Grand, expansive, and fully equipped, this is a true resort in every sense of the word. The Hilton Cancún sits on 100 hectares (247 acres) of prime beachside property, a location that gives every room a sea view (some have both sea and lagoon views), with an 18-hole par-72 golf course across the street. Like the sprawling resort, rooms are grandly spacious and immaculately decorated in minimalist style, and following Hurricane Wilma, all received an update. It's a very kid-friendly hotel, with one of the island's best children's activity programs, special children's pool, and babysitting available. The hotel's spectacular multisection swimming pool stretches out to the gorgeous beach. The Hilton is especially appealing to golfers because it's one of only two in Cancún with an on-site course (the other is the Meliá). Greens fees for guests are $99 (£54) for 9 holes, $149 (£82) for 18 holes, and include the use of a cart. The Wellness Spa includes oceanfront massage cabañas, yoga, and aromatherapy. This Hilton has a friendly and energetic vibe and boasts wonderful service for such a large resort.
