Best hotels in Cancun

Q: Which rooms would I consider for a larger family?

At Hyatt Ziva1, the 55 m² Resort View Master Double sleeps up to 5. At Moon Palace2, the Family Deluxe joins 2 connecting rooms for up to 7: the seventh guest must be a child using an extra bed. At NIZUC3, a Master Suite can connect to an Ocean View Deluxe Double.

Q: Does a Hyatt Ziva Swim-Up have a private pool?

The pyramid building’s Swim-Up rooms1 open onto a semi-private pool. Every guest in the room must be at least 13; with younger children, I would choose another category.

Q: Which spa costs would I keep separate from the room price?

At Hyatt Ziva4, treatments and the hydrotherapy circuit cost extra. NIZUC’s 2026 spa menu5 adds 16% tax and an 18% service charge to treatment prices: I would compare the final amounts before choosing.

Among the best hotels in Cancun, I’d choose Hyatt Ziva for an all-inclusive stay, with an evening at Tres Cervezas, Moon Palace for days full of activities, and NIZUC for time spent over dinner. At NIZUC, I would price the meals alongside the room: its Bed & Breakfast offer includes breakfast for 2.
