If you are headed to Playa Mujeres and flying into Cancun airport, think about getting a hotel in Cancun and renting a car. There are several hotel options in Cancun within 3 – 5 miles of Playa Mujeres, many of which provide free self-parking. This is not such a far-fetched idea if visiting different beaches or historical sites are part of your plan. There will be lots to do in and around Cancun when you are not on the beach and having your transportation will make it easy for you to get around. The only thing we cannot promise is that Cancun will be quiet. Here are a few options to consider.

Terracaribe Hotel
If you can adjust to a small room and the fact that the Terracaribe Hotel is a distance from the beach, you can save big. No worries about getting to the beach however because there is a complimentary beach shuttle that will make getting there very easy. When you are in your room, settle in and enjoy complimentary WiFi and cable television. There is free self-parking available on site.
