Thinking of spending your honeymoon in Cancun? Check out our tips on how to make the decision and enjoy your trip as a couple.

Is it worth spending your honeymoon in Cancun?

The decision to spend your honeymoon in Cancun (or any other destination) depends very much on your tastes and preferences. Cancun is famous for its stunning beaches, luxury all-inclusive resorts, lively nightlife and a variety of water and cultural activities.

In our opinion, it’s the perfect destination for a quiet, warm and romantic honeymoon. And so, yes, it’s worth spending this “event” in your life in this destination. If you’ve already chosen to spend your honeymoon there, it’s worth taking a look at our sightseeing tips:

What to do and how to plan:

• Paradise beaches: Cancun is famous for its white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. If you’re a fan of paradise beaches, Cancun could be an excellent choice.

• Luxury resorts: the region has a wide range of all-inclusive resorts, many of which offer exclusive services for honeymooners. It’s a good choice for having a relaxing and romantic time, without worrying about what you’re going to eat each day, or running the risk of “not having enough to do” (because the resorts are very complete). We particularly recommend Iberostar, Riu Caribe, Occidental Costa, Riu Palace and others. See a complete list here.

• Nightlife: Cancun is known for its lively nightlife, with lots of bars, clubs and restaurants. If you like going out at night, this could be a plus point.
• Romantic dinners: as we said, most resorts are all-inclusive, so you can eat different dishes in different restaurants within your accommodation. But if you’re looking for a special dinner, we highly recommend two restaurants: Puerto Madero and Lorenzillo’s Cancún, both with sea views.
• Culture and History: Beyond the beaches and resorts, the region offers the opportunity to explore the rich Mexican culture and nearby Mayan archaeological sites such as Chichen Itzá and Tulum. It’s not to be missed, as is a trip to at least one Cenote. You can do this tour together, with all transportation included, through an agency (we’ve done it and recommend it here).

Important tip: Cancun is a city with many beautiful neighborhoods and tourist attractions, such as day trips and tours. That’s why our tip is to always buy your tickets in advance. We buy everything on this website that has the best price.

How much does a honeymoon in Cancun cost?

It’s important to consider the budget available for your honeymoon – and at this point, Cancun can offer accommodation and activity options for different price ranges. The cost of a honeymoon in Cancun can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the time of year, the length of stay, the type of accommodation chosen, the activities planned and the couple’s lifestyle.

We also remind you that the high season in Cancun usually occurs during the winter months, especially from December to April. Prices can be higher during this period due to the pleasant climate. The low season, from May to November, can offer more affordable prices, but it is also the rainy season.
