Cancun isn’t all about 5* ultra-luxury resorts, though it does have its fair share of those. It’s also home to a great range of 4* hotels that provide comfort, service, and great facilities, but without the scary price tag. Here are 5 of the best 4-star hotels and resorts in the popular Mexican vacation city of Cancun.
Wyndham Alltra Cancun
This new 4* resort only opened in Spring 2022 but has already built quite a reputation for its excellent amenities and personal service. The resort offers a range of 458 rooms and suites, which start at the 387 sq ft Standard King rooms and Junior Suites offering a sitting area, a minibar, and a balcony or terrace. For a more luxurious suite, try the 1-bed 645 sq ft Master Suites which have balconies with a hot tub, a spacious living room, and access to the Alltra VIP Club.
The Wyndham Alltra Cancun has ten restaurants, bars, and lounges to choose from, offering Mexican, Italian and Asian cuisine, alongside the Ventanas buffet, a coffee shop, and plenty more. The beachfront location in the mid-section of the Cancun hotel zone is ideal, whether you want to shop, enjoy Cancun’s nightlife – or you don’t want to leave the resort at all!

Oh! Cancun The Urban Oasis
This downtown Cancun hotel is a great example of the value for money you can find away from Cancun’s expensive hotel zone. The 4* Oh! Cancun The Urban Oasis offers 58 comfortable rooms, ranging from standard rooms with all the amenities you need, to junior suites, with a balcony, as well as a sitting and dining area.
The location of the hotel is appealing if you want to explore what downtown Cancun has to offer. It’s only a few minutes from the Plaza Las Americas shopping mall, which is one of the best shopping options in Cancun. You are also within walking distance of the family-favorite Parque las Palapas, Cancun’s main public park. The hotel has a restaurant, a bar, and a fantastic pool area filled with tropical plants and Bali beds, making it a perfect spot to soak up that Cancun sunshine.
