The 307-room, hacienda-style Hyatt Zilara Cancun is one of the area’s top all-inclusive luxury options for adults only, situated along a pristine stretch of beach in the Hotel Zone. The stylish, colonial-inspired rooms all have balconies with phenomenal ocean views and hammocks, as well as whirlpool tubs, rainfall showers, and free daily restocked minibars. Food is excellent at the six restaurants, especially for an all-inclusive resort; the Mexican food at Maria Marie and Asian food at Asiana are particular favorites, and no reservations are required (except for the teppanyaki show and Chef's Plate). The sprawling, beachfront infinity pool is stunning, with a giant swim-up bar at its center, but there are no umbrellas and food isn’t served here. The spa and huge gym also impress, and there are plenty of fun activities, from the weekly foam parties to tequila tastings to live evening shows. The atmosphere here can be a bit lively, so couples seeking a tranquil retreat should consider the nearby Le Blanc Spa Resort, which is arguably the best adults-only all-inclusive in Cancun.

The 376-room Club Med Cancun Yucatan is an all-ages, all-inclusive resort located in Cancun's beautiful, partially secluded area of Punta Nizuc. The $14 million dollar enhancement project (finished in summer 2014) added even more family-friendly features to the hotel, as well as oceanfront rooms, restaurants, and a lounge. Included on-site activities from the flying trapeze and fitness classes, to waterskiing and snorkeling, or strolling the nature-set grounds. However some guests may be disappointed with high Internet fees, dark rooms, a surprisingly small pool, and overall noticeable wear.

Opened in 2013, NIZUC Resort and Spa is a stylish and luxurious 274-suite and villa property situated on 29 acres of peaceful nature preserve in Punta Nizuc. Its mangroves and rocky white-sand beaches help make it an ideal spot for couples and friends to relax and soak in Cancun's sometimes elusive tranquility. Features include a good selection of bars and restaurants, three pools, water sports, and a kids club -- in addition to what is possibly the most impressive spa in town. All rooms have exceptional decor; private villas have dipping pools, large terraces, and outdoor showers. The only other hotel along the Punta Nizuc coastline is the cheaper (and much older) all-inclusive Club Med; travelers will be hard-pressed to find another option in Cancun that matches Nizuc's secluded feel.

Moon Palace Cancun is a gigantic family-friendly all-inclusive luxury resort along Cancun's Riviera Maya, about a 15-minute drive from the airport. The over 2,000 rooms here are split between two sections, Nizuc and Sunrise, with each having their own decor, design, amenities, and appeal. A stellar all-inclusive package covers food and top-shelf liquor at the nearly two dozen restaurants and bars, as well as room service. Multiple outdoor pools with swim-up bars, kiddy pools and a kids’ club, tons of daily activities and sports facilities, a full-service spa and fitness center, and 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course provide ample to keep guests of all ages busy. Unfortunately, beaches in this area of town -- often smelling of and strewn with seaweed -- are far less idyllic than those in the Hotel Zone. But if you aren't bothered about the beach, this is a stellar value. For a kid-friendly hotel in the Hotel Zone, consider the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun.

The upper-middle-range All Ritmo Cancun Resort & Water Park is a family-friendly, all-inclusive located in Puerta Juarez on the northern edge of Cancun, about a 10-minute drive from the Hotel Zone. It's on a small private stretch of beach, and many of the 115 rooms, which include suites, have ocean views. Facilities include a small water park, several sports courts including soccer and tennis, half a dozen dining options, and a kids' club. Some of the rooms are a bit underwhelming, but all have coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, and outdoor spaces. As it's far from the famous Cancun nightlife and shopping, the resort is best suited to families and those seeking an all-inclusive resort at affordable rates away from the hubbub. Travelers could also consider the more centrally located and better maintained Crown Paradise Club Cancun.
