The good

• Five-star all-inclusive resort
• Google rating of 4.8 from 92 reviews
• Hotel Zone address at Blvd. Kukulcan Km 16

What we think

If rooftop swimming is the whole reason for your trip, we wouldn't pick this one first. The details that settle a booking aren't published: who can use the rooftop pool, when it's open, whether the water is heated. Hyatt Zilara, by comparison, states plainly that its rooftop infinity pool is adults only. The resort itself is easier to judge. It's five-star, all-inclusive and rated 4.8 on Google from 92 reviews. Access is the downside. Hive Cancun sells a day pass at MX$700, but Mondrian has no pass on sale, so a room is the way in.

Km 16 is on Avenida Kukulkan, the single main road of the Hotel Zone. That puts you on the beach strip, not downtown, where hotels are cheaper but you're off the sand.

Book it for

Downsides

• Rooftop pool access isn't published
• Season and heating aren't published
• No day pass is on sale

Check first.Ask the hotel about rooftop access, opening months and heating before you pay, since none of them is published. A winter booking is the one to check hardest.
