See The New Adults Only Resort in Cancun: Excellence Coral Playa Mujeres!

Excellence Resorts has another escape along the shores of Cancun. Explore a top new retreat for adults only at Excellence Coral Playa Mujeres. 

The Yucatan Peninsula, the region of Mexico where Cancun, the Riviera Maya, and Playa del Carmen are located, is rich with ancient Mayan history. The peninsula is home to thousands of archeological sites. Some, like <a href="https://www.finestresorts.com/blog/explore-the-ancient-mayan-culture-with-a-chichen-itza-exclusive-tour/">Chichen Itza</a> and Tulum, are very well known, while most are relatively unknown to visitors. Some are even located on private property.
While not as well-known as Chichen Itza and Tulum, the Coba ruins are worth a visit. The city of Coba peaked during the Late Classic period, roughly between 600 and 900 AD, when it experienced significant population, architectural, economic, and political growth. It is estimated to have had a population of between 50,000 and 100,000 inhabitants and contained some 6000 structures. The city was a thriving regional capital.
<h2>How far is Coba from Cancun?</h2>
Coba, which means &ldquo;chopped water" in Maya, is located in Quintana Roo, the same state where Cancun is located, near the border of the state of Yucatan. It&rsquo;s about a 2-hour drive from Cancun and about a 40-minute drive from Tulum.

<h2>5 Mayan Attractions to see at Coba</h2>
<h3>1) Nohoch Mul Pyramid</h3>
Nohoch Mul, which means "great mound" in Maya, is the tallest pyramid in Coba and the state of Quintana Roo, and the second tallest in the Yucatan Peninsula. Nohoch Mul rises high above the lush tropical jungle, and is some 42 meters (about 138 feet) high.
&nbsp;It consists of a seven-tiered base with rounded corners, two staircases, and a temple at the top that features architectural characteristics similar to many of those found in sites along the eastern coast of the peninsula. It was primarily used as a religious center, a symbol of the ruling lineage's power, and a mausoleum for rulers. Unfortunately, visitors are no longer allowed to climb Nohoch Mul.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>2) Sacb&eacute;ob</h3>
Coba is known for sacbe, plural sacbeob or "white roads", which are ancient ceremonial pathways that connect different parts of the site, including the three main areas: Nohoch Mul, Conjunto Pinturas, and Macanxoc. In addition to pyramids, sacb&eacute;ob are an example of the Mayans&rsquo; astounding engineering skills. They are straight stone paths between 4 and 20 meters wide and up to 300 kilometers long, are usually elevated, approximately one meter above ground level, and paved with &ldquo;sascab&rdquo; (limestone dust) or lime.&nbsp;
Mayans used these roads to travel from one city to another on foot, usually for commercial reasons. Due to the high temperatures in the area, they would travel at night, and experts believe that the roads were white to reflect the moonlight and keep the path illuminated, and that they had a religious meaning, since a ritual was performed before traveling on one.
<h3>3) Conjunto pinturas&nbsp;</h3>
The Conjunto Pinturas (Paintings Group) is made up of five structures and thirteen altars. Two of these ceremonial buildings, including the smallest pyramid at Coba, Pir&aacute;mide del Entrelazado, which translates to &ldquo;Pyramid of the Painted Lintel&rdquo;, still show traces of mural painting, which is not very common.&nbsp;
The reason the murals are still somewhat visible is that the structures are thought to be part of the final construction phase of Cob&aacute;, meaning that many of these buildings are among the most recent in the area. The area also features intriguing structures with wall carvings, including a structure dedicated to the bee and corn gods.&nbsp;
<h3>4) Macanxoc structures</h3>
Located near a lagoon of the same name, the Macanxoc area, which was a ceremonial center, is the area of Coba with the most standing stelae, which are large pieces of limestone carved with images and glyphs. Most of them are standing, and there are visible carved images and writing on them. You cannot touch them, but you can get close enough to see them well.&nbsp;
Stela 1 is notable for its depiction of the dates of the completion of the first Great Cycle in the Mayan Calendar on December 21, 2012. (Remember? When the world was supposed to end) Macanxoc is a very quiet part of the site. Most people don&rsquo;t get around to visiting it.&nbsp;
<h3>5) Mayan ball courts</h3>

