Escape the Ordinary

Cancun Mexico - your home away from home

Affordable, Accessible, Luxurious, with a climate that will make your soul smile.

The very word Cancun has a magical effect on Canadians, especially in the winter months. Cancun is Mexico's number one tourist destination at an international level, and with good reason. Marvelous climate, convenient location, coupled with amazing natural and cultural attractions, make this city a favorite.  Four million visitors arrive each year in an average of 190 flights daily.

Cancun has evolved over the years from a sandbar that was only known by local fishermen to what has become one of the most exciting vacation destinations in the world.  Service standards are very high here, not the sleepy attitude which sometimes prevails in more laid back resorts.

During the day,  join the bronzed bodies on the endless stretch of white sand beaches: volleyball, sailing and windsurfing are sure to be on tap.  Experience the delights of the underwater world on a snorkeling trip or your first scuba dive.  If you prefer to stay on the dry side of water, deep-sea sport fishing is always a thrill.

Ashore, enjoy serveral championship 18 hole golf courses; or if you prefer the indoors, prepare to hone your shopping skills at one of the sparkling malls located throughout Cancun.

Day trips include the stunning Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza, Cancun's interactive aquarium, and quiet Isla Mujeres.

You'll find more than 500 restaurants offering the best in national and international dishes. Choose anywhere from fabulous high-end cuisine to fast food. For local dishes, try the Mayan cuisine from Pacal and La Habichuela, and don't forget to stop by the famous La Placita or La Parrilla, which serve tacos and are local favourites.

Clubs, bars, live music venues and fiesta nights are all part of the nightlife. Visit the world famous nightclubs of Daddy O's, Coco Bongo, The City and La Boom.

The temperature of the city is warm and tropical, moderated by the marine breezes created by onshore trade-winds, which circulates through its avenues.

Within Cancun City, a new City is being built - Puerto Cancun. This gated community offers everything you will want: ocean access and views, golf, marina, shopping, all within walking distance.  As it is a gated community, your mind can be at ease knowing that you and your family are safe and secure.
