Local colour

Don't underestimate the midday sun in Cancun. Even if a hotel looks close on a map, walking between attractions like Louis Tussaud's Wax Museum Cancún and your resort can be draining. Always factor in hydration and the potential need for a quick taxi, especially if you're not accustomed to tropical heat.

Many resorts here are self-contained worlds, so if you're staying at one, plan your excursions to the museum and elsewhere deliberately, rather than expecting to pop back and forth easily throughout the day.
