Best Honeymoon Resorts in Cancun
I selected out 4 best all-inclusive resorts for honeymoon in Cancun based on my special criteria. All of them are located either in the golden mile, Hotel Zone, or in the remote and tranquil Playa Mujeres overlooking the secluded island Isla Mujeres.
Below are the details of my evaluation about the 4 resorts, along with real-customer reviews I collected. Refer to it for your honeymoon plan. Check the rate and availability of the one that you’re satisfied with.
1. Excellence Playa Mujeres
36 min to Cancún International Airport (Free Transfer)
5-Star, reference price from $560
Honeymoon package: complimentary when staying over 6 days
24h in-room dining, beach- & poolside service, night shows
What I like:
- Vigorus tropical greenery covered
- Enough and various seats on the beach: cabanas, thatched pavilions, hammocks
- Abundant dining choices receiving consistent accolades
- Spa Garden: spacious and world-class
- Near the island Isa Mujeres for underwater museum, snorkeling, diving and catamaran tours
What to consider:
- Remote and tranquil
- Away from city water parks, public sports clubs and shopping destinations
Excellence Playa Mujeres just went through a renovation in 2023, with exclusive sophistication at a fair price. Enough greenery, enough dining options, enough wellness and enough romance — That’s how “excellent” this resort is. And when you dive into details of real personal experiences at this resort, you’ll find it superb at almost every aspect that most travelers care about:
The maintenance of the beach and the pools are frequently applauded. Rooms are spacious and clean enough to garner multiple mentions in reviews on popular travel sites. The staff service is simply attentive and seamless. For example, your concierge would check in with you proactively, sending champagne, chocolates and meals to your room when you use the room service. The abundant dining options cover all kinds of needs. To name a few: 10 bars, 9 à la carte restaurants with constently updated menus, in-house and in-pool dining, sports bar, the lobster house and the grill house, etc. And many praise the dining experience, claiming there’s not one restaurant that’s below the expectations.
The honeymoon package itself deserves your favor. It’s free of charge and valid the whole 3 months after your wedding. The honeymoon package includes designs for your whole stay here, from the welcome kit to the check-out service, inside room for romantic preparations and out for spa and photo taking.
When it comes to the wellness experience, the rich offerings are spoilt for choice. Especially in the garden of Miilé SPA, I highly recommend you to try the hydrotherapy (free for some room types) and the couples massage.
AMAZING CLEAN BEAUTIFUL resort!!! Spent 9 days here on our honeymoon and I was blown away. The restaurant choices were absolutely fantastic and the food was delicious! Jacob was our server on the beach almost everyday that we were there and he remembered our drinks, always came with new ones without even asking, and always made sure we were okay…

2. Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun
25 min to Cancún International Airport (Free Transfer)
5-Star, reference price from $800
Honeymoon suite & special complimentary package
Butler service, free spa & yoga / day, Jacuzzi, infinity pool
What I like:
- Luxurious and private wellness experience
- Top dining experience
- Meticulous butler service
- Romantic and unique designs for honeymoon couples
- Near the airport and downtown
What to consider:
- Your budget
- Tense room availability in peak season
Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun is the carnation of luxury. Its history dates back to 1980s and it got renovated in 2019. So you may expect to get immaculate staff service and to enjoy well maintained facilities at the same time.
The first to mention is the palatal pleasure that Le Blanc Spa provides. You can see accolades on it in almost every guest review. Some regular customer even said that the dining experience is the reason why they keep turning back. And if you’re a fan of liquor, the dispenser equipped in-room is definitely a plus to you.
A perfect dining experience can’t exist without high-quality service. The meticulous and seamless service style permeates in every part of your stay here. And I highly recommend you to try the butler service. One butler means first a tailored honeymoon schedule from the check-in to the check-out, covering details like your flight itinerary, restaurant booking and so on. Then you’ll have the best room service, with your shoes forever shining, clothes always ironed, and romantic add-ons everywhere.
The world-class wellness programs are what the resort brands itself proudly. You have the giant spa center with multiple aroma- and hydrotherapy choices, private couple massage rooms and manicure service. When it comes to workouts, from paddleboard yoga to TRX, up to 5 workshops are there for you to pick.
At last I have to emphasize the perfect honeymoon offerings. First the honeymoon package is complimentary. And there’s a honeymoon suite you can book. It’s oceanfront with a lover’s tub. And you can even choose to hold your wedding here and then earn a free honeymoon stay.
We stayed in the Honeymoon suite and the views are breathtaking. The butlers are so extremely helpful and friendly. Every staff member is so accommodating and genuinely wants to help you have a wonderful time. We did the hydrotherapy and massage as well as the romantic beach dinner. Food is one of the most important parts of an all inclusive and le Blanc really delivers in that aspect.

