Renting a condo during your vacation in Cancun offers you the best of both worlds: the luxury of a hotel with the privacy of a home. If you are traveling with a large group or family and would like the privacy of a home with the amenities of a hotel, renting a condo may be the perfect choice for you.

There are condos to fit every budget from the simple one bedroom with an ocean view to four bedroom villas with a domestic staff. If you shop around you can find a condo in the Hotel Zone renting for less than the cost of a hotel room. Standard features at most condos include furnished kitchens, dining rooms, and living rooms. The number of bedrooms will vary. Depending on the location there may or may not be a beach but most will have a pool and garden, parking lots, and security staff. More luxurious condos will offer a wait staff of cooks, maids, chauffeurs, and groundskeepers, along with tennis courts, small gymnasiums and party rooms. Special services for weddings, shows, parties, business meetings or retreats can also be arranged ahead of time. Some condos have also made arrangements with travel agencies, car or boat rentals, and tour guides offering special discounts.

The safest way to rent a condo is through a recommendation from friends who have been there or through a reputable rental agency. If you are renting the place sight unseen, ask for some kind of brochure with pictures, references and a contract clearing outlining the terms before sending any deposit money or signing anything.
