The 10 Best Hotels in Cancun of 2024

"The Renaissance Cancun Resort & Marina opened in 2019 as the first Renaissance property in Mexico. This 169-room hotel has a slightly removed and very walkable waterfront location in the affluent 800-acre community of Puerto Cancun, just south of the rambunctious Hotel Zone, but the vibe here can still be very lively. Rooms and suites are snug at 336 square feet and have modern contemporary decor that echoes the best of the Renaissance brand. Expect balconies, picture windows with views, loveseat sitting areas, and walk-in glass showers with rainfall showerheads. Bottled water is free, but minibar service and Wi-Fi will incur fees (Wi-Fi is free for Bonvoy members). This is an excellent and affordable non-all-inclusive option with two restaurants on site, a 24-hour gym, and access to a nearby golf course. Guests also have free entry to a beach club within walking distance, and the hotel’s location is ideal for catching cabs to the middle of the strip." - Katherine Alex Beaven Katherine Alex Beaven Katherine Alex Beaven is a Los Angeles-based travel, food and drink, and culture writer.
