What the classifiers highlight
Forty minutes north of Cancun airport, this 593-suite all-inclusive works to shed the category's reputation, with a wooden walkway carrying guests from the beach into a stand of jungle and murals of jaguars and flamingos by Leo Tezcucano through its halls. Forbes counts 13 restaurants and singles out María Dolores, Mexico's first Five-Star restaurant, tucked inside the resort.
