The 10 Best Hotels in Cancun of 2024

"Excellence Playa Mujeres was a World’s Best Awards 2022 winner, and it remains a heavy contender against competitors in the luxury all-inclusive category. This adults-only resort offers a little bit of everything from cooking classes and kayaking to nine restaurants with global flavors, and impressively swanky marbled suites that start off at 800 square feet. Reasonably priced room upgrades snag extras like swim-up pools, stunning terraces, and plunge pools with rooftop views. This resort appeals equally to friends and couples looking to relax against a gorgeous beachfront background or get pampered with a nourishing spa treatment, and those who like to actively try new things (archery or water polo, anyone?) and cheers with fellow travelers with a craft cocktail at one of the bars. For an even more seamless experience, opt for the Excellence Club level which will get you extra perks galore from total pool and whirlpool access, an exclusive beach area, and thoughtful in-room touches like fresh flowers." - Katherine Alex Beaven Katherine Alex Beaven Katherine Alex Beaven is a Los Angeles-based travel, food and drink, and culture writer.
