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:
