If you’ve ever been to Cancun you know that all the major chain hotels are located along the same strip as the airport, and you know that they are extremely in need of more space. Along comes NIZUC Resort & Spa, which is the answer to all our privacy problems. Sleek and modern, NIZUC is a far cry from the over-touristy hotels in Cancun, and you won’t find anyone chugging down a Sex On The Beach. Sophistication is the focal point of this hotel and they definitely have upheld this over the years.
With 274 accommodation types to chose from, there will always be something for everyone. Stay in one of their Ocean Suite, Residence Suites, or Private Villas. Opt for the Master Suite, which comes with panoramic views of the ocean (something you definitely want if you’re traveling to Cancun), one king bed and separate living room, and 30 meter private infinity pool. If you’re traveling with a family or larger party, opt for the NIZUC Villa. This 5,380 sq ft villa features one king bedroom suite, which boasts a spectacular 409 sq. ft. rooftop sundeck, and a lush 2,770 sq. ft. tropical garden with a stunning infinity pool.
You’ll never have to venture out of the hotel to eat because there are 6 dining options available- you’ll never have to eat the same thing twice. There’s Ramona, which serves contemporary Mexican overlooking the beach, Indochine (the best pad thai ever), Terra Nostra (you can only eat so much Mexican food so sample some Mediterranean delicacies), Ni (Peruvian), Cafe de la Playa, and the casual La Punta Grill & Lounge. I definitely recommend Ni for lunch because the view is stunning.
NIZUC is also one of the most perfect balances between adult time and family time. NIZUC has a kids club, called Winik’s Kids Club, that has offers snorkeling and other such water activities from ages 3-14. There is a main pool, suitable for all ages, and also an adults-only pool and section, both offer a swim up bar and small bites. Fun fact: NIZUC is the only resort in Cancun that has views of the sunrise AND sunset. Every Thursday the hotel also offers a cigar roller and live Cuban jazz.
