Staying near Hotel Zone Cancun as first-time visitors to Cancun was the best pick for us. After a full day of sightseeing, we are back in the Hotel Zone for some great meals at vibrant restaurants. Many choices in the vicinity and always crowded especially during the weekends. Our favorite restaurants are Restaurante Hacienda El Mortero and Restaurante Mextreme. Also enjoyed the Mariachi Band music during dinner time.
