LODGING
CANCÚN With over 20,000 hotel
rooms, Cancún is the largest resort in Mexico, and one
of the largest in the world. Visitors wanting to avoid
Cancun’s commercial clamor should consider staying
at island’s southern region – no shopping
malls, beaches are less crowded, and auto/but traffic is
less congested. Guests looking to be close to
Cancun’s assorted dining/shopping should opt for
properties further north around the Punta Cancún area
(see map). Wondering what the beach
is like at your hotel? Check out www.cancunmx.com. It has recent beachfront
photos of over 70 hotels plus reader comments and lots of
other helpful details. Because of the volume of
Gran Turismo properties (Mexico’s highest ranking),
certain amenities that are common to all Gran Turismo
hotels (there are 20 hotels and 7,000 hotel rooms in this
category alone!) will be mentioned now, and not repeated
in the actual hotel descriptions. Gran Turismo amenities

aditional Mayan cuisine Cancún offers a
truly dazzling assortment of dining options. There are
over 400 restaurants. Settings range from fast-food to
casual bistros, to elegant, themed surroundings. Overall,
dinning in town tends to be lees expensive than dining
the resort zone. Many hotels have excellent restaurants
And offer cuisines of enormous variety. A recent wave of
competition (hotel restarants competing eith non-hotel
eateries) has brought down dining prices. Fast food
outlets are plentiful, although prices are higher than
back home.
