Very safe neighborhood. Definitely would stay here again. The kayaks and paddle boards were greatly appreciated by the host! Thank you!

4.82 out of 5 average rating, 144 reviewsBeach & City studio apartments
If you are looking to visit Cancun and just be close to the hotel zone and clubs...this is it! We went for a girls trip and it was small and not super luxurious, but we loved the proximity of everything! The beach is right behind it and it is BEAUTIFUL! We were hardly there as we were out doing adventures...its definitely not resort style, but it was super good price for location and beach and how responsive and helpful the host was. The condos have a pool area that is nice! If you don't mind a small space, this is a good spot! I personally would stay here again!

The host met us upon arrival with the keys and gave us a quick yet thorough tour. The unit looks exactly like the pictures. Both the unit and the outside/ pool area was very clean. The location is safe and quiet. Had to extend our stay and it was no problem to do that. Host was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommend Maximiliano's place!!!

This was more than we expected! His home was fabulous, communication was immediate, restaurants and entertainment were either walkable or easily accessible.

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 309 reviews🌴Casa Zoe, beautiful and a few minutes walk to the sea.
My stay at this place was brief, only one night, but very pleasant. The access to the house was just as Sabine indicated, with clear and precise instructions. The house is spacious, with comfortable rooms, and has both outdoor and indoor parking. The interior space was perfect for storing a Chevrolet Tracker with some dexterity behind the wheel. Also, we really appreciate the little details, such as the cleaning supplies (shampoo, soap) and the facilities for making coffee, tea, etc. that are greatly appreciated after a long trip. For value, I definitely recommend this place.

5 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviewsNew to the Rental Market - 2 Pools - Spectacular!
Beautiful home, right on the beach! The space is gorgeous and well maintained. The AC worked very well. The customer service is what really stood out, though. The concierge was truly unparalleled. I’ve never experienced an Airbnb with a host and staff like this. Anything we needed, they arranged! Taxis? Booked. Reservations? Made. Want to charter a boat? Done. Want a private chef to come cook dinner? He’ll be there at 7pm. It was phenomenal.

Loved it here. Your bed faces the ocean. The house is walking distance to the ferry. The AC is cold. There are plenty of towels. The only minor complaint is that only the sink water in the bathroom gets hot, not the shower, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker.

This property is located in a convenient area, few minutes from the main areas in Cancun (Mall, restaurants, clubs). Overall the home was clean and provided plenty of space for our group of 7. The pool is nice and has plenty of outdoor seating to where one can relax. Recommend this property for anyone that wants to visit Cancun and stay away from big resorts.

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 104 reviewsVilla Mayakita Akua ocean view, jacuzzi & rooftop
Can't say enough good things about our stay at Mayakita! Everyone -- from Cecilia to Beth and Jimmy -- were so incredibly helpful and kind, making us feel very welcome and accommodating any request we threw their way. The villa itself is beautiful, spacious, and very clean. We loved using the pool, especially in the evenings after long days in the sun. The food at the restaurant is out of this world, and it was so convenient to walk over and grab a meal or coffee when we wanted it. We also loved the location, on the quieter side of the island. And you really cannot beat the absolutely stunning view of the beach from every vantage point in the villa. Book this place!

This place is better than 5 stars! We felt very very comfortable here. The bed is amazing, kitchen well stocked and Gabriel is the nicest host we’ve ever come across! He let us know how to get to the place the cheapest way possible via collectivo. Costs 10 pesos and stops a 5 min walk to the house. Gabriel is the nicest guy ever! It is quite far from the beach area, but apart from that it’s perfect.

We stayed at Ivanna's villa during my sister's bachelorette party. We had an amazing time! For an additional (but reasonable) cost, we were able to have groceries delivered to the villa minutes after we arrived and a private cook prepare our meals throughout the weekend. The community is gated and security will call you a taxi, if needed. We were pleased with all the amenities and extra services. The villa was clean and looked exactly like the photos. I would highly recommend staying here.

Your guide to Cancún
All About Cancún
Located on the northeastern corner of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Cancún is an ever-popular destination for clubbers and beachcombers alike — but that’s not the whole story. Nature lovers will enjoy exploring beautiful tropical nature reserve Parque Kabah downtown, while history buffs have hundreds of fascinating Mayan exhibits to discover at Museo Maya de Cancún. Fresh fish abounds in this coastal paradise, whether it’s savored in simple fashion at thatched snack spots by the beach or five-star restaurants. Water sports are played alongside ancient ruins and archeological sites here, with Museo Subacuático de Arte (MUSA) home to an underwater sculpture museum to promote coral life. If Cancún’s water-borne activities aren’t enough, it’s easy to take a short boat ride to nearby uninhabited island Isla Contoy, which offers excellent birdwatching and hiking trails.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cancún
People flock to Cancún for its pristine, sandy beaches and festive atmosphere. The area enjoys 250 days of sunshine every year, and the balmy winter climate tempts visitors looking to escape the chill in cooler countries. The ocean is warm enough for swimming and water sports all year round, but the mercury hits its highest from December to April. Be prepared for the risk of tropical storms and even hurricanes in the fall.
For sports fans, spending a fun-filled night at the ballpark with a baseball game between March and September is another great activity Cancún has to offer. The world-famous Day of the Dead festival takes place at the end of October, as families gather to celebrate and commemorate loved ones.
Top things to do in Cancún
Parque de las Palapas
When temperatures start to dip in the evenings, head to this residential neighborhood to take in some live music and get a sense of all the tasty local street food there is to try. A quiet square by day, Parque de las Palapas fills with vendors selling homemade treats, crafts, and garments made with time-honored techniques when the sun goes down.
Marquesitas
After a long sunset stroll along the shoreline, there’s nothing better than tucking into this popular local treat. Marquesitas are made by cooking a crisp, crepe-like shell, which is filled and shaped to create a snack resembling a rolled-up waffle cone. There is chocolate and cheese in the traditional version and if you’re new to marquesitas, you just may become a convert.
Museo Subacuático de Arte (MUSA)
Originally created to protect local reefs, this underwater museum draws in aquatic aficionados with exhibits for a range of abilities, with the snorkeling-only Punta Nizuc gallery, zones perfectly set up for newcomers to diving, and a glass-bottomed boat to take in the sights without getting your feet wet.
