offer than its party-town reputation might suggest. Plenty of gorgeous, drama-free family resorts cater to folks who want to experience the tropical Yucatan climate. There are significant Mayan ruins here, such as El Rey and the Yamil Lu’um, a crumbling tower of pale gray stone. Learn more about this ancient civilization at the Museo Maya de Cancun. For a literal taste of Mexico, take a tour of the Museo Sensorial del Tequila.

Parroquia de Cristo Resucitado

Reviewed By dmount2001 - Burlington, Vermont

Went to the English mass at 9 AM. Parking is easy but you enter around the back. They are controlling access so that only people going to the church park in their lot. The church is different. It is semi outdoors with a giant statue...MoreHello, thank you for visit your church and for write your lovely comments. God bless you!

Playa Delfines

Reviewed By Robert L - Amherst, Massachusetts

This beach is right in the middle of the hotel zone, right off the main highway, with a small parking lot right across the street. Nice wide sandy beach with many Palapas bit no lounge chairs. In the middle of the day, when the sun is out, the water just glows tourqoise.

Tres Rios Ecopark

This park, only 30 minutes away from the craziness of Cancun, offers horseback rides along the coast. ** NOTE: To best satisfy the needs and preferences of our visitors Tres Rios Ecopark is now temporarily closed as major improvements are underway, the park will re-open for the 2007 summer season.**

This is our second stay at Tres Rios and both have been wonderful. We had great service from all staff. The food was great and there are many activities you can take part in. We had super waiters at all venues. Special staff members were Carmen our maid, Royalton who took us on a snorkel tour of the cenote, waiters Joaquin, Meseos, Nathaly, Valentino and Antonio. I did ceramic painting with Juan, who is fabulous. Andy and Ana our Conceriege ladies were wonderful as were our Butlers. All in all it was a super stay.

Avenida Kukulkan

Reviewed By Ramsdalen - Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom

This is the main avenue through the hotel and restaurant zone. There are good walkways for the active persons and there is a 24hr bus service along avenue. Nothing much else apart from souvenir shops. Shopping malls along the Avenue are either half closed or half empty units

Playa Marlin

Lounge on the smooth, white, broad stretch of sand of this beach while gazing at the often rugged surf.

Reviewed By RoverPete - Chalfont St. Giles, United Kingdom

Beautiful beach, soft white sand and azure blue waters! There appears to be strong under currents which can drag you quickly out to sea. Watched lifeguard do a brave and fabulous job going into the sea and saving 3 men who got into difficulty. Only took a few seconds to drag the guys out 200 yards. Those not confident swimmers should keep to ankle deep. Lack of bars, shops and restaurants disappointing - but the beautiful beach made up for it!
