Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Full of energy, this is a grand resort in every sense of the word. The Hilton Cancún sits on 100 hectares (247 acres) of prime beachside property, which means every room has a sea view (some have both sea and lagoon views). And there's an 18-hole par-72 golf course across the street. Like the sprawling resort, guest rooms are spacious and decorated in minimalist style. The Beach Club villas are the largest and best-located rooms, and come with continental breakfast and an evening cocktail hour. This Hilton is a kid-friendly hotel, with one of the island's best children's activity programs, children's pool, and babysitting. The spectacular multi-section swimming pool stretches out to the gorgeous beach. The Hilton is especially appealing to golfers because it's one of only two in Cancún with an on-site course (the other is the Meliá). Greens fees for guests during high season are $99 (£50) for 9 holes, $149 (£75) for 18 holes (low season discounts offered), and comes with use of a cart. The Wellness Spa includes oceanfront massage cabañas, yoga, and aromatherapy. This Hilton has a friendly vibe and boasts excellent service. Facilities: 4 restaurants; 2 bars; 7 interconnected outdoor pools w/swim-up bar; golf course across the street; golf clinic; 2 lighted tennis courts; Wellness Spa and fully equipped gym; 2 whirlpools; watersports center; Kids' Club; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; salon; room service; babysitting; laundry service
