Presidente InterContinental Cancún is a classic luxury hotel on the bay side of the Hotel Zone, known for one of the calmest beaches in Cancún. The best light is the hour before sunset; families with toddlers do better at sunrise. Sessions from 245 USD.
Whether you are a couple, a family or three generations together, a session at Presidente InterContinental Cancún works best when the hour and the spot are chosen for this beach. Here is our plan.
The Session at a Glance
- HotelInterContinental (IHG), on the calm bay side
- Beach facesNorth, onto the calm Bahía de Mujeres
Where We Shoot
The calm beach. Clear, still water that photographs like a lagoon, perfect for children and for in-the-water frames.
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
How does the photographer get in? As your guest. Tell the Presidente InterContinental Cancún front desk our name and the time of the session in advance, and we check in at the lobby like anyone meeting you for dinner. A short private session for a staying guest is very seldom charged the outside vendor fee used for weddings, and we confirm the current policy with the resort in writing. Non-guests should plan for a day pass, as our access guide explains.
