Overview

Flanking the Caribbean Sea, this hotel fringes Kukulcan Boulevard on Cancun’s picturesque peninsula. Explore some of Cancun’s historical and cultural heritage at the ruins of El Ray, two miles south, or unwind with some retail therapy at the Luxury Avenue Mall, just three and a half miles from the resort. The bustling markets of Plaza San Miguel and strings of authentic taquerias await you in Downtown Cancun – 16 miles away.

Head 79 miles west along the coast to reach Tulum and its sugar-white sands. Cancun International Airport is located eight miles south-west of the resort.
The lobby’s ornate interiors both impress and invite – with gleaming marble-style floors and large sculptures, like the brass shells that dangle from the ceiling and life-size palm trees. Rooms are contemporary and bright with a palette of coastal creams and ocean blues, complemented by blond wood furnishings and crisp white sheets. These airy sanctuaries feature flat-screen TVs and coffee machines for that added sense of luxury, most featuring sweeping sea vistas. Upgrade to a suite or villa for additional space with lounge areas and balconies.
