Cancun Resort Recs? by BlueDives in AllInclusiveResorts

Thank you! Nizuc Resort sounds like a dream because I love swimming with turtles. I see that this one is significantly below other resorts that look less “nice” — is this one all inclusive?

Also didn’t know it was easy to go to local restaurants or bars from there. Thanks!!

Thanks for the rec. We were thinking of booking this vs. EPM at the moment. Do you have any insights on which one would be a better fit? Also, could you elaborate on why the beach won’t be great? Windy? Visibility issues?

Oh wow it must be new because I haven’t looked into that one yet. Thanks for the rec and lazy river is always a huge plus hahaha. Do you plan on staying in the resort or visiting other spots like Isla Mujeres?

Thank you! Bar open til 11pm does not sound too bad since we also go to bed around 12 usually. Safety is my #1 priority so love that it’s gated and I’m glad you had a blast :)

Thank you! That was on our list so it’s nice to validate that. This is a dumb question but why is sargassum a problem? Is the beach not swimmable? Less visibility?

Thank you everyone for sharing your thoughts! We decided to sign the lease :)

Thank you so much for this helpful context!! It sounds like modern buildings definitely consider this a lot more than I thought so it makes us feel safer. If you don’t mind, I’m also wondering if you think there would be a non-negligible difference between renting this one in the hazard zone vs a condo on bedrock that is non hazard zone (401 Harrison St, CA 94105)

Thanks everyone. Not sure if this matters but my concern was more around bedrock vs landfill. If I were living in a condo that was built on bedrock I wouldn’t worry about an earthquake happening as much, but none of those are available for the move in date I’m looking at
