We’re cousins based out of Tulsa, OK. We are travel lovers, and the team behind Under the Sun Travel. For more than 12 years, we’ve helped travelers turn vacation dreams into unique experiences and Cancun and the Riviera Maya hold a special place in our hearts.
We’ve personally traveled to the Cancun area more than 40 times, toured approximately 90% of the resorts in the region, and experienced countless excursions, restaurants, beaches, resort stays and activities firsthand. We don't just recommend Cancun because we've researched it, we recommend it because we know it.
Our travels have taken us to more than 20 countries, but we continue returning to the Mexican Caribbean year after year. We've watched new resorts open, revisited longtime favorites, explored different beaches and destinations, and learned that choosing the right resort can completely change your vacation experience.
That's why we don't believe there's one "best" resort in Cancun.
There's a best resort for you.
Whether you're dreaming of an adults-only escape, honeymoon, anniversary, family vacation, destination wedding, group getaway or luxury all-inclusive experience, we'll use our firsthand knowledge to help match you with the resort and experience that fit your travel style.
Because after 40+ trips to Cancun, we've learned a thing or two about finding the perfect spot Under the Sun. ☀️
