Cancun has always been known for its luxurious all-inclusive resorts, which offer travelers world-class service and comfort, not to mention safety.
This year, they are more popular than ever.
New statistics indicate that visitors are increasingly keen on staying at one of Cancun’s massive all-inclusives. As travel numbers soar, here’s why many tourists prefer resorts to other accommodations.
All-Inclusives Gain Popularity Among Travelers This Summer
Cancun is the most popular international destination for American and Canadian travelers this year, despite alarming travel warnings and record sargassum levels.
With millions of travelers expected to flock to Cancun this year, new figures reveal that a growing number of visitors are opting for the comfort and practicality of all-inclusive resorts.
While travelers have always opted for all-inclusives over other accommodations, such as European-style hotels, this year, the number of travelers choosing resorts is expected to increase by 10%.
Despite being home to dozens of luxurious all-inclusive resorts, Cancun’s world-class properties are reporting record occupancy rates, with most rooms sold out.
Many firms, such as Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, have reported average occupancy rates of 85% or more, sending average nightly rates skyrocketing.
Even so, travelers can’t seem to get enough of Cancun’s world-class all-inclusive resorts, which will continue to outpace other accommodations in popularity this year.

Here’s Why Travelers Love Cancun’s All-Inclusives
With growing concern over safety and sargassum, all-inclusive resorts provide the perfect venue for a relaxing and hassle-free getaway.
Aside from offering travelers a safe place to stay, featuring around-the-the-clock security and police protection, all-inclusive resorts are also packed with fun amenities, both inside and out.

Sargassum, which ranks as one of the main concerns facing travelers this year, isn’t an issue in Cancun’s massive all-inclusives, which usually offer at least several outdoor pools and even water parks.
Many are also famous for their pampering spas, which offer a relaxing experience that is perfect for couples.
While generally more expensive than other accommodations, all-inclusives can be a great deal for budget-conscious travelers thanks to the range of perks they offer.
From food and drink to entertainment, guests can spend the day relaxing by the pool without having to worry about where to eat.
When it comes to entertainment, all-inclusives offer daily shows and performances, meaning guests don’t have to opt for costly tours or excursions.
A growing number of famous Cancun properties also offer a taste of local culture; after all, Cancun and the Mexican Caribbean are renowned for their Mayan heritage, not to mention some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
One of the latest firms to offer tailor-made culture and nature packages is Paradisus, which is offering spiritual excursions that combine Cancun’s cenotes with mindfulness and yoga.
Cancun To Have 3000 New Rooms This Year
Despite alarming headlines over traveling warnings and record sargassum levels, visitors continue to flock to Cancun for a taste of Caribbean hospitality and luxury.
Growing demand is prompting many firms to invest in the city, especially in the packed resort zone, which is projected to have 3000 new hotel rooms by the end of the year.
AVA Resort Cancun is one of the largest resorts to open its doors to guests in 2023; the five-star 1,700-room property will offer gorgeous ocean views and a long list of fun amenities for travelers to enjoy.
RCD’s undertaking is just one of many coming to Cancun’s hotel zone, leading many officials to express concern over the city’s resort density.
