Cancun is a beautiful city with plenty to see and do. However, getting around can be challenging for travelers unfamiliar with the area. The best way to get around Cancun is by car. Renting a car allows you to explore the city at your own pace and see all the sights that interest you. If you don't want to rent a car, consider taking a taxi or a private driver, which your concierge can arrange.
Travelers typically enjoy Cancun from November through April, when the weather is 75°F and 90°F (24°C to 32°C), with little rain. Occasionally, cold fronts can blow in chillier weather for a few days. However, overall, the weather during this period is ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying all that Cancun has to offer. That said, if you want to get the best deals and avoid crowds, then travelling during shoulder season (May-August) is recommended.
Cancun's Hotel Zone and villa areas are considered very safe, with strong tourism security and gated residential communities. Most villas also include private security or are located in secure zones. As with any destination, normal travel precautions are recommended.
Sargassum can appear seasonally from April through September. Many villa communities and beachfront properties clean the shoreline daily, and some areas—especially north-facing beaches—tend to have less seaweed. Your Concierge can also recommend beaches with the clearest water during your stay.
Most Cancun villas include housekeeping and maintenance staff, and many offer private chef service. Additional staff such as butlers, bartenders, drivers, or nannies can be added by your Rental Escapes Concierge.
Tipping is customary in Cancun. Most guests leave between 10–15% of the villa cost for the full staff, divided evenly unless the lead housekeeper or chef has delivered exceptional service. Your Concierge can guide you based on your villa's staffing structure.
Yes—Cancun is excellent for families. The area has calm beaches, water parks, easy day trips, and kid-friendly dining. Many villas offer large outdoor spaces, pools, and family-sized bedrooms, and your Concierge can arrange cribs, high chairs, and babysitting services.
Popular day trips include Isla Mujeres, Chichén Itzá, Tulum ruins, cenote tours, ferry trips to Cozumel, and eco-parks like Xcaret and Xel-Há. Your Concierge can arrange private guides, transportation, and skip-the-line access where available.
Cancun is a world-renowned vacation destination for a reason: it has something for everyone. Whether you're looking for an action-packed adventure or a relaxing getaway, you'll find it in Cancun.
Experience the history: Chichén Itzá is one of the most notable and recognized landmarks on the Yucatán peninsula. The large Mayan archaeological site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the focal point of the ruins is the pyramid-like El Castillo. The temple to the god Kukulkan was once used by Mayans as a ceremonial center for their civilization. Today, travelers from around the world come to marvel at and experience these one of a kind ruins.
Go to the Beach: Cancun is renowned for its stunning beaches such as Playa Delfines, Playa Marlin and Playa Forum, which boast crystal-clear waters and white sand beaches. Visitors can find a range of beach activities to enjoy, from swimming and sunbathing to windsurfing and parasailing.

Cancun is home to a wide variety of culinary options, from traditional Mexican dishes to fresh seafood. If you're looking for something hearty, try the cochinita pibil, a slow-roasted pork dish served with black beans and rice. For something lighter, try the ceviche, a popular dish made with fresh fish that has been marinated in lime juice.
Cancun is a semi-tropical climate, with an average yearly temperature of 78°F (25°C), rising to 95° F (35°C) in the summer. Humidity can be high in Cancun, often around 80%.
