City overview
Cancun is Mexico's best-known Caribbean resort city, a seventeen-mile barrier island of white sand and turquoise water lined end to end with resorts, with a working Mexican city of nearly a million people behind it and the Maya interior a short drive inland. Isla Mujeres lies a twenty-minute ferry ride offshore and trades the high-rise strip for golf carts, a walkable town centre and the calm shallow water of Playa Norte. Between them they cover almost every kind of trip, from all-inclusive beach weeks to diving, Maya ruins and day sails. Jewish travel here is unusually well served for a resort destination: Chabad Jewish Center of Cancun sits inside Kukulcan Plaza in the heart of the Hotel Zone, Cancun's own Orthodox community, Neve Shalom, numbers around forty-eight families, and Chabad of Isla Mujeres runs a shul and a kosher restaurant on the island itself. Three certified restaurants operate in the Hotel Zone under Mexican supervision, and both Chabad houses serve Shabbat meals to visitors who book ahead.
