Cancun once had a reputation as an inexpensive all-inclusive destination. Now, the famous beaches of the Hotel Zone boast one of the best collections of luxury resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean as a whole, as Cancun continues to draw travelers in massive numbers from around the world. Here are the most stylish, elegant, and pampering places to spend a week in Cancun.

Nizuc Resort & Spa The resort that led the way in making boutique luxury stays a reality in Cancun, the Nizuc continues to set a high bar for exclusivity with its Punta Nizuc location (remote by Cancun standards) and 274 suites and villas spread across 29 acres of property. Add a half-dozen upscale restaurants, classes on everything from cigar rolling to sushi making, and a top spa and adds up to a high-end stay that can stand up to anything offered by a Ritz or Four Seasons.
