Top Reasons to Go to Cancún & Isla Mujeres

Top Reasons to Go to Cancún & Isla Mujeres

Cancún

Dancing the night away to salsa, mariachi, reggae, jazz, or hip-hop at one of the Zona Hotelera's many nightclubs.

Watching the parade of gorgeous suntans on the white sands of Playa Langosta.

Getting wild on the water: renting a Jet-ski, windsurfer, or kayak and skimming across Laguna Nichupté.

Nightlife in the Zona Hotelera

Browsing for Mexican crafts at the colorful stalls of Mercado Veintiocho.

Indulging in local flavor with dishes like poc chuc and drinks like tamarind margaritas.

Isla Mujeres

Getting away from the crowd. Although Isla is just 5 mi across the bay from Cancun, the peace and quiet make it seem like another universe.

Exploring the southeastern coast, where craggy cliffs meet the blue Caribbean, by bumping along in a golf cart.

Eating fresh grilled seafood under a beachfront palapa at Playa Norte.

Scuba diving the underwater caverns off Isla to see "sleeping" sharks.

Taking a boat trip to Isla Contoy, where more than 70 species of birds make their home.
