There is a reason that Cancun is a top honeymoon location year after year. With its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and world-class resorts, this tropical paradise is the ideal destination for newlyweds. From romantic candlelight beachfront dinners, to alluring, adult-only suites and cultural adventures, Cancun offers endless opportunities to start your marriage in honeymoon bliss. Let’s discover why Cancun is one of the top honeymoon destinations in the world.
THE FOUNDATION: IS A HONEYMOON NECESSARY?
In the last few years, there has been much discussion about whether a honeymoon is still worth investing in, and research shows that having an official honeymoon can have a profound effect on your new marriage. A well-plannned honeymoon sets the tone for your marriage, where you both have time to unplug, spend some much-needed time together without worrying about anything, and make happy memories together. On the other hand, if you have a honeymoon that goes off the rails, where you are experiencing disappointment and more stress, it can hurt your marriage as well. So, one of the first things you need to get right is your honeymoon location and resort. Here are some of my recommended resorts for a superb honeymoon.

THINGS TO DO IN CANCUN ON YOUR HONEYMOON
For honeymoon couples looking to mix romance with adventure, Cancun offers a variety of activities and excursions that you and your new spouse can enjoy while you make new memories together. Enjoy a leisurely half-day catamaran cruise to nearby Isla Mujeres, where you can snorkel in crystal-clear waters, enjoy a gourmet lunch, and explore the island’s quaint shops and cafes. If you love ancient ruins, you can take a day trip to the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum or Chichen Itza. If you want more natural adventure, you can take a day trip to Xplor Adventure Park or ride an ATV through the jungle. Tequila tasting, and visiting stunning cenotes ( natural freshwater sinkholes) are always a hit. Having your honeymoon in Cancun, you won’t have to worry about getting bored, that’s for sure! I have created an excursion guide to help you narrow down your choice of excursions. You can request one here.
No matter what you here in the media, Cancun remains arguably one of the safest places to vacation, especially when you stay at resort properties or take tours set up through a legitimate tour company. Cancun’s leading economy is driven by tourism, and there is a strong focus on protection and safety for everyone who visits Cancun. With that said, Cancun is still a major city, and just like if you are visiting Chicago, Detroit, Miami, and other major cities in the US, you need to be smart and take certain precautions, such as staying in the Hotel Zone and other popular tourist areas that are heavily guarded, and avoiding areas that are known for problems or high crime. I can tell you that any honeymoon travel agent with a quality business will NEVER recommend any location that isn’t safe.
Your honeymoon is just the beginning of your new life together. With its perfect blend of romance, relaxation and excitement, Cancun offers a dreamlike setting to newlyweds. You’ll grow your love, bond, and make memories with each other as you remember the laughter, love , and the breathtaking moments that made your honeymoon so special.
As you can see, Cancun is an excellent location for a romantic and luxurious honeymoon, but getting the right resort and honeymoon package will make a big difference in your honeymoon bliss.
