Exploring Mexico: A Destination Guide
Mexico remains a standout choice for those travelling from the UK, offering an incredible range of resorts that cater to every traveller, from families needing water parks to couples seeking boutique luxury. Our focus is on the beautiful Caribbean coastline, including:
- Cancun: Ideal for those who want proximity to the airport and a choice of world-class, large-scale luxury beachfront resorts. The Iberostar Selection Cancun and Paradisus Cancun represent the high standard of service found here, as does the AVA Resort Cancun.
- Playa del Carmen: A fantastic choice for those who want a blend of resort life and local town atmosphere. Families often choose the Sandos Caracol Nature Resort and Water Park, while those looking for a premium experience often head to the Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach.
- Puerto Morelos: A quieter, more relaxed destination perfect for those wanting to escape the busier hubs. The Dreams Sapphire Resort & Spa and the Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun offer excellent all-inclusive comfort, while The Fives Oceanfront provides a more intimate, boutique feel.
- Tulum: Known for its more secluded, tranquil vibe, it is perfect for travellers who want to be near historical sites. The Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa is a prime example of the peaceful, garden-fringed retreats found in this area.
- Solidaridad, Playa Paraiso, and Puerto Aventuras: These areas offer sprawling, high-end complexes. If you are looking for extensive facilities, consider the Hard Rock Riviera Maya in Solidaridad, the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa in Akumal, or the Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar in Playa Paraiso.
Planning Your Perfect Getaway
When deciding where to stay, consider the pace of life you are looking for. If your priority is family entertainment, look for resorts with dedicated water parks and expansive pool complexes. Many of our listed hotels, particularly those in Playa del Carmen and Solidaridad, are designed specifically for this purpose. For couples or those looking for a romantic or quiet break, the boutique options in Puerto Morelos or the secluded gardens near Tulum offer a more serene environment.
The weather in this region is a major draw. With warm temperatures throughout the year, it is a consistent favourite for those looking to escape the British winter. The coastal breeze in regions like Cancun and the Riviera Maya helps to keep the climate comfortable even during the peak of the season, making it an excellent choice for sun-worshippers and beach lovers alike.
We have carefully selected these resorts to ensure they meet the high standards expected by British travellers.
