12 Days of Adventures During Your All-Inclusive Vacation in Cancún

When you visit Cancún, you realize there’s so much to explore that you can’t miss the thousands of experiences this destination hides among its fantastic settings of pristine nature. Beyond its renowned white-sand beaches and turquoise-blue waters, Cancún is the gateway to a world of exquisite cuisine, archaeological remains that amaze explorers from all over the world, beautiful islands bathed in Caribbean sun, nightclubs, bars, theme parks and a wide variety of adventure activities.

To discover all these tourist wonders while also enjoying a restful vacation, a great option is to book a stay in Cancún’s hotel zone, keeping you very close to all the attractions:

A Suggested Itinerary for Your All-Inclusive Vacation in Cancún

Days 1 to 3: Arrival in Cancún and Relaxation at Your Hotel

Since your vacation is just beginning, the recommendation is a bit of relaxation, comfort and simply letting yourself be pampered. When you stay at an all-inclusive hotel, you can check in and immediately put on your swimsuit to jump into the pool or the sea. Some hotels have plenty of bars and snack stations that let you satisfy any craving without having to get dressed; your outfit these days will be a swimsuit, a t-shirt and sandals. Forget suits, ties and closed-toe shoes… You’re in Cancún!

Days 4 and 5: Tulum and Cobá

Now that your energy is recharged and you’ve left stress behind, book an exploration tour of the Maya world. We can recommend some of the main archaeological sites located in the south of Quintana Roo. Since they’re on the same route, you can do both excursions on the same day. Marvel at Tulum, the only Maya site built on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea, and explore Cobá by renting a pedicab or bicycle to travel the beautiful paths connecting its different temples, all the way to Nohoch Mul, one of the tallest pyramids in the region.

After this adventure, you can take a rest day to recharge your energy again at your hotel.

Days 6 and 7: Sacred Cenotes and the Riviera Maya

Taking the highway south of the state, you’ll reach Puerto Morelos, home to the Ruta de los Cenotes (Cenotes Route). If you’ve never visited a cenote, get ready to discover these unmatched freshwater caverns that will cool you off from the Caribbean heat; besides being the main source of drinking water for the ancient Maya, they regarded them as gateways to the underworld.

To close out the day, continue to Playa del Carmen and stroll along its famous Fifth Avenue, where you’ll find beautiful handicrafts, bars, restaurants and international brand boutiques.

Use the following day to recharge your batteries and let yourself be pampered by the hotel’s services.

Days 8 and 9: Chichén Itzá and Valladolid

One of the area’s main attractions, which also made the list of the New Seven Wonders of the World, is the archaeological site of Chichén Itzá, an ancient Maya ceremonial center where you’ll find magnificent, perfectly preserved temples; and if your visit falls during the spring equinox (March 20 or 21) or fall equinox (September 22 or 23), you can witness the light-and-shadow phenomenon that draws millions of visitors from around the world: the serpent that descends the steps of the Pyramid of Kukulcán.

At the end of this tour, some trips include a stop to eat at a Yucatecan cuisine restaurant located in the Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) of Valladolid, where you can savor traditional dishes prepared the traditional way, in a charming colonial-style setting.

Again, you’ll have a day to recover from all the walking, simply relaxing on the hotel beach, at the pool, or by booking dinner at a specialty restaurant.

Day 10: The Paradise of Isla Mujeres

For the tenth day, our suggestion is to visit a true Caribbean paradise located very close to Cancún. To reach the famous Isla Mujeres, you need to board a ferry that will comfortably take you there departing from the Puerto Juárez area. Another highly recommended option is to book a catamaran tour, which will take you to Isla Mujeres on a fantastic vessel that may include an open bar, access to a beach club, food and free time to explore downtown; a truly memorable day enjoying the magic of this paradise in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.https://blog.oasishoteles.com/blog/isla-mujeres-en-catamaran/

Days 11 and 12: The Perfect Ending to an Unforgettable Trip

Before heading home, take these last two days to relax in the comfort of your hotel, perhaps booking a massage, watching the sunset from the pool and reserving dinner at a delicious specialty restaurant. If you already have it on hand, make the most of it and take advantage of the benefits of the hotel that became your base of operations.
