Cancún hotel zone beach penthouse w/terrace 2805
Excellent accommodation, the view is amazing. From the amenities, everything you need to make you feel at home, from the kitchen to the bathroom and more. I would definitely be back!

Breathtaking studio, w/ocean & lagoon views
Okay: * Location, amenities and utensils in general * Very agile check-in and check-out process. * Room size and habitability (even if the view is partial to the sea). * Communication with Diego and willingness to help very remarkable! * Overall, the studio is nice and does the job, the bed and pillows are very comfortable, you can rest very well! * I really applaud that they are 100% pet friendly! Thank you for staying up to date and serving guests with this need and taste! To improve: * Air conditioning cannot be regulated * Hot water takes a long time to come out (a lot of water is wasted because of it) * Outside noise in general (for sensitive people, it can be difficult to sleep because you can hear cars on the avenue and some fans that work 24 hours a day). It didn't affect me, but it's something to consider. * The dryer, blender, stove, refrigerator and a/c already require maintenance or renovation. * The insistence of vendors * The cost of the daypass or breakfast pass is very expensive, I did not use it.

Cancun Private Pool -Beach Front - Hotel Zone
This place was great. I was there with 12 of my best friends and everything worked out perfect staying at Daniel’s place; the house was a great size and the location was very convenient! We enjoyed being right on the beach, and the pool at the house was perfect for what we wanted. Highly recommend!

Downtown Cancun apartment with Cocktail Pool
very cosy place close to everything you need in cancun. the little dogs were so cute and friendly. the place was nice and clean. Will definitely return when I'm in cancun!

Spectacular beachfront and beach access
We were warmly welcomed and attended to at all times. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The view was exceptional at all times, and the beach was extraordinary. The area is very safe and peaceful. There’s a bus stop close to the house, with buses passing by frequently—public transportation is excellent. Also nearby is the dock that can take you to Isla Mujeres, another beautiful beach. There are also small markets and places to eat close to the house. I highly recommend this home and definitely plan to return.

HOTEL ZONE - Beachfront Studio 215
Excellent location, excellent place to take children. I really liked the hosts. They always responded very quickly and were always very attentive.

Studio in the heart of Cancun's hotel area.
We had a pleasant stay

Cancun ECO- apartment & swimming pool
The apartment's location was super central, for the ADO center and the hotel zone, there were supermarkets (Soriana, Walmart, Chedraui, Costco) about 20 minutes away on foot. As for the apartment, it was clean and cool upon arrival, since they had turned on the air conditioning in the master bedroom, which works very well to cool the apartment. Gaby, who was our host, was attentive to everything, and answered our questions super quickly. In short, we had a great stay 10/10

Casa Camacho - 3BR 3.5BA Villa w/ Private Rooftop
The house was amazing! Had everything we needed and more. It was very peaceful there not much noise from the road. The roof top was a hit! I highly recommend. Joshua was very responsive when I needed something as well.

Wowriva301 Spectacular View Location Dream 3 BR
Mami's place is great. Very spacious and comfortable. It has everything you need to have a pleasant stay. Even beach chairs in case you want to go to a nearby beach. Everything was impeccable and there were even courtesies in the refrigerator, which I think is a beautiful detail that not all hosts have.

ℂ𝕒𝕤𝕒 𝔹𝕒𝕣𝕓𝕚𝕖. Private Plunge Pool! Fast Wifi!
This is Top 5 Airbnbs I've stayed in! Pablo was there for check-in and did a walkthrough, which was very helpful! There are a *ton* of amenities so it was nice to be made aware of everything. They've really thought of everything from the renter's perspective and what could be needed, top tier! It's in a private location so I felt very safe and it was very peaceful, both inside and out. I stayed on the bottom floor and didn't hear a peep from the person staying on the top. I entered my Bad Back era a few years ago and dread sleeping in any bed but my own but this was beyond comfortable and supportive, I slept like a rock every night! Julius and Pablo are beyond hospitable, beyond accommodating and understanding, I highly highly recommend this space!

360' Wonderful View private PH
This was easily one of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in—hands down. The views of the ocean were absolutely breathtaking, and the sound of the waves from the large private balcony (with a hammock!) made it feel like paradise, we woke up early every morning just to watch the sunrise over the waves it was magical. The stylish decor, everything clean, two bathrooms, and thoughtful touches made us feel like we could live there. Carmen was an amazing host—super responsive and helpful. The gated community felt incredibly safe, the on-site restaurant/bar had delicious food and drinks, and the infinity pool was the cherry on top. The beach is also right there, you truly never have to leave the property. The pictures don’t do it justice—if you’re considering booking, this is the place. No hesitation!

NEW! Sotavento stunning POOL&OCEAN view 1bdr condo
I had a fantastic stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was welcoming and responsive, making everything easy and stress-free. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Beautiful Oceanfront Penthouse-Style Condo
Excellent stay, nice place and good location in the hotel zone, the ocean view is beautiful. The apartment is spacious and quiet, the amenities are more than enough for a pleasant stay... The apartment is exactly as shown in the photos... Miriam was always attentive to any of our questions… an excellent host.

Beachfront Studio! Amazing view!
The apartment is wonderful, extremely organized and clean! Super complete as described! The location is perfect, super close to the main area of restaurants, parties and the beach, there is plenty to do in the region. Abril is a great host, she helped us a lot with information and responded quickly! It was an amazing experience, I highly recommend the apartment!

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.
