While most of Cancun’s all-inclusive accommodation offer everything a guest would need while on holiday, visitors can get a dose of culture by exploring the region’s Mayan museums and archaeological zones.

The Isla Mujeres is a little slice of paradise off the coast of Cancun, where guests can get away from it all at hotels like the Isla Mujeres Palace Couples Only Resort and Icaco Island Village.

Named after a Mayan archaeological site, Xcaret Park is a theme park 47 mi south of Cancun on the Riviera Maya. Guests can stay at the exquisite Occidental at Xcaret Destination resort or choose from dozens of accommodation in nearby Playa del Carmen.
