The recipe for success at Beachscape (formerly the Ambiance Villas) was to take a perfect beachfront location and design a property specifically to fill a gap in the market. An abundance of hotel rooms are available in Cancun, yet families have always struggled to find high quality two and three bedroom suites combined with self-catering facilities and child-friendly amenities.

At this hotel, guests can choose a luxurious one bedroom suite, with fully equipped kitchen and comfortable sitting room, and then add one or two more bedrooms as required. The suites are indulgent enough for honeymooners, with their spacious king bedrooms and large dressing area. For an economical choice, there is also a range of standard rooms with two double beds.

It's well known that Beachscape has one of the best beaches in Cancun - the Discovery Channel recently voted it the resort's finest - with soft white sand shelving ever so gently into the tranquil ocean. This alone would make it a very popular choice, along with the close proximity to Cancun's nightlife and shopping.

The amenities on offer at the hotel are also excellent, including a supermarket-deli, a good excursions and water sports outlet, a large swimming pool and two convenient restaurants. An exercise room and health and beauty center are planned for later this year.

Cancun might be too commercial for some people, but it's difficult to be bored with the huge variety of tourist facilities available here (and most parents will appreciate that this can make a vacation run much more smoothly!)

There's something for all ages - water parks, swim-with-dolphin programs, shopping malls, golf, cinemas, and an incredible choice of excursions by road or by sea. So if you are looking for the perfect family vacation on a perfect beach, Beachscapeis highly recommended.
