Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Reserve a parking spot in advance if you are driving, as free on-site parking is available but requires a reservation.

  • 02

    Choose a unit with a balcony or terrace if you wish to smoke, as bedrooms and common areas are strictly non-smoking.

  • 03

    Factor in a 45 km taxi or private transfer from Cancun International Airport, as no airport shuttle is offered.