The Mayan ball game was a unique blend of sport, ritual, and theater. Played on a large, I-shaped court, with a trench area in the center, small vertical walls on each side, a wide sloping wall above that on each side, and two stone rings, one on each wall. Two teams of 2 to 6 players would use their hips, elbows, and knees to keep a heavy ball in the air, aiming to score by getting it through one of the stone rings.&nbsp;
The game was more than just a sport; it held deep religious and symbolic significance, often linked to the cyclical nature of life and the cosmos, and was even used to resolve disputes between cities. There are two ball courts located at Coba, a smaller one closer to the entrance and a larger one located further inside the site.
<h2>Tips for visiting Coba</h2>
Visiting Coba is a fantastic experience for all ages and fitness levels. The site is very large, but there are both bikes and &ldquo;Mayan limos&rdquo; (basically a bicycle taxi) available for rent.
<a href="https://www.finestresorts.com/blog/how-to-beat-the-heat-and-stay-cool-in-the-sun/">Plan for the heat</a> and dress in lightweight, breathable clothing, and don&rsquo;t forget essentials like water, sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, and a hat.&nbsp;
<img src="https://05e57498c754ef16a357-dd35090954f9d016e24fbeadadc8a8f7.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/u/blogs/what-to-pack-for-a-mayan-encounter-at-coba.jpg" />
Although you can rent a car and drive to Coba, the easiest way to visit is with an organized tour. These tours are led by a guide and most include a visit to a <a href="https://www.excellenceresorts.com/blog/plunge-into-mexicos-natural-swimming-pools-in-the-riviera-maya/">cenote</a> and/or Mayan village.&nbsp;
All that is left now is to book your stay nearby so that you can begin looking forward to your Mexican vacation experiences.&nbsp;

For many travelers, it is of the utmost importance to check the tourist safety and the overall security of a destination before visiting. In this brief article, we will cover all the safety points so you can rest easy with some up-to-date information regarding Cancun and see how to enjoy a vacation paradise here in a safe and secure environment where you can feel truly comfortable.
Get ready to unwind, relax, and let all anxieties fade away as we show you how to stay safe in Cancun.&nbsp;
<h2>How safe is Cancun for tourists?</h2>
Cancun is a growing <a href="https://www.excellenceresorts.com/destinations/">tourist destination</a> that receives millions of tourists annually and many travelers who have previously visited this destination, choose to return every year. This is largely due to the beautiful surroundings and upscale accommodation options, but also because Cancun has been made one of the safest places in Mexico to visit.&nbsp;

Whilst safety measures should be followed no matter where you are, if you are asking if Cancun is dangerous for tourists, the overall answer is no.&nbsp;
The entire area has been specifically designed to cater to foreigners and to be able to provide them with an enjoyable vacation experience. If a large portion of the tourists in Cancun were in danger or were not made to feel safe during their stay, then tourism in this destination would not continue to thrive as it does.&nbsp;
To give you an idea of just how popular Cancun is, it is the number 1 most visited destination in Mexico and usually ranks each year as one of the top tourist destinations in the world.&nbsp;
<h2>What should you avoid in Cancun?</h2>
Despite relative security, there is always a level of caution you should take in any destination, even at home. Here are a couple of tips and tricks to optimize your safety during your vacation, however, most of these you may recognize as simple common sense.
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Try to stick with your group. Whether you are traveling with friends, or with your partner, it is usually best to avoid wandering off on your own.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">If an unknown tour guide or local offers to help you or take you somewhere, as is the case in any location, you should stick with those you know or those that are from a reputable agency.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Surely you would not do anything illegal, but it is worth mentioning that you should always do your best to obey all the rules and regulations of the place you are visiting.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">If you are carrying anything valuable with you, do your best not to display it too openly, or to leave it unattended so as not to invite any opportunists.&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Lastly, if enjoying any nighttime activities, make sure to let someone know where you are headed and organize your travel back to the resort so that you have a guaranteed safe ride back.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>

<h2>Enjoy the safety of Cancun!</h2>
Cancun has been designed as a safe haven for tourists. That being said, for optimum safety, you should stick to locations where there are other attractions, tourists, guides, and personnel. By staying in places that have been specifically designed to care for travelers like yourself, you keep yourself in a bubble of security at all times.
Here are some additional factors to consider to optimize your comfort during your stay&hellip;
<h3>Book a private transfer</h3>
Whether traveling, to or from the airport to your resort, it is recommended to avoid the local offers of transportation whether they are Ubers, Taxis, Buses, or something else. Instead, go with your previously reserved private transportation. A good option for this is <a href="mailto:transfers@seasonstours.com">Seasons Transfers</a> since they have a long track record of reliability, and are familiar with your favorite resorts.&nbsp;
You can also use private transportation to get to your tours and other experiences. In this way, you always take advantage of the safest travel options.
<h3>The safety of Cancun resorts</h3>
Another thing to keep in mind is that many of the <a href="https://www.theexcellencecollection.com/Best-All-Inclusive-Resorts-in-Playa-Mujeres">luxury resorts</a> are situated in exclusive gated communities that have security personnel that control who can and cannot enter. Additionally, the actual resorts themselves have established security procedures to ensure that only the guests and staff are allowed access to the premises.
This kind of All Inclusive safety, allows you to be able to unwind and relax in pure comfort without any concerns.&nbsp;

<h3>Explore the surroundings</h3>
All in all, Cancun is the ideal destination for a safety-conscious traveler. You need not journey here in fear of possible dangers. Instead, if you follow some basic precautions with a little touch of common sense, you can make the most of this wonderful vacation destination.
Explore the area, see the sights, try the tours, indulge in the cuisine, and have an incredible and safe vacation in Cancun.&nbsp;
