Old world calm among the hustle and bustle of what is Cancun
Once a victim of natural erosion, the Ritz-Cartlon underwent a 71 million dollar beach recovery program, and boy, was it worth every penny. This classic Caribbean icon is everything Cancun should be. Bright, uncompromising, and framed by crystal blue waters begging to be explored.
The 368 guest rooms and suites all face the sea, and offer 400-thread count linens, iPod docking stations, and cozy terry towel robes for lazy mornings. For parents with young children, reserve the Itzy-Bitzy room, with all the baby essentials one needs to retain their sanity in this idyllic locale.
Unwind at the spa, as the sound of the tides roll in behind your pampered feet. Soak up some local foodie knowledge at the Culinary Center, and linger for a Tequila tasting. Choose one of the five restaurants, including Casitas, the only Steakhouse on the beach in Cancun.
Above all though, remember why you came to Cancun: sun, sand, and turquoise waters. Make no mistake; there's plenty of all that.
