Best Cancun Airbnbs FAQ
Is it better to stay in an Airbnb or a hotel in Cancún?
It depends on your trip: an Airbnb gives you more space, a kitchen and often a private pool, while a hotel or resort takes care of meals and housekeeping for you.
Some places on this list give you a bit of both, like Casa EnMar, where a cook is included in your stay.
What is the best area to stay in Cancún?
Stay in the Hotel Zone if you want to be right on the beach, Downtown if you want local restaurants and markets, or Puerto Cancún if you want marina views and a big mall nearby.
Downtown also puts you close to Mercado 28 and Parque de las Palapas, with the Hotel Zone a short ride away.
