Top 10 Cancun Spring Break Resorts

If the words “Cancun” and “spring break” bring to mind images of raucous coeds and strobe-lit night clubs, you’re only capturing half the appeal of this infamous Mexico city. Despite its reputation for all-you-can-take tequila shots and questionable choices, there’s a softer side to this Yucatan Peninsula destination.

We’ve captured Cancun spring break at its best with our most recent Top 10 venture, including solely those places with a reputation for exceeding vacation expectations. If your spring break vacation finds you south of the border, our Top 10 Cancun Spring Break Resorts list makes for an excellent traveling companion!

You won’t find a more dramatic departure from our No. 1 spot than our next Top 10 Cancun Spring Break Resorts pick. While ME Cancun was all about the exotic, our No. 2 spot specializes in Mexico’s trademark sun and surf, while maintaining true all-ages appeal.

If you ask us, Beach Palace was made for spring break family vacations. And if you asked the scores of lucky tots and parents that preceded you in enjoying this Cancun resort’s beachfront digs, they’d eagerly agree! Sugar-soft Cancun sands and azure-tinged Caribbean surf welcome you to this Mexican paradise, where full-out luxury and modern comforts hide around every corner. Beach Palace certainly didn’t sacrifice style to achieve its family-friendly designation; chic décor beckons from its oceanfront luxury suites. There’s even a Kids’ Club that lets kids play while parents slip away – perhaps to their en-suite Jacuzzi for two? Beach Palace takes the term “all-inclusive” to a whole new level. Top shelf drinks at your beck and call. As many glasses of Spanish, Chilean and international wine as you can lift to your lips. And your choice of tours to the sights and attractions – Chichen Itza, Isla Mujeres and more – that earned Mexico a place as one of the world’s most beloved, history-rich travel destinations!

Highlights

Schedule your appointment with pampering at the Beach Palace’s onsite spa.

Fun facts

You pass the evening hours perched at the kitchen counter, poring over budgets and crunching the numbers. You spend the better part of spring filling out tax forms and filing addendums. They say the just shall inherit their reward, so meet your reward: An all-inclusive Cancun vacation – no counting required!

So where does one find such a blissful retreat? None other than the leader in global happiness – and our No. 4 pick – Club Med Cancun Yucatan. Set on an endless stretch of Mayan Riviera sands, surrounded by fragrant hibiscus blossoms and fronted by royal palm fronds that flutter in the cool Caribbean breeze; if this isn’t the most idyllic spring break destination you’ve ever seen, we don’t know what is. And if Club Med Cancun Yucatan doesn’t sound like an inviting place to forget the obligations of everyday life, we’re hard pressed to find another that will. As it’s all-inclusive you can go ahead and leave the wallet behind. Besides, your bikini wasn’t made for such heavy lifting! You’ll find so much to see, do and discover at this eco-friendly Cancun resort. Here on Cancun Bay, seaside adventures like snorkeling and wakeboarding give way to history-rich trips to Mayan archeological sites. An all-new spa offers an array of ways to indulge solo or with a significant other in tow. And casual dining in La Hacienda offers a true taste of the Yucatan on your spring break vacation!

Highlights

Club Med Cancun’s guestrooms and suites feature rich wood furnishings and bold orange hues tempered by neutral color palettes.

Our No. 5 spot serves as the literal centerpiece of Cancun’s hotel strip. At first sight, Cancun Clipper Club’s cream-colored stucco and red clay roof appears to blend in with its neighbors.

Hidden away in the quaint fishing village of Puerto Juarez, our No. 6 pick is close to Cancun, yet worlds away from the downtown strip’s all-night party scene. Call it a haven of rest and relaxation, or simply the ideal destination for your spring break family vacation. We prefer to call it by its given name, Blue Bay Club Cancun!

Blue Bay Club Cancun offers couples and families alike the luxury you’d expect from an all-inclusive Cancun vacation. But Blue Bay Club also offers something extra: a sense of privacy and seclusion that gives this ever-popular resort the feel of a private coastal Mexico retreat. Maybe it’s the 800 ft. of white sand beach it fronts, which boast the water sport adventures that Cancun is known for without the trademark crowds. It could be the full activity calendar that transforms even the shy at heart into eager social butterflies. Perhaps it’s just the simple fact that everyone finds something to love about this particular Cancun resort! Limitless drinks may carry more weight with some crowds, but as a parent with growing teens in tow, you can truly appreciate the value that comes with all you can eat. From frosty glasses of virgin piña coladas to plate after plate piled high with authentic south-of-the-border cuisine, every family member is treated to their share of Mexican fare at Blue Bay Club Cancun!

Highlights

Savor the catch of the day at Ostras and Oysters, Blue Bay Club’s lighthouse-inspired restaurant.
