The Cancun Convention and Visitors Bureau recently announced a year on year increase in global visitor numbers of 7.5% for 2014. There were more than 4 million tourist arrivals at Cancun International Airport last year and nearly 4.5 million are expected in 2015. To meet the increased demand from holiday makers and business travellers alike there has been a recent flurry of quality hotel openings in the Mexican resort city.

Starwoodโ€™s new Four Points by Sheraton Cancun Centro opened its doors in February. Just 10 miles from Cancun International Airport, the 112-room property is located in Cancunโ€™s bustling Downtown close to lively restaurants, bars and chic shopping arcades. It is the first Four Points property to open in the region and includes four luxurious junior suites and a cool rooftop pool with stunning views across the city. With over 3,000 square feet of events space, a cutting edge business centre and free fast WiFi throughout, it is the perfect location to for those seeking state of the art facilities. Whether on holiday or on business guests can relax in the hotel bar or sample delicious cuisine at the hip Tostina Gourmet restaurant or the less formal B&R Eatery.

Opened in November, the 5 star Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort & Spa invites holiday-makers to experience what it calls โ€˜All-In Luxuryโ€™ with outstanding service and exceptional attention to detail. Situated on the white sands of Riviera Cancun only 15 minutes from the airport, the resort property is perfect for those with the kids in tow or for those on a couples break. With 1,100 luxurious suites, the hotel offers an impressive array of facilities and services including the Royal Spa with a hydrotherapy circuit, a beauty and fitness centre, 10 restaurants, 16 bars, an innovative Kids Club for ages 4-12 and a teenโ€™s lounge for youngsters aged 13-17.

Holiday makers and business travellers seeking affordable accommodation but not wanting to compromise on quality should consider the new brand new Real Inn Hotel Cancun. Located in the vibrant Hotel Zone the property offers a stylish restaurant, lobby bar, outdoor swimming pool and onsite gym. With 160 air-conditioned rooms and high speed WiFi throughout, the hotel makes the perfect base for those wanting to explore the nearby beaches, shops and eateries. Real Inn Hotel Cancun also features two event spaces with room for up to 150 guests and a business centre with 3 meeting rooms.
Other recent openings include the stunning 424 room Secrets Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort and the Contemporary and kid friendly Emporio Family Suites Cancun. There are also plenty of new properties in the planning including the 1,800 room all-inclusive Hard Rock Cancun which is expected to welcome its first guests in 2017.

With more than 32,000 hotel rooms in Cancun, and this figure expected to grow rapidly, there has never been a wider choice of accommodation available to suit all tastes and budgets. Whether on a family break or on a romantic couples retreat, visitors to Cancun can always expect outstanding service, quality of product and value for money
