If you’re looking for ultimate seaside charm, the Zona Hotelera (Hotel Zone) located along the 14-mile expanse of white sandy beach boasts some of the best places to stay in Cancun. Travelers who want to balance beach activities and a more authentic local culture will prefer El Centro (Cancun’s Downtown area). The town is a short distance from the airport, and it’s easy to access the Hotel Zone and beaches from here.
