Cancun, Mexico is a stunning beach vacation destination where families, couples and groups of friends can return each year and still be mesmerized by something new and wonderful to experience. The beach, of course, never goes out of fashion, nor does the sound of the Caribbean sea lapping on the palm-studded shores. But Cancun is much more than a Caribbean destination, it is steeped in ancient history as well as Mexican charm, making a wonderful choice for a vacation or property investment.

For these reasons, Cancun has become a hub for vacation clubs and residence clubs. The sheer numbers of people wanting to make Cancun their vacation home has brought about a number of resorts that offer vacation club membership, allowing visitors to benefit from vacation ownership at a fraction of the full price and responsibility.

There are two main ways to use vacation clubs in Cancun. The first is to join an international vacation club such as RCI or Interval International, which will give you the option of visiting resorts in Cancun every year if you so wish or destinations around the world. In this instance, you do not have a “home” resort, but can use your membership points towards accommodations of your choice in Cancun and around the world.

The second and most popular option is to buy vacation membership at a specific Cancun resort, whereby you become an owner at a particular resort or hotel chain, often called residence club membership. This Cancun membership also allows you to stay in destinations around the world through the use of international vacation club services. The benefits of joining a vacation club in Cancun at a particular resort is that you can return to your favorite resort in Cancun every year if you wish, with the option of staying somewhere else as and when you desire.

There are lots of vacation clubs to choose from in Cancun, and you will surely be asked to attend a presentation at a resort on your arrival. A good recommendation would be Villa del Palmar Cancun in Playa Mujeres.
