Ocean views, 11 restaurants and bars and a private beachfront make this Marriott resort a perfect romantic getaway in Cancun.

Check-in, enjoy the outdoor swimming pool or a Thermal Experience at the NIZUC’s hydrotherapy spa, then start progressing through the six gourmet restaurants. Ramona restaurant offers contemporary Mexican cuisine on the beach, Indochine serves up a taste of Vietnam, Ni offers Chilean specialties, La Punta Grill & Lounge cooks steak and seafood to perfection, Terra Nostra fires up the pizza oven in the evening and Cafe de la Playa is the place to go for breakfast.

Order an ice-cold margarita to your sun lounger as you admire the romantic view of the lagoon from the Wander Rooftop terrace after checking into Canopy by Hilton Cancun La Isla. If the heat gets too much, then cool off in the rooftop plunge pool, or head down to the Canopy Central Bar where sommeliers lead daily wine and beer tastings for guests. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all served at Azulinda Cafe & Bar, where the focus is on serving fresh produce sourced from downtown Cancun’s local markets.

8. The Royal Sands Resort & Spa, for all-inclusive bliss

Swim up to the bar, order mojitos, then take a moment to enjoy the uninterrupted view over the Atlantic Ocean from the edge of the Royal Sands All Inclusive Resort & Spa’s glorious infinity pool. Luxury suites at this all-inclusive come with fully equipped kitchens, but given the gourmet room service and dining options at the resort, you’ll probably only ever use the fridge to keep your cervezas cool. Captain’s Cove serves up lobster tail and freshly caught fish, El Conquistador is known for its prime cuts of steak and Hacienda Sisal offers premium mezcals and Mexican favorites.
