Cancun Lighthouse Review - Hotel Zone - Cancun - The Infatuation
"Cancun Lighthouse is lying to us. Much to our disappointment, it looks nothing like an actual lighthouse, but that’s ok since it’s right on the lagoon where you can get juicy shrimp and refreshing drinks with a great view. It’s also right next to La Isla mall, so if you’re shopping for souvenirs, stop by and recharge with a frozen strawberry daiquiri and a shrimp burger or a vegetarian burrito and fries. Whatever you order, add a side of their excellent chipotle dressing—a luxury that you surely can’t get at most real lighthouses." - Barbara Gutiérrez
Walked down here from Fiesta Americana Coral Cancun hotel. Definitely a nice morning stroll and very cool spot to visit. If you're in walking distance, I wouldn't say it's worth a drive from another hotel or anything. But if you're staying in the area, definitely walk over. The water is absolutely gorgeous on the west side of the lighthouse. Also makes for a great photo opportunity area!

A pretty lost place. The lighthouse is old and has such a nice vibe. Specially with the other toppings around. It's just reachable when you go through an hotel area. But from there, around the cliffs, you can see big fishes. We spotted also a shark over there, which was amazing for us.

Is it really worthy also if you have to wake up early but if are like me you ll not to late at night in the clubs and in Cancun there isn’t too much beautiful things to do

Getting to this Lighthouse was a journey for me. I walked to 3 hotels to ask for directions. You can get access from the entrance of Playa Caracol by supermarket Super Chedraui and you'll have to walk for 15 minutes depending on how fast you can pass through 3-4 private beaches. If you are staying at Hyatt Ziva, then you can easily access this. It's on their property.
It's a great photo spot! Recommend wearing shoes to walk around the rocky area. And it's very windy.
Like other reviewers said, you can't enter into the Lighthouse. The staircase has been cut off.

This spot is beautiful. We were staying at Krystal Grand and decided to walk through the back of Hyatt to the lighthouse lol. We made it without any trouble, however, according to other reviews, use caution and be respectful to any security personnel.

Non touristy place..
Only locals and backpackers seems to go there.
Follow the beach even you have to walk in front of all hotels along the beach.
Mexican law has beaches excluded to be private property. So no worries...

Totally worth it! We really enjoyed our walk along the beach to the lighthouse. It’s a beautiful spot and makes for nice photos. Definitely recommend it!

If you happen to be in this part of Cancun it's interesting to see up close but it is actually pretty dangerous to walk on the old coral. Jagged in many places. You are on the Hyatt ziva property to get to the lighthouse. The guard let us go as long as you don't wonder around the property.
