23 years ago, Cancun is located in Yucatan and was an unknown fisherman's village with only 117 inhabitants. Today, it offers deluxe modern hotels, a convention center; and two 18-hole golf courses one designed by Robert Trent Jones, quality restaurants, and shops. Cancun is located to one side of the northeastern end of Yucatan peninsula. 347 miles south of Miami. Shaped like a "7", the island is 13 miles long and about a third of a mile wide. Cancun's location on the Yucatan peninsula makes it readily accessible to some of the most important Mayan archeological areas. And an hour by air from Miami, nestled on the eastern coast of the vast, mysterious Yucatan Peninsula, Cancun is Mexico's number one tourist destination.

Created in the 70's, Mexico's youngest and most luxurious tourist destination sports a base population of 800,000 residents and with that a first-class infrastructure for Cancun's stellar hotels. Excellent weather, facilities, and the do-word of all premium resorts - location, location, location - means that visitors get the best services possible, not to mention the highest concentration of luxury hotels in the Caribbean, with jungles and ruins right next door.
Cancun is divided into two parts. The narrow 23-kilometer-long (14-mile) island section (Cancun Island) is lined with modern beachfront hotels surrounded by the Bahia de Mujeres (Bay of Women), the Caribbean Sea, and the Nichupte and Bojorquez lagoons. Each end of the boomerang-shaped islet is connected to the mainland by bridges, the southernmost connecting to the airport and the highway south. To the north, the bridge connects the Hotel Zone with Cancun 'Centro' on the mainland. 'El Centro' has colorful shops, restaurants and smaller hotels catering more to European and national tourism.

Cancun weather is friendly, with an average at 80° F (27° C). With an annual 240 days of sunshine, rain is rare. Beaches are almost 100% limestone outcroppings covered with Caribbean sand - comes from naturally processed shell and coral, so unlike quartz beaches to the north and the south, our sand stays cool even on the hottest of days.
