Set right on Cancun's oceanfront in the Hotel Zone, Iberostar Selection Cancun is a smart shout if you want a proper all-inclusive base with golf close by and the beach on your doorstep. You're around 15 minutes from Cancun International Airport, which makes arrival day refreshingly painless, and you're near enough to dip into the Hotel Zone's bars and attractions when you fancy it.
What I like here is the balance. It feels like a self-contained resort when you want a quiet afternoon by the pool, but you're not marooned miles from civilisation either. The beach is classic Caribbean, pale sand and that bright, turquoise water, and the pool areas are large enough that you can usually find your own patch even in busier weeks.
Golfers are well placed for the Iberostar Cancun Golf Club, which sits nearby and pairs nicely with an all-inclusive stay, especially for mixed groups where some want to play and others are perfectly happy with sun, sea and a decent lunch spot. The resort handles the logistics well, so you can focus on your game rather than piecing together transfers and tee times yourself.
Who is this for?
Golfers and groups seeking a hassle-free, all-inclusive break in Cancun with quality golf, beachfront access and a full range of resort facilities. Ideal for couples, small groups and families who want guaranteed tee times, warm-weather golf and the flexibility to mix rounds with downtime by the pool or beach.
Who is it best for?
Mid-to-high handicappers and mixed-ability groups looking for a relaxed, resort-based golf holiday where everything is included and organised. Also suits golfers travelling with non-golfing partners or families who want activities, dining variety and beach access alongside their rounds.
