Descend on the gorgeous resort of Cancún on the Yucatan Peninsula and you may never want to leave. Often called the Mexican Caribbean, this fourteen miles of fabulous resorts and pristine beaches is a place to relax under the hot Mexican sun, enjoy countless water sports in the turquoise Caribbean, party the night away at countless nightclubs, or visit world-renowned archeological sites. Cancún is the gateway to El Mundo Maya (Mayan World) and a short distance away from the majestic Mayan ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza, and other equally gorgeous destinations such as Xcaret, Xel Ha, Isla Mujeres, and the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. The hotel zone is full of all-inclusive resorts, which will cater to most of your needs; but to experience the "real" Mexico, take a short ride on the bus to the Downtown Cancún, which is home to "authentic" restaurants, shops, clubs, and markets. The choices on offer at Cancún are truly amazing; hands-down it is perhaps one of the ultimate destinations along the Caribbean, if not all of Mexico.
