Few destinations in Mexico dazzle visitors quite like Cancun, a modern resort town filled with glitzy hotels sitting on picturesque and well-developed Caribbean beaches.We've included these beaches for you: Akumal Beach and Playa Norte. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like La Isla Shopping Village and Parroquia de Cristo Resucitado. Get out of town with these interesting Cancun side-trips: Punta Sur (in Isla Mujeres), Puerto Morelos (Spas & Tequila Factory Cancun) and Playa del Carmen (Scuba & Snorkeling, Quinta Avenida, &more). There's still lots to do: fulfill a lifelong dream with a swim-with-the-dolphins experience, tee off at Cancun Golf Club at Pok-Ta-Pok, explore the galleries of Galeria Balance Cancun, and hunt for treasures at Mercado 28.
