Guests can lounge around on the pool's sundecks or play tennis at the resort's two lighted tennis courts. Guests can also use the 35,000-square-foot beauty spa at the JW Marriott Cancun Resort and Spa, a companion resort that is connected to the hotel by a sky bridge. This companion resort also features a business center with five computers.The resort has an older clientele and is suited for those who wish to avoid the spring-break college crowd in March and early April.
