Top Caribbean and Mexico destinations
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
As a destination where the desert meets the sea, Los Cabos impresses travelers with a truly unique backdrop for a beach vacation. The most memorable experiences, however, await just off its shores. Swim with whale sharks, go on a private whale watching tour, or take a surf lesson. All these experiences and more can be arranged by your personal concierge at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal. Nestled into the cliffs of Pedregal Mountain, the resort is a masterpiece of design offering breathtaking ocean views and artful interiors featuring hand-pressed tile, woven Oaxacan rugs, and solid wood doors hewn from local mesquite to create an authentic Mexican experience. Continue the celebration of local culture at cliffside restaurant, El Farallón, where you can enjoy the day’s best catch — courtesy of local fishermen — while overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Cancun, Mexico
Few destinations are as well known for their nightlife and beautiful beaches as Cancun. The city also offers the chance to fully immerse yourself in your natural surroundings, featuring stellar snorkeling and scuba diving locations, plus its proximity to the ancient Mayan ruins of El Meco. Overlooking the Nichupté Lagoon, Canopy by Hilton Cancun La Isla offers panoramic views of Nichupté Bay and the Caribbean Sea, making it the perfect spot to watch the sunset. Fancy more active pursuits? Enjoy a relaxing dip in the rooftop pool or dance along to music by local performers as you enjoy a delicious craft cocktail.
Tulum, Mexico
Tulum’s idyllic stretch of coastline on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico has bloomed in recent years. Formerly a quiet fishing village, it is now equal parts stylish, laidback, and inviting. If you’re looking for an experience with a rustic ambiance and a treasure trove of adventure opportunities, then Tulum is the destination for you. Motto by Hilton Tulum embodies the region’s spirit of exploration with curated experiences such as sunset rooftop dinners and close proximity to must-see sights such as Jaguar National Park, the Muralist Walk, and ancient Mayan ruins.
Ambergris Caye, Belize
Located on the picturesque Ambergris Caye, the largest island in Belize, Mahogany Bay Resort & Beach Club, Curio Collection by Hilton is a luxurious beachfront destination and the ideal secluded escape. The resort features a private beach club (the only one of its kind in Belize), overwater cabana beds, and multiple opportunities to enjoy a cozy dinner while feasting on the day’s daily catch. The region is also known for its crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life, making it a paradise for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. For expert recommendations on where and when to go, speak with the hotel’s concierge team to curate an outdoor experience that’s just for you.
