5 live collabsHotels, brands and tour operators across Cancún — every brand running a creator program right now.
If your grid is heavy on beach clubs and turquoise water, Cancún is the gold standard for landing hotel residencies. The market here is dominated by massive all-inclusive chains like Hyatt Inclusive Collection, RIU, and Playa Hotels & Resorts. They are almost always looking for high-quality content that showcases their property amenities, food service, and resort architecture to help fill shoulder-season occupancy.
Outside of the hotel sector, you have operators like Sunwing Vacations and unique attractions like Ripley’s that need UGC for their social channels. Brands here typically offer comped stays or all-inclusive packages in exchange for deliverables, though paid opportunities are becoming more common for creators who can prove they move the needle on bookings through trackable links or discount codes.
Expect to provide a mix of polished Instagram Reels, high-res gallery shots for their marketing team, and a series of stories with direct booking links.
Usually, these are categorized as 'trade' or 'comped' collaborations. While you aren't receiving a wire transfer, the value of a five-star all-inclusive stay often exceeds what many brands would pay in cash.
Cancún leans heavily into mid-to-high-tier hospitality. Focus on brands that align with your specific travel aesthetic, whether that’s family-friendly resorts or adult-only boutique experiences.
The best time to pitch is 6 to 8 weeks before your travel dates. Large resorts have complex approval processes for complimentary stays, so avoid last-minute outreach.
Not at all. These brands are looking for creators with audiences in major outbound markets like the US, Canada, and Europe. They want to reach travelers planning their next vacation to Mexico.
