All-inclusive resorts in Cancun have undergone a steady evolution over the years. Once popularized for its convenience and value, hotels are now pivoting to more structured and elevated experiences with a variety of amenities and entertainment designed to captivate all types of travelers. A case in point for Hilton Cancun, an all-inclusive beach front resort.
Surrounded by lush mangroves and set on 100 acres of unspoiled Mayan coastline, this Hilton resort offers a seamless connection to nature, culture and relaxation. The hotel delivers 13 dining options, on-site spa treatments, an amphitheater with live music events, country club access and plenty of sports activities.
For an ultimate Cancun retreat, here’s everything you need to know about eating, drinking and dancing your way through Hilton’s tropical resort.
Rooms With A Luxe View
At Hilton you can focus on maximizing your time with a mix of relaxation and activities without leaving the resort. Its Cancun location feels like a private retreat as it’s nestled away from other resorts in the main hotel zone, but still pretty close to the airport (9 minutes to be exact) as well as the main town area in case you want to go exploring.
Drawing inspiration from local artisans and the surrounding coastline, Hilton Cancun, an all-inclusive resort offers a wide range of rooms and suites (715 in total) with either an ocean view or a mangrove view. Some rooms offer swim-up patios while others include panoramic sea views for a private sanctuary feeling.
A Food Lover’s Beach Paradise
If you’re a foodie, prepare to eat well on this vacation. Hilton Cancun offers up 13 delicious gastronomic experiences to eat at during your stay. Each restaurant and bar offers a wide variety of cuisines to satisfy the food craving you’re looking for. From La Luce, a beachfront restaurant serving up steamy pies from its central wood-fired pizza oven, to Maxal, a Mexican restaurant dishing out traditional cuisine and a rotating selection of tacos from its walk up window. If you have a sweet tooth, make sure to stop by La Churrería, an all-you-can-eat ice cream & churro shop, for delicious desserts.
For a truly special dining experience, guests can upgrade to a private dinner at Hilton’s “Dinner Under the Moonlight” experience, which features a five-course menu by the beach. After, wash all that food down with unlimited cocktails and drinks at the resort’s Azulinda Lobby Bar, a lounge offering regional and imported beer, wine, and daily cocktails.
Dance the Night Away
Hilton Cancun includes all the on-site amenities you’d expect from a resort, like fitness facilities, multiple pools for both adults and kids, beach access, as well as an amphitheater filled with live music, performances and themed events like glow parties, live DJ sets and even a recent Halloween concert.
For kids, the resort features a kids and teen zone for the little ones to enjoy their own exclusive safe space with plenty of activities to keep them occupied, including sports tournaments, video games, beach games, volleyball, and water sports.
If you’re into sports, teeing off at the Cancun Country Club’s El Tinto golf course is a must. Guests have access to play one of Latin America’s premier golf courses, which is just 9 minutes from the resort. The country club also has tennis and paddle courts for friendly matches or competitive play, as well as semi-Olympic and recreational pools for both exercise and relaxation.
Relaxing and Unwind
If you truly want to slow things down and unwind, just steps from Hilton Cancun is the award-winning Waldorf Astoria Spa Riviera Maya, where ancient Mayan rituals meet cutting-edge therapies in a lush jungle sanctuary. Guests can choose from over 20 indoor and outdoor treatment spaces designed for deep restoration. Using fresh garden herbs, locally sourced oils and healing crystals, align your body and soul with a 60-minute hydrotherapy circuit, a 50-minute relaxing massage or a 60-minute rejuvenating facial. Guests can book appointments right at the hotel or online.