3. Coral Level at Iberostar Selection Cancún
13 min to Cancún International Airport (Free Transfer)
5-Star, reference price from $490
Honeymoon: Sky Palapas
Couple massage, golf, tennis, wine tasting, diving
What I like:
- Direct access to the beach and convenient to core amenities
- All rooms oceanfront with stunning sea view
- Shared public facilities within the area of Iberostar Selection: golf, tennis, football, diving, etc.
- Near the airport and downtown
- Great night shows and entertainments
What to consider:
- No special offerings for honeymoon
- Mediocre gastronomy
Coral Level at Iberostar Selection Cancún, opened in 2018, is the new adults-only resort property of Iberostar in Cancun. Though without special treats for honeymoon couples, its advantages for a perfect vacation of two are so outstanding and unique that I put it into this list.
This resort consists of just one boutique building with all other Iberostar public facilities around in a larger area. All the rooms are 100% oceanfront with a balcony showing the stunning and unobstructed view. On every balcony, you have a tub or a pool equipped, allowing you to enjoy the scenery in the water with your loved one.
The beach is so near that you get immediately on it when stepping out of the gate. The cleanliness of the beach and pools is always mentioned in guest reviews. Actually not just the beach, but all the core amenities like restaurants and bars are within easy reach.
In the larger area there are a spa center, an 18-hole golf course, 10 pools of different types (eg. cabana pool), a beauty salon, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts, a FIFA football pitch and a diving center, etc. Different shows are put on everyday. And all these are for you to enjoy if you choose to spend your honeymoon at Coral Level.
Last but not least, I highly recommend you to try the couple massage at Sky Palapas. It’s an outdoor massage space at the top of the hotel. You get to taste the intimacy and relaxation overlooking the gorgeous Caribbean Sea.
We ended up going here for our honeymoon and I wouldn’t have changed It for the world. The entertainment events/shows at night were great! Yoania was also a wonderful manager for the coral level food. She hosted a BBQ night and it was amazing. Lastly, the atmosphere was very relaxing. There is a beautiful salt water pool that overlooks the ocean. Then there is a stunning beach with comfortable beach chairs.

4. Beloved Playa Mujeres
35 min to Cancún International Airport
5-Star, reference price from $560
Honeymoon: complimentary & paid packages
3 pools, 4 outdoor jacuzzis, night live shows, 12 dining options, seasonal spa offerings
What I like:
- Boutique value: serene location & meticulous service
- Room spacious and clean
- Near the island Isa Mujeres for underwater museum, snorkeling, diving and deepsea fishing
- Tropical greenery covered
- Live music events
What to consider:
- Building blocks not right next to the beach
- Only little renovation in the suites in 2023
If you’re a fan of boutique hotels and want your honeymoon to be more idyllic and away from the crowds, Beloved Playa Mujeres can be your one pick in Cancun. It’s opened in 2009 under the Excellence Collection and has been dedicated to exclusive service for couples since 2016.
The exquisite suites are not many, packed in a tropical area, with 3 big swimming pools surrounded tightly. So I suggest that you book the swim-up suite and get fully soaked in the ambience. The staff team can serve all the guests with more details and passion, cooking you tailored food, lifeguarding you, allocating you a hostess of your room and a concierge at beach and so on.
The spa products are especially designed for couples. You have more than just couple massages, but also treatments and rituals in private couple rooms. Among all these I have to mention the seasonal spa offerings that differ from time to time. They are a time-limited surprise and a kind of extra romance for lovers in their honeymoon.
The dining and drinking options are stunningly abundant for a boutique resort. You’ll be surprised that you can find so many different styles of bars. But whether the food and liquor is good enough vary in opinions from past customers.
At last I have to introduce the elaborated honeymoon packages. Yes, you can experience a complimentary one naturally when you’re having a holiday longer than 7 days here within 3 months after your wedding. And there’s a paid one including more offerings like a beachfront dinner, a massage ritual, etc.
Beloved is the perfect resort for couples looking for excellent service and modern small elegant hotel ! The beach was amazing the food top notch the rooms huge clean and the best part … staff is incredible !!!
