Check-in starts at 3:00PM After checking in to the hotel, feel free to explore Cancún. On your first day, why not just relax and then try a traditional Mexican dinner? Day 2 oct 5 Cancún Check out one of the many beaches Cancún has to offer: Pearl Beach, Snail Beach, Blue Seagull Beach, Chac Mool Beach, Marlin Beach, or Dolphin Beach.

2 Here is what we recommend: 1. Playa Delfines - Dolphin Beach Location: Hotel Zone Boulevard Kukulcán km 18 This beach is located near the Ruinas El Rey along the southern end of the eastside. Getting There By Bus: Blue Line Stop #20, Green Line Stop #17 Playa Delfines is really popular, but really relaxed. The water is gorgeous, and there are enough waves to play in. You can also usually rent a jet ski nearby if you are looking for something faster. 2. Playa Marlín Marlin Beach Location: Hotel Zone Boulevard Kukulcán km 13 This beach is located near the Carisma Courts and the Tucancun Hotel, behind Plaza Kukulcán. Getting There By Bus: Blue Line Stop #46, Green Line Stop #41 Playa Marlin is amazing, and the water is a beautiful deep turquoise.

3 Isla Mujeres, or the Island of Women, is where some say your dream vacation becomes a reality. It s just eight miles across the bay from Cancún, but Isla Mujeres is its own magical little world. Since the island is only 5 miles long and half a mile wide at its widest point, you can be sure to see all there is to see.
