This adults-only all-inclusive resort is centrally located in Cancún’s Hotel Zone, where the gorgeous beaches are perfect for frolicking and wading in the ocean. And while the Secrets The Vine Cancún‘s beachfront locale is enough to draw in travelers from all over, the food and drink offerings here are especially noteworthy. What’s more, guests can choose from more than a dozen bars and restaurants, including five à la carte gourmet restaurants, a world-class buffet, a grill and a cafe. In terms of ambiance, the dining options range from white-tablecloth fine-dining featuring quality chops to breezy, laid-back, alfresco settings serving up light lunchtime fare or Peruvian specialties. The other restaurants dish out chef-prepared Mexican, Italian, Mediterranean and Asian specialties, and best of all, no reservations are required.
Beyond the food, resort highlights include stylish luxury rooms and suites with Italian porcelain floors and private balconies as well as two infinity and terrace swimming pools and an oceanview hot tub. When it comes to complimentary activities and entertainment, there are live musical performances, weekly cocktail parties, beach volleyball, mixology cocktail classes and dance lessons. There is also a 12,000-square-foot spa, where wellness-seekers and gourmands can indulge in one-of-a-kind services like chocolate and coffee body wraps.
Pros:
- More than a dozen bars and restaurants serving up international cuisine from Mexico, the Mediterranean, Asia, Peru and Italy
- All rooms have ocean views
- Expansive spa offers gourmand-inspired treatments such as chocolate and coffee body wraps
Con:
- If traveling in peak season, you may experience long waits at restaurants (which is why it’s worth planning a visit in shoulder season)
How we chose the best Cancún all-inclusive resorts
With dozens of incredible options to choose from, narrowing down the best all-inclusive resorts in Cancún wasn’t easy. To start, we ensured all the properties we selected were located along the beach—which, given Cancún’s gorgeous stretches of sand, should come as no surprise. It was also important for us to consider guest experiences, so we combed through hundreds, if not thousands, of TripAdvisor reviews. This helped us to determine each property’s key features and amenities. Last, keep in mind that all the resorts we chose are true all-inclusives, meaning the rate includes food and drinks, plus on-site activities that, depending on the property, include non-motorized water sports, live music and entertainment, kids clubs and much more.
