HOTEL DEL SOL, Cancun

The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the beach and a 7-minute walk from the Gran Puerto Cancún shopping centre. The Cancun Bus Station is 4 km away. A bus stop directly in front of the hotel provides frequent services to the Hotel Zone (beaches and resorts) and to central Cancun, roughly a 10-minute ride. The property is 22 km from Cancún International Airport, a 45-minute taxi drive. Dozens of casual restaurants and bars are within a 5-10 minute walk, including Puerto Juarez Brewery and several seafood spots.

Rooms are suitable for a short, budget-focused stay but are noted as compact and dated. Each room has a private bathroom with a shower (low water pressure has been reported), air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a work desk, and free toiletries. Some rooms include a terrace and soundproofing. The Junior Suite offers a spacious seating area and ocean views. Standard and Suite options are smaller. No fridge, kettle, or coffee machine is provided in the rooms; hot and cold water is available from a dispenser in the lobby. The property lacks an elevator, and rooms are on upper floors accessible by stairs.

The on-site restaurant is currently not operating for lunch or dinner, and breakfast is not being provided. Guests should plan to eat out. Over a dozen casual eateries are within a 5-minute walk, including Taqueria Los 3 Reyes, 100% Natural, and Mar-Bella Rawbar & Grill, offering tacos, seafood, and Mexican fare. Fresh drinking water and instant coffee can be prepared using the hot water dispenser in the lobby.

Wellness and leisure facilities are limited to a rooftop terrace. The closest beach, Puerto Juarez Beach, is a 5-minute walk away. For a wider beach experience, take the bus from the stop in front of the hotel to the Hotel Zone beaches in about 10 minutes. The ferry terminal to Isla Mujeres is within walking distance (round-trip ferry ~$462 MXN, departing every 30 minutes).

Parking is free and does not require a reservation; a parking garage is also available. The property does not have its own airport shuttle, but taxis are available in front from 06:30; advance transfer arrangements can be made from the airport. Late check-in is possible. Safety deposit boxes, 24-hour security, and smoke alarms are in place. Concierge and tour desk services help with local trip planning. Luggage storage is free.
