Le Blanc

Top choice in Cancún


You can't miss the glaring white exterior of the aptly named Le Blanc, arguably Cancún's most sophisticated resort. This adults-only retreat comes with all the amenities you'd expect in this category: gorgeous infinity pool, cold welcome drink on check-in, scented hand towels – the works. There's even butler service should life in Cancún become too complicated. Discounts for multiple-night stays.

Guests get free valet parking as well.
