Cancun Bay Resort is an all-inclusive near the start of the Hotel Zone, on the calm north shore facing the Bahía de Mujeres. Book the last hour of daylight, or sunrise with small children. Our sessions start at 245 USD and arrive in one to three business days.
Whether you are a couple, a family or three generations together, a session at Cancun Bay Resort works best when the hour and the spot are chosen for this beach. Here is our plan.

Where We Shoot
The bay shore. Calm, shallow water: the easiest beach in Cancún for small children and for walking into the sea.
The water's edge. We always finish at the shoreline, away from the pools and loungers, where the background is only sea and sky.
Nearby. Public beaches along this shore, such as Playa Langosta and Playa Tortugas, have the same calm water if you want a second setting.

The bay is calm and shallow, ideal for children, and in summer the sun sets over the water to the west; in winter, the hour before sunset gives soft, even light on the sand.
How the Photographer Gets In
Access is simple for guests of Cancun Bay Resort. Put the photographer's name on your reservation at the front desk with the time of the session, and we meet you in the lobby. Resorts usually reserve their outside vendor fee for weddings, so a private session for a staying guest is very seldom charged, though we always confirm the current rule in writing first. Visitors who are not staying at the resort normally need a day pass; this guide explains how it works.
