The success it has achieved in just a few years of operation, shows the very assertive way in which this luxury hotel project was planned in Cancún. Today it is well-positioned in Mexico and the United States, two countries from which most of its regular visitors come from; as well as in South America, especially Colombia and Brazil, where the greatness of this jewel of Grupo Brisas is also recognized.
The values that frame and are appreciated by guests of NIZUC Resort & Spa are many, explains Darrick Eman, Global Sales Director of the hotel, “starting with its location, which makes it pleasantly attractive, with its majestic natural surroundings which promote silence and relaxation; as well as having the airport nearby to avoid long trips; two points appreciated by potential customers of this hotel that is becoming the most sought after ‘jewel’ in the Yucatan peninsula”.

The list of preferences also includes its exclusive infrastructure, not to mention the quality of service, rated with Five Diamonds by the American Automobile Association (AAA), granted to less than three percent of the 32 thousand hotels in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. It has also been distinguished with awards and recognitions, such as the one granted in 2018 by experts from Preferred Hotels & Resorts in San Diego (United States), during the Global Preferred Conference.
It was also named the “most instagrammable hotel in the world” by Luxury Travel Advisor in 2020. Furthermore, Travel+Leisure hailed it as one of the 25 best hotels in Mexico and was on the list of the 500 Top Resorts in the World in 2021; in the same year, Condé Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awards recognized it as one of the Top 20 Resorts in Eastern Mexico. The interesting thing is that the same entities have just ratified the hotel as one of the most outstanding in the Aztec country.
