Our favourite places to propose in the Hotel Zone are the Cliff Gazebo at Hyatt Ziva, the Wind Terrace at Le Blanc, the lagoon at sunset and a quiet stretch of beach at sunrise.
The perfect place depends on how private you want it, and on whether you want people watching. We have listed options for each. All of them work better with a photographer hiding nearby.
Dramatic Settings
Hyatt Ziva: gazebos on the rocks at Punta Cancun. Coral Beach: a small beach with the lighthouse. Le Blanc: the Wind Terrace over the lagoon.
Very Private
NIZUC: an adults-only beach at the end of the boulevard. Kempinski: the far end of a 400 metre beach. Any open-sea beach at sunrise.
A Real Sunset
The Nichupté Lagoon is the only place where the sun goes down over water. Ask 30 minutes before sunset.
