Located in proximity to the city of Cancun in Mexico, Playa Delfines is a serene gem offering soft white sand and stunning vistas of the Caribbean Sea.
Its name is derived from the fact that it is one of the few places in Cancun where visitors can sight the magnificent dolphins, a privilege that can be availed through chartered tours.
Moreover, a leisurely stroll to El Ray, an archaeological site that houses ancient Mayan stone temples and fascinating iguanas, adds an intriguing historical dimension to the beach.
All these unique features seamlessly blend to make Playa Delfines a truly special place.
Visitor reviews highlight the beautiful clear blue water and white sand of the beach, as well as the availability of public umbrellas, lifeguards, and food vendors. However, visitors complain about the beach becoming too crowded later in the day and the roughness of the waves. Some also mention issues with aggressive vendors and a lot of seaweed.
If you’re planning a trip to Playa Delfines, consider staying in the Hotel Zone of Cancun, which is a short drive away and offers a wide range of accommodations. Many visitors also opt to stay in the nearby downtown area of Cancun, providing easy access to both the beach and the vibrant city life.
