the options for lodging in Cancun are limitless. If your marriage is a happy memory and now you're looking for a family vacation or resort destination, Cancun has you covered. One look at the beaches, water parks and abundance of other amusements and the kids will never want to leave, whatever their age.

Cancun is the ultimate vacation and resort destination whether your idea of a good time is surfing, kayaking, fishing and swimming or just laying in the tropical sun. On the lagoon side, there is an abundance of water sports equipment for rental for one day or an entire vacation. On the Caribbean side, enjoy great swimming, surfing and sunbathing.

For divers and snorkelers, Cancun is a paradise. The crystal-blue Caribbean waters hold an abundance of underwater wildlife, and most of the resorts have trainers who can show you which end of the fin to flap and how to handle the equipment.

And should you want to catch the magnificent fish you see on your dives
