Cancun is the single most heavily-visited vacation destination in Mexico today. And with reason. Magnificent beaches of fine white sand, superb restaurants and lodgings, crafts-and- clothing-shops, history-and-nature-featuring theme parks, and nearby Mayan sites (especially Tulum and Chichen-Itza) of breath-catching interest. Add the same facilities and attractions of the beach-lined Caribbean coast north and south of Cancun (Isla Mujeres, the 'Maya Riviera', among many more), and you have an indispensable visit and stay to make. The authors ofFrommer's Easy Guide to Cancun and the Caribbean Coast of Mexico have spent years in this warm-weather area, diligently searching for the best, and have set forth their top preferences in hotel resorts, restaurants, attractions and shops in all price ranges.
