The 879-room mid-range Oasis Cancun is an all-inclusive beach hotel that bills itself as an entertainment resort. This is a year-round party property with a young, spring break atmosphere 24/7. Rooms are generic with substandard amenities, though balcony views are beautiful. Alcohol flows and there are constant crowds at the fun pool and gorgeous beach lining up for dinner and dancing till dawn. Families may want to venture north and try the Grand Oasis Palm, a quieter, more kid-friendly alternative. Partiers should be weary of fees for the safe and Wi-Fi, but would be hard pressed to find a better scene for revelry and drinking in Cancun -- there are three swim-up bars and a nightclub on-site -- vodka shots are dispensed via soda guns.

Hotel el Rey Del Caribe is a small 31-room eco-friendly property located in central Cancun. The location is odd -- it’s not on the beach or close to many amenities or restaurants. However, the three pearl hotel has affordable rates, spacious rooms with kitchenettes, and enough amenities to make travelers feel comfortable. The hotel prides itself on its numerous eco-friendly practices, and indeed, the beautiful, lush courtyard with palm trees and a blue swimming pool is more reminiscent of a tropical oasis than central Cancun. It’s not fancy, but it's a good pick for travelers who want a simple, natural hotel off the beaten path. For even cheaper rates, Hotel Hacienda de Castilla has simple, clean rooms but lacks the ambience of Hotel el Rey Del Caribe.

This budget hotel is located at the entry point to the Hotel Zone of Cancun near Kilometer Marker 4. The rooms offer a choice of ocean or lagoon views, but they're basic, with no Wi-Fi and hot water issues in the showers. A traditional Mexican-style restaurant is available on-site, and offers a continental breakfast (included in some packages). The hotel also has two pools and a garden area. It's one of the cheaper options near the beaches in the Hotel Zone, but most will prefer the similarly priced and more modern Real Inn Cancun, which is even closer to the beaches -- but none of its rooms offer ocean views.

This 18-room mid-range hotel is a modern, affordable option within walking distance (but not in the heart) of downtown Cancun. Renovated in 2013, rooms are clean and contemporary, and all have microwaves and mini-fridges -- though the biker bar down the street can sometimes cause noise issues. There's a small courtyard pool, and the Hotel Zone beaches are a 25-minute drive away. A poolside cafe serves breakfast (basic continental items are free with some booking) and lunch. It's a perfectly serviceable option in this price range, but it's worth comparing rates with Oasis Smart and Ambiance Suites, which offer larger pools and more central locations.
