About Cancun

Cancun, Mexico

Cancun is Mexico's top tourist destination. Located on the tip of the Yucatan peninsula its beaches are unparalleled with gleaming white sands and the clear blue-green waters of the Caribbean. A wide range of restaurants, exciting night life, a variety of shopping opportunities and the overall tropical atmosphere draw over two million visitors a year. It's hard to believe that 25 years ago it didn't exist at all.

Cancun Vacations

Cancun has 200+ days of sun a year and the temperature averages 80F (25C). The "hotel zone," which is what most tourists think of as Cancun, is a fourteen mile long, thin island shaped like a "7." To the North is the Caribbean Sea with wide open beaches and strong waves. To the west the shore is buffeted by Isla Mujeres (Isle of Women) causing calmer waters. To the south, between the island and the mainland is the Nichupte Lagoon which is perfect for all sorts of water sports and activities.

Cancun Real Estate

Downtown Cancun (or El Centro) has a much different feel, mainly because it is actually lived in. Cancun City has several hundred thousand residents. It offers markets instead of malls, and street venders and outdoor cafes rather than air-conditioned restaurants. Downtown Cancun has little of the glitz of the hotel zone, but is a fast growing and interesting city to visit in it's own right, with plenty to see and do for those wishing to explore a little more.
