\nTypes of Accommodation in Cancun & The Riviera Maya<\/h2>\n
For my experience hotel and accommodation in Cancun and the Riviera Maya can be broken up into:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Low budget hotels<\/strong> (often just the room and possibly a shared pool, no food or amenities included)<\/li>\n
- Rentals<\/strong> (Airbnb type accommodation, there are A LOT of these in Cancun and Playa del Carmen…self-catering etc, better for long-term stays)<\/li>\n
- Affordable All-Inclusives<\/strong> (great for families and commonly includes resorts such as Sandos and Riu, etc)<\/li>\n
- 4-5* All-Inclusives<\/strong> (typical go-to resorts include Paradisus, the Hilton, etc – this is the kind of hotel most adult groups look for when travelling to the Mexican Caribbean)<\/li>\n
- 5*+ Upscale Accommodations <\/strong>(* all resorts listed in this blog* for people with more money to play with,\u00a0 who are looking for the ultimate Caribbean luxury experience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
