If you don’t mind vacationing with kids but desire a bit of adults-only ambiance, then check out Hyatt Ziva Cancun, a family-friendly luxury resort right on Punta Cancun in the Hotel Zone.
If you are looking to stay at a resort in Cancun’s Hotel Zone which offers a rooftop suite AND is located fairly close to the airport (about a 15-20 min. drive), check out the Coral level upgrade at the Iberostar Selection Cancun. The adults-only Coral level is a separate 13-story tower on the north side of the Iberostar Selection Cancun; it opened in 2018 and offers 156 guest rooms of its own, three additional bars, one additional restaurant, a private pool with swim-up bar, and a private beach area just for Coral level guests. Rooftop suites can only be found at this resort in the Coral level upgrade.
For those who don’t mind staying in an adults-only section at a family-friendly all-inclusive resort, check out the Adult Scene section at the new Planet Hollywood Cancun. This PH resort opened earlier this year and offers so many amenities around the entire property…lazy river, water park, FlowRider, grotto bar, trampolines, multiple pools including a separate pool at the Adults Scene section, sports bar, 12 restaurants at no extra cost–two of which are at the Adult Scene section, and a way to upgrade within the Adult Scene upgrade (Adult Scene guests can upgrade to Star Class; Adult Scene guests who upgrade to Star Class have full access to everything on the property with the exception of timeshare/vacation club member benefits/amenities).
