The JW Marriott Cancun, with its marble, pillared lobby adorned with fresh flowers, exudes an elegant feel. Like the Ritz-Carlton Cancun, Marriott's other, nearby flagship property, the JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa rates Five Diamonds from AAA. Although lacking the cachet of the Ritz (as well as its antiques), the JW Marriott offers luxury, but at rates typically 20 to 30 percent less than those of the Ritz-Carlton Cancun.

From the JW's lobby, a large Palladian window offers views of the outdoor waterscape of free-form pools and the turquoise Caribbean just beyond. Like most of the resorts along Cancun's hotel zone, the JW Marriott now fronts an appealing swath of sand, wider by 50+ feet as a result of Cancun's multi-million dollar beach restoration project, completed in December 2009.

Another reason to choose the JW: its exceptional 35,000-square-foot spa that's ranked amongst Mexico's and the Caribbean's best. With children happily engaged in activities, pamper yourself with Mayan-themed treatments or go for a soothing—and quiet—swim in the adults-only, indoor swimming pool.
