About
White sand, turquoise Caribbean water and easy day trips to Mayan ruins and swimmable cenotes. There is a Chabad center in Cancun, and kosher food is more limited than in big cities, so check before you go.
Good to know: only 3 shuls and 1 kosher place are on our map here so far, and the real number is likely higher. Before you book, check with the local Chabad (search Chabad Cancun) and look up kosher on Google Maps.
Shabbos food: Kosher Riviera Maya. What each one offers, how to order and the hechsher to ask about are in Travel Info ›
Best time to goDec–Apr is driest; Jun–Nov is hurricane season.
Local time
Before you goPlaces come from OpenStreetMap and can change. Call ahead for minyan and Shabbos meals, and check the hechsher yourself.

Where to stay
Hotels by walk or drive to minyan
Walking and driving time from each hotel to the nearest shul and kosher food. Tap a hotel for its map, phone numbers and directions.
Loading hotels…
Walking times are estimates: straight-line distance × 1.3 at about 80 m a minute. Driving times are road routes without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing); where a route is missing we show “≈”, straight line × 1.4 at city speed. No prices or ratings here; each hotel links to Google Maps reviews and a Booking.com search.
Minyan
Shuls & Chabad
Chabad houses first. Call ahead for minyan times.
3 shuls, Chabad houses and kosher places in this city were added or completed by hand from Chabad, kashrut-agency and community websites (checked November 2026). Each one links to its source.
Not every shul is on the map yet: search synagogues on Google Maps. Denomination is shown only where it is mapped. Something wrong? Report a correction.
Food
