Cancun Hotel Zone Scenic Drive [4K] | Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico

Cancun Hotel Zone is also known as ‘Zona Hotelera’ or ‘Tourist Zone’. It is a narrow 22.5 Kms (14 Miles) long island where tourists spend most of their time during their Cancun holiday. Hotels, resorts and villas line the beaches of the Hotel Zone in Cancun thus providing unlimited access to white sand and turquoise water beaches to all staying in this zone. While on the outside of this long stretch are the hotels and the beaches, on the inside is Laguna Nichupté, a vast lagoon. Facing this massive water body are numerous attractions, water sports venues, waterfront restaurants, a few Golf courses, shopping malls etc. Cancun’s hotel zone also has a few minor archeological sites. We suggest you save these sites for the lazy days when you don’t want to do much. Ruins of El Rey located on Kukulacán Blvd at Km 17 (near Mile 10.5) is a quick getaway. Watch other interesting Mexico videos: From the Cancun International airport the closest part of the Hotel Zone is 10 Kms (6.2 Miles) and the furthest part is 25 Kms (15.5 Miles) away. Needless to say, the time it will take you to reach your Cancun Hotel will depend on where in the Zone your hotel is. A taxi can take you to the closest part of Cancun Hotel Zone in 12 minutes and to go to the furthest part of the Zone, you need around 25 minutes. Within the Cancun region, it usually takes one minute by road to travel 1 Km (0.62 Miles). There are more than 70 hotels in this Hotel Zone. The part of Cancun that is NOT the Hotel Zone...
