If you're craving a tropical vacay with all the white sand beaches and crazy beautiful water, but want to avoid too many connections and small planes, then Cancun is your perfect destination.
1. Easy to Access
Cancun is nestled just perfectly on the sunny Yucatan Peninsula where, thankfully, many airlines fly through. In fact, the carrier list includes several major airlines such as American, Delta, United, Southwest, Jet Blue, Aeromexico, Spirit and Sun Country who all fly to Cancun. You can always check Skyscanner for a longer list of airlines that will surely get you to paradise!

In 2010, Cancun got a major facelift. Prior to this time, it was assaulted by heavy foot traffic and deadly hurricanes. After a three-month project, Cancun’s beaches were extended a dramatic seven miles along the east side of the Hotel zone. Overall, the project cost about $70 million dollars, but the cost was well worth it: happy tourists now have plenty of space to plop under palapas, wiggle their toes in the sand and enjoy their place in the sun. Will ya take a look at this beach? Are the words “Cancun vacation” rolling around in your mind yet?

The world-famous Cancun Hotel Zone does, in fact, live up to all of your entertainment expectations. There are enough bars, clubs, lounges, restaurants and shops to suit everyone's definition of a good time.

In between all the hustle and bustle of popular Cancun, there's still more than enough "quiet" spaces to tuck away to for a morning or afternoon of relaxation. Lounge on a sunbed, hearing nothing but the sounds of waves crashing a few feet away and palm trees swaying in the ocean breeze. Leave the distractions (anything with Wi-Fi) in your room, grab a cocktail or some wine and your favorite book and just stay a while.

Mexico's ancient Mayan ruins are a total must-visit, especially when you're in Cancun. The history and mystique of the Mayan culture can be felt and seen nearly everywhere–Tulum, Chichen Itza and Coba are great ruins to check out. The best part? Most sites are accessible by bus, car or one of the many tours offered in the surrounding areas. Pro tip: don't forget to wear your walking shoes and sunscreen!

These enchanting phenomena are natural pits, or sinkholes, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. In and around Cancun, you’ll have many to choose from. You can swim, float, or just chillax. There’s nothing quite like them!
