Club Med Cancún
Located at the tip of the iconic Riviera Maya, the newly redesigned Club Med Cancún Yucatán is waiting to be discovered. Our magnificent resort offers an array of experiences and activities and direct access to ancient Mayan wonders.
The Club Med Cancún Yucatán all-inclusive resort sits right next to three sandy beaches, along the world’s second-largest coral reef. It’s the place to be if you want to explore, unwind, and immerse yourself in the culture and adventure of Mexico.
A Bit About Cancún
A city in southeast Mexico on the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, Cancún is one of the most significant tourist destinations in Mexico. As one of Mexico’s easternmost points, the city is on the Caribbean Sea.
One thing to know about Cancún is that it’s a planned city, and it was created to foster tourism. Back in the 1970s when the area development first started, Isla Cancún only had three residents. All of them were caretakers of the coconut plantation of Don José de Jesús Lima Gutiérrez.
Since then, Cancún has seen a major transformation and it’s now one of the two most well-known resorts in Mexico, next to Acapulco.
The official language in Cancún is Spanish, although many people speak English as it’s a big tourist destination.
Since Cancún boasts a wonderfully long coastline, preserving it is in everyone’s interest. When packing, make sure to only take reef-safe sunblock with you.
Cancun climate and cuisine
Cancún,
Mexico
has a tropical climate, or more specifically a tropical wet and dry climate. That means that the city is hot pretty much all year round. Also, the annual mean temperature is 27.1 °C.
Unlike inland areas of the Yucatán Peninsula, sea breeze restricts high temperatures from reaching 36 °C on most days. Not only that but thanks to Yucatán’s current continually bringing warm water from the south, the sea temperature is always warm. In the winter, the lows are typically around 26 °C, while in the summer highs are around 29 °C.
The rainy season lasts from May to late October. That’s when Cancún experiences high temperatures and humidity, along with intense summer thundershowers. The dry season runs from December through April.
Culture and Customs
Given Cancún’s popularity with younger crowds and college-age travellers, the city typically has a more casual dress code. Cancún’s nighttime establishments, like bars and clubs, often welcome a more relaxed atmosphere and appearance.
Cancun cuisine
When you book your Cancún holiday with Club Med, you’ll receive full-board gourmet cuisine included in your stay. However, if you want to branch out within the city, you’re sure to discover plenty of restaurants worth sampling.
Cancún has almost as many restaurants as hotels, so you should have no trouble finding something to your taste. One of the reasons for that is that the cuisine of Mexico is regarded as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of Unesco.
For a taste of true, authentic Mexican cuisine, the cochinita pibil is one of the most famous dishes from the Yucatán cookbook. The combination of ancient Mayan spices, combined with pork marinated in achiote and sour orange, is simply addictive. That said, if you want more variety, you’ll easily find it in any number of international restaurants.
A Day Trip to Chichen Itza
Cancún is an incredibly thrilling and exciting destination with activities, excursions, and attractions galore.
A well-known archeological site and the 7th wonder of the world,
Chichen Itza
welcomes more than 2.5 million tourists each year. The sacred site was one of the greatest Mayan centres in the entire Yucatán peninsula. Throughout its nearly 1,000-year history, Chichen Itza represents a fusion of many different people. It’s open to tourists from Monday to Sunday, from 8 AM to 4 PM.
If you want to visit this magnificent site, you can do so through Club Med. A guide will travel with you, helping you navigate the wondrous attraction, and after (an included) lunch, you can swim in an open cenote and visit the colonial city of Valladolid.
Discover Coba
Another stunning site of Mayan culture that shouldn’t be missed is Coba. Located in the eastern part of the Yucatán Peninsula, it’s one of the few sites to retain its Mayan name; it translates to ruffled/uneven water.
The settlement dates to the Preclassic, which was around 350 BC – 250 CE. Coba contains many free-standing carved stone slabs, as well as many white stone roads that extend within and outside of the site.
To visit Coba and explore the Nohoch Mul pyramid, you can book an excursion with Club Med Cancún. After lunch, you can refresh yourself in a spectacular cenote on the Yucatán peninsula.
Tulum and Cenote
Tulum was the last great city the Mayans constructed and inhabited between the 13th and 15th centuries. It was a site of worship to the Great Descending God whose image you can still see within the temple walls.
Nowadays, numerous ancient structures remain, spread out over groomed lawns and oceanside cliffs. The Tulum ruins are open seven days a week from 8 AM to 5 PM, and they get around 2,000 visitors each day.
With Club Med, you can discover all that this wonderful city has to offer and explore the underground geological formation while swimming in the crystal-clear waters of a cavern.
The Ancient Kingdom of Ek’Balam
Ek’Balam is a Yucatec-Maya archeological site and it lies on the Northern Maya lowlands, 25 km north of Valladolid. It was a seat of a Mayan kingdom from the Preclassic until the Postclassic period.
As part of Ek’Balam, there are 45 structures, which include walls, a chapel, an oval palace, ballcourt, steam bath, and more. With Club Med, you can book an exciting excursion to the ancient kingdom, followed by a swim in a natural freshwater pool or cenote.
