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
