The all-inclusive Riu Palace is part of a family of Riu resorts in Canc n known for their grand, opulent style This one is the smallest of the three in Canc n, and the most elegant (read: expensive) Its awe-inspiring pearlwhite Greco exterior dominates the skyline as if a beacon to one of the most coveted pieces of real estate on the strip, close to shopping, dining, bustling nightlife, and a mere five-minute walk to the Convention Center The d cor is decidedly more European than many of the hotels in Canc n, with crystal chandeliers, intricately carved dark wood, stained-glass skylights, and Victorian-style furnishings The rooms lack some of the refined touches seen throughout the main areas and feel a little dated; however, they include all of the essentials, with either two double beds or two double beds pushed together to form a pseudo-king Most host ocean or lagoon views from a private balcony or terrace and have separate sitting areas; 8 of the 32 suites also have an in-suite Jacuzzi Full bottles of premium brand liquors and a full-stocked minifridge make most all-inclusive resorts seem stingy by comparison Two central pools overlook the ocean and a wide stretch of beach, with one heated during winter months There s also a solarium, fitness center, spa (extra charges apply), and a host of sports and activities ranging from windsurfing to tennis The hotel has six restaurants and five bars, offering guests virtually 24 hours of allinclusive snacks, meals, and beverages And, if that s not enough, guests have exchange privileges at the Riu Canc n next door, and the Riu Caribe

Westin Regina is great for anyone wanting the beauty of Canc n s beaches and a little distance between them and the more boisterous, flashy parts of Canc n s hotel strip The strikingly austere but grand architectural style of the Westin Regina is the stamp of leading Latin-American architect Ricardo Legorreta A series of five swimming pools front the recently expanded beach, and a newly built seawall provides an added feeling of seclusion The d cor in the main areas reveals clean lines and contemporary furnishings, juxtaposed to the traditional stucco-style Mexican walls that make the overall presence feel a little tired The hotel is divided into two sections, the main building and the more exclusive six-story tower section Standard rooms are unusually large, and the first-floor rooms have a dome ceiling and terraces The rooms on the sixth floor have balconies, and 120 rooms in the tower are bigger and have ocean or lagoon views Westin Work-Out rooms are also available and feature an in-room treadmill or stationary bike,
