Fodor's Expert Review Occidental Tucancún

Blvd. Kukulcán, Km 14, Cancún, Quintana Roo, 77500, Mexico

Strategically located near a couple of shopping centers, this lively resort is an ideal location for mall addicts; however, there’s enough to keep non-shoppers occupied, too—including volleyball games and water-polo matches in the activities pool. The sound does sometimes carry over into the area that houses the two quieter pools, one of which has built-in chaise lounges for ultimate relaxation. The salmon-color hotel is offset by bright blue accents throughout. To secure an oceanfront room, you'll have to pay extra. And don't lose your towel card, because it will cost you MX$340.

PROS

  • near two of Cancún's biggest malls
  • wide range of activities for children and adults
  • four handicapped-accessible rooms

CONS

  • only half the rooms have water views
