Amenity highlights: Built by the Mexican government when it undertook to develop Cancún as a destination resort, the hotel is on what is arguably Cancún's best beach which is broad (150 yards), deep (75 yards), flat, blindingly white, and won't burn bare feet. Located on Mujeres Bay instead of the open Caribbean, the water is calm and perfect for family swimming. The resort includes two square pools, one large and adults-only, the other even larger and bordered on one side by a pyramid with cascading water.
