Everything You Need to Know Before You Go: The Sens Cancun
Thinking of booking a big Mexico escape this year? Then The Sens Cancun has everything you could need – whether you’re travelling with your partner, friends or family. Here’s everything we know about the place, including why we think you’ll love it!
The Sens Cancun is a stunning five-star resort boasting something to suit every taste. From adults-only bliss in the Sian Ka’an section to the fun and frolics of the Kiddo Zone, there’s something for everyone.
Perfectly located just 6 miles from stunning Downtown Cancun and 18 miles from the airport, adults and groups will love the opportunity to get out and explore more of the local scene. Meanwhile, families will be more than happy with the shorter transfer time.
But there’s so much more to enjoy than just that. Let’s dive a little deeper to cover all the incredible reasons that we think you’ll love this hotel.
Why You’ll Love the Sens Cancun
The Sens Cancun finds itself in the gilded company of the Hotel Zone – one of the most popular holiday destinations in Mexico. However, this resort particularly benefits from its geography. It occupies a strip of land between the Caribbean Sea and the gorgeous Nichupte Lagoon. So, there are plenty of opportunities for water babies to go splashing.
Plus, adults exploring the dedicated Sian Ka’an section of the resort will also be able to access the facilities at The Pyramid at The Grand Cancun. So you’re basically getting two resorts for the price of one!
Meanwhile, because this is a family-friendly resort, your little ones can go wild in the KiddO Zone. This has the makings of a family holiday that no one will forget.
Location is Everything
As we mentioned, the resort is dotted delicately between two bodies of water. But when you’re not splashing around in the lagoon or sea, then you could be out exploring some of the best things to do in Cancun:
- Captain Hook Cancun: Experience a unique dinner cruise & pirate show in Cancun, just 0.1 miles away.
- Torre Escénica: Venture out to one of the highest points in Cancun at this rotating observation deck, just 0.2 miles away.
- Playa Langosta: Visit this incredible beach, just 0.3 miles away
- Coco Bongo: One of the most popular nightlife spots in Cancun, just 2.6 miles away.
- Chichen Itza: Feeling like a day-long exploration? It’s every day you get the chance to see a bona fide UNESCO World Heritage site.
- Downtown Cancun: Just a few miles down the road, why not go and explore Mercado 28 and the other sites in this colourful centre.
