Get a taste of Mayan culture with the modern comforts of a hotel Cancun


Mexico has a rich culture and the Mayan culture is fascinating to many but going out in the sticks of Mexico isn’t always as appealing. You should choose a Hotel in Cancun that offers you the best of both worlds.

Cancun is a typically ‘Americanised’ area of Mexico with long strips of clubs, bars and chain restaurants, this gives you all the comforts and privileges of a modern city but only a bus or car drive to the heart of the Mayan culture you can experience everything that Mexico has to offer.

Many people who come to Mexico want to see the rural areas, the villages and ancient buildings that are now mostly ruins; however the thought of accommodations in these more rural areas is not many people’s idea of a holiday. The best option is to go somewhere like a hotel Cancun that will allow you to have modern comforts and be spoiled by the staff but also close enough to see most of what Mexico has to offer.
Some of the most popular destinations you can get to from Cancun are the ancient Mayan ruins at Chichen Itsa, the Isla Mujeres (Island of the women), Tulum and many ancient Cenote’s. Your Cancun Hotel will be able to sort out trips to these places or recommend a reputable company.

If you go out to these destinations you will be approached by a lot of Mexican street sellers who will haggle with you over jewellery, Mayan carvings, fabrics and clothing. This can be quite annoying but some of the sellers have some lovely pieces and if it is something you fancy you can get them down a lot in price by threatening to walk away.

In Hotel Cancun will most likely give you an excellent service but don’t forget to tip, with tourism being big business in Cancun people will bend over backwards to help you but make sure you reward them with a tip. If you tip someone well at the beginning there is a good chance they will be happy to look after you all day or night.

The best thing about a hotel Cancun is you get to see a lot of what Mexico has to offer, from the modern city to the ancient ruins you get to experience a lot more without having to compromise your comfort and by the end of your holiday you will feel you have seen and done a lot as well as having the chance to relax in spas and swimming pools in your hotel in Cancun.
