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!

Nice area to walk on the rocks and look at the skyline of hotels. Cute little lighthouse

Very cool lighthouse, if you can get to it. I had to explain to the resort security that I wanted to go see it. They let me through, but it doesn't mean they will let you. Make sure to wear good shoes as the rocks leading to it are really jagged.

I don't know how can people could access this if it's not by the hotel... Maybe by the beach but you have to go to the Azul Beach and go in by the side.

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.
