Fodor's Expert Review JW Marriott Cancún Resort & Spa

Plush is the name of the game at this towering beach resort, where manicured lawns are threaded with an expansive maze of pools, and large vaulted windows let sunlight stream into a lobby that features marble floors and beautiful flower arrangements. All rooms have ocean views, private balconies, and wall-to-wall carpeting. Two of the hotel's best features are its three-level, 35,000-square-foot spa with an indoor pool and its 20-foot dive pool with an artificial reef, where you can practice snorkeling and scuba diving. If you're traveling during hurricane season, take note: JW Marriott is the only Cancún property able to withstand a level-five hurricane.
