Cancun Airbnb Tips

Cancun Airbnb Tips


4 minute read

You’ve already booked your Cancun flights and we’re sure you’ve got your VIP Party Packages reserved with After Dark, right? Now, you’re stuck deciding between one of Cancun’s best resorts (check out our Top 5 spring break suggestions) or one of the many amazing Airbnb options in the area… and there are quite a few to choose from! We’re here to help you decide on the best Cancun Airbnb option for your next vacation! You will find many beautiful homes listed on Airbnb but for beach access, easy transport, and other tourists close by, we suggest you aim to find a location in Cancun’s “7” (see photo below for reference). Here are some great options you will find within the “7”. Bay View Grand, Porto Fino and Ocean Dreams are all brand new Cancun condos that are adjacent to the club zone, so you have access to everything right outside your front door. These options are great if you want luxury and desire to be in the heart of the action 24/7. The amenities are top notch! Two more buildings you may come across in the popular party center are Salvia and Carisa Y Palma. These hotels/mini suites are closest to the action, but they have been around a while so if you are looking for a fresh new option, the age and wear and tear of these two locations is something to keep in mind. You can find newly renovated and updated rooms, but they are not all that way so do your research! Villas Marlin is another great building, filled with individually owned condos (ranging in quality and price). Villas Marlin is beachfront, with a pool on-site and is located directly in behind the shopping mall at Luxury Avenue. Villas Marlin does require a shuttle ride to get to the clubs, but it is not too far by any means (4-7 minute drive depending on traffic)! You will find some hidden gems within Calle Quetzal (hello mansion style villas) and it is within walking distance from everything. There is also a bus stop at the end of the street in case the walk in heels is too much or you partied too hard and just can’t make the walk home! Isla Dorada is a well-known gated community with many beautiful homes and lots of options for tourists and locals alike. It is conveniently located next to La Isla shopping mall, but it spans over a large area with some properties that are set back pretty far from the main street, so it could take private transportation or a good pair of walking shoes to get you to the nearest shuttle stop. Puerto Cancun is a brand-new recently constructed area which is located at the middle top part of the “7”. Here you will find brand new EVERYTHING; i.e. residences, yachts, restaurants and shopping! It is located conveniently enough to grab a shuttle across the street and get to the clubs within 7-10 minutes. As you can see, there are plenty of great Cancun Airbnb rentals to choose from as long as you know what you’re looking for! The experts at After Dark are here to assist not only with your party planning needs, but we can guide you in the right direction and ensure your vacation accommodations are top notch too! Don’t forget, Cancun’s party scene is what it’s most known for, and we have boats, beach clubs and Cancun nightlife options that will blow your mind so if you haven’t done so already, make sure to check out all we have to offer! See you at the beach!
