Heads up
Seaweed risk: moderate
Cancun generally experiences sargassum. While the resort staff works diligently to maintain the beachfront, some reviews mention that sargassum cleaning could be improved.
Dazzling stretch of white sand beach, framed by tropical vegetation and crystal clear turquoise water. Part of the beach is sandy with chairs and umbrellas. Some areas have rocky outcroppings, suggesting water shoes, with better ocean entry a short walk east.
