Everything you need to know about Cancun

Cancun all-inclusive resorts line 22 kilometres of white sand and warm, turquoise Caribbean, the region's effortless classic. The Hotel Zone has the big names and the nightlife, while quieter stretches north toward Playa Mujeres feel more secluded. Beyond the beach, Cancun is the gateway to the Yucatan: ancient Maya cities, jungle cenotes and the world's second-largest reef are within a day's reach. Short transfers and widely spoken English make it the easiest first trip to Mexico's Caribbean.

Cancun travel FAQ

Everything Canadian travellers ask before booking

Which area of Cancun is best for families?

The Hotel Zone and the resorts north toward Playa Mujeres have the calmest beaches, kids' clubs and water parks.

Is there sargassum seaweed in Cancun?

Some beaches see sargassum from roughly May to August. Resorts rake the sand daily, and the north-facing beaches near Playa Mujeres are usually clearer.

How far is the airport from the Hotel Zone?

About 20 to 40 minutes by transfer, depending on your resort.

Do I need to rent a car in Cancun?

Not for a resort trip; transfers and tours cover most needs. A car helps only if you plan lots of independent day trips.

What are the best all-inclusive resorts in Cancun for families?

The Hotel Zone and northern Riviera Maya have the most family-focused all-inclusives, with shallow beaches, kids' clubs and water parks.

Do Canadian travellers need a visa for Cancun?

Canadian citizens generally do not need a visa for short tourist stays in Mexico, and a valid passport is required, with an FMM tourist card issued on arrival. Entry requirements can change, so confirm current guidance on the Government of Canada travel advisory page for Mexico before you go.
