Riu Cancun (Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico)

Jutting out on a ribbon of brilliant white beach, you can literally feel the sugary sands between your toes at the RIU Cancun. With great views of the Caribbean Sea, this is beachfront living at its best. Plus, this all-inclusive resort is set right at the heart of Cancun’s hotel zone.

It's jam-packed with activities, too. Get into the swing of things with a game of tennis or take the plunge with some of the watersports on offer. And if you’ve got children in tow, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Whether you’re travelling with tots, teens or in betweens, they’ll be kept busy at the kids’ club and family shows.

Of course, you may just want to do, well, not very much in particular. In which case, stretch out on a sunbed looking out over the sparkling sea and take a dip in the lagoon-like pool.

On the dining front there are several restaurants to choose from - everything from buffet eateries to à la carte options serving up Brazilian and Japanese specialities.

Come dark, the curtain goes up on some classy shows and live music. Why not dance the night away at the disco before retiring to your room? Overlooking the shore, open your balcony door and let the sound of the sea drift in and soothe you off to sleep.
