Cancún is served by Cancún International Airport (CUN), which is well-connected to major cities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and other parts of Mexico. The airport is just a 20-minute drive from the hotel zone, where most of the resorts are located. You can take a taxi, shuttle, or private transfer from the airport to your accommodation.

The best time to visit Cancún is during the dry season, which runs from December to April. This is when the weather is warm and sunny, with little rain. However, this is also peak tourist season, so it can be crowded. If you prefer fewer crowds and lower prices, consider visiting in the shoulder months (May or November), though there may be occasional rain.

Top attractions in Cancún include the beautiful beaches (Playa Delfines, Playa Tortugas), the ancient Mayan ruins at El Rey Ruins and Tulum, the underwater museum (MUSA), and the nearby eco-parks like Xcaret, Xel-Há, and Xplor. Don’t miss the Cenotes (natural sinkholes), and for a bit of shopping, visit La Isla Shopping Village.

Yes, Cancún is great for families! There are plenty of kid-friendly activities such as visits to water parks (Xel-Há, Wet'n Wild), eco-adventures like zip-lining and snorkeling, and relaxing at the family-friendly resorts with all-inclusive options. The calm, shallow waters at many beaches are perfect for young children.

Cancún offers a variety of Mexican cuisine, including tacos, ceviche, tamales, and enchiladas, as well as fresh seafood. You'll also find international dishes, especially in the upscale restaurants within resorts. Be sure to try the local specialties such as "cochinita pibil" (slow-cooked pork) and "sopa de lima" (lime soup).
