On a recent trip to Cancun, I took some time to pay a visit to resorts I have not been to before. I was very impressed by this luxury resort in Cancun, in the hotel zone. Nizuc is listed as one of the 500 best hotels in the world by Travel & Leisure. A short drive from the airport, you can lounge on the powder white sand beach, and enjoy a villa experience with a modern take on Mayan tradition.

The resort offers 2 Bars, 6 restaurants, and is an EP plan resort. There are two beaches, 1 is for adults only. The resort includes daily non-motorized activities. There are three building sections; adults-only (age 13 and up), family & villas. Each building and villas have their own butler. The furnishings are modern and pay tribute to the Mayan heritage and architecture. No detail has gone unnoticed, and natural elements surround you wherever you look.
