Royal Solaris Cancun
Amenity highlights: One pool complex comprises an expansive two-level pool, with the upper level cascading into a two-section lower level featuring a swim-up bar. A second pool complex features a "quiet" pool and two 20-person spa tubs overlooking the sea. Fronting the resort is part of the 10-km (six-mile) beach running along Cancún Island's eastern shore. The beach is powdery white sand with some rocks.
Insider tip: Among the three courtyards in the resort's seaside-village section is one tucked away that offers privacy, quiet, and shade for reading and conversation.
