NIZUC Resort and Spa

Over the resort’s 264 seductive suites and villas, you can enjoy a level of service that’s unsurpassed, where your every desire is catered to, and where nothing is too much trouble. You’ll never tire of the dining options at NIZUC, with 6 world-class restaurants to choose from, including Peruvian fare at Ni, Asian Fusion at Indochine, and Mediterranean cuisine at Terra Nostra. This is All-Inclusive food gone gourmet.

When it comes to activities, by day, why not try snorkeling or paddleboarding straight from the beach. And by night, enjoy some Cuban Jazz as you relax with an expertly crafted cocktail. Alongside the elegant decor, peaceful setting, and non-stop luxury, you can also enjoy traditional Mayan treatments as you’re pampered at the Mexican Caribbean’s first ESPA-branded spa. 

With great offers currently available, a stay at NIZUC Resort and Spa is a possibility that’s hard to refuse.

Ideally located between the entertainment of Punta Cancun and shopping at La Isla, you’ll find the Hyatt Zilara Cancun, an adults-only hideaway that boasts the widest stretch of beach in the Hotel Zone. 

The resort’s 307 suites offer classic elegance with dark-wood furnishings and wrought iron balconies inviting you to relax and enjoy the stunning views across the water.

Ritz-Carlton Cancun

This classy Cancun establishment is the first Ritz-Carlton resort outside the United States and over the last 30 years it has created quite a reputation for itself. Synonymous with luxury and the best of the best, the Ritz-Carlton brand conjures up images of classical style and timeless elegance – and the Cancun resort more than lives up to this vision. 

Esthetically, the Ritz-Carlton Cancun harks back to the good old days of opulent decor, with plush sofas, chandeliers, and meters of fabric elegantly dressing the windows. Despite this old-world glamor, the resort caters well to families, with a dedicated Club Lounge Level for family hangouts.
