JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa is on Paseo Kukulcán at kilometer 14.5 in Cancún's Zona Hotelera, in Quintana Roo on Mexico's Caribbean coast. The resort fronts the beach between the Caribbean side of the hotel zone and the lagoon, and sits about 20 to 30 minutes by road from Cancún International Airport. The Zona Hotelera's shopping centers, restaurants and nightlife are a short taxi or bus ride away on the R-1 and R-2 routes, and the ferries to Isla Mujeres leave from terminals to the north. The resort is a large, modern high-rise beach property in the Marriott luxury tier, with an emphasis on spacious rooms, terraces and ocean views. Rooms range from ocean-view rooms to junior suites and a presidential suite. Several restaurants serve Mexican, Italian and seafood menus, along with beachfront dining and poolside service, and breakfast is generally an extensive buffet. The spa offers massages, body treatments and a hydrotherapy circuit, and the property has multiple pools, a fitness center and a kids club, making it popular with families as well as couples. Service is polished and resort-style, with a concierge desk able to arrange excursions to Chichén Itzá, Tulum, Isla Mujeres and snorkeling in the Caribbean. Rates from about $300 to $800 per night vary strongly by season, with the highest in December to April. Visitors should note that sargassum seaweed can affect Caribbean beaches in some months and that swimming conditions on the open Caribbean side can change with currents, so checking beach flags is advisable.
