Quick Look: Nizuc, Cancun

  • January 8, 2016
  • Brad A. Johnson

Nizuc is one of the finest resorts in Cancun. It might even be Cancun’s very best. It was originally conceived by legendary hotelier Adrian Zecha, as it was supposed to be the first foray into the America’s by Zecha’s GHM Hotels group. But he backed out before it was finished, so the original designs were adapted and finished by a different team from Mexico. Before it was a resort, parts of the property previously served as a presidential retreat.

The backstory really isn’t important, though. What’s important is this: This is a beautiful and spectacular resort. Have a look around:

My sincerest thanks to the North American Travel Journalists Awards!⁠ 128 19
Hey, OC. FYI in case you missed it, @ryegoods has opened a new location on Red Hill in Tustin, just down the street from Flight/Mess Hall. Same incredible breads and pastries as the original on the peninsula. No lines here, plus a huge seating area. #sourdough #pastries #coffee #orangecounty 331 9
One more post from our lovely stay at @fstokyo. Delicious lunch at @maisonmarunouchi, the casual sibling to @sezannetokyo. Excellent all around. And clearly popular with Tokyo's ladies who lunch: the clientele during our visit, almost entirely women. Quite the see-and-be-seen crowd. 66 1
I’m not sure which I liked better about the @fstokyo, the valet greeter and escort from the train station, the view of the trains from our room, or the super comfy pajamas. Excellent service all around. #Tokyo #Japan #hoteljunkie 83 3
I think @sezannetokyo ⁠has a #footfetish, and I’m ok with that. Truly fantastic lunch. Impeccable service. ⁠ 64 2
We had a really fun "Lost in Translation" moment at @meatman_roppongi. Google Translate failed hilariously. Delicious meat/fat overload anyway. Great staff, charming hospitality. Lots of sake. Thank you, @fstokyo for securing the reservation! #Tokyo #Roppongi #sake 77 1
