According to Trip Advisor, out of the TOP 25 Hotels in Cancun, only 3 are from the central part of the city and the rest are from the hotel zone. So, why are central hotels often overlooked by tourists when travelling to Cancun?
Location, location, location. Central hotels are often located in the heart of the city, which is perfect for travellers who want to be able to walk to nearby restaurants, bars, and clubs. The central hotels are also close to the Cancun bus station, so it’s easy to get around the city without having to worry about renting a car or taking a taxi.
Another perk of staying in a central hotel is that you can save money by cooking your own meals in the hotel room. Most of the hotels in the central area have small kitchensette areas, which come in handy if you want to prepare some of your own meals.
Central hotels are also great for budget-minded travellers. Rates for rooms in these hotels are often much cheaper than the rates for rooms in the hotel zone.
And finally, the central hotels offer a much more authentic Mexican experience. You’ll get to see how the locals live and you’ll be able to explore all of the great restaurants and bars that the city has to offer.
