I have decided to visit Mexico in the end of this year .The main reason of choosing Mexico is it's historical background. I like to visit historical places .The different cultures attract visitors . . That's why Mexico is always a centre of attraction to me but I have never been to that place and i'm worried about the accommodation there .So I need some guidelines about that place so that I can explore it's historical beauty to the full extent .
I've come across the site named Asiarooms.com but I also need few other names like this . Any comment in this regard will be very helpful ....

Bruce,
It would be easier to get to the historical sites if you stayed in either Cancu or the Riviera Maya. The riveria Maya is the area south of the Cancun airport. In both Cancun and the Riviera Maya, there are many hotels in all different price categories and levels of quality.
Beside the historical sites, there are many beautful natural ecological sites to see! The Riu properties are very nice and moderately priced.
The Viva hotels are less expensive good more budget properties. Both of these hotel chains are all inclusive.

Things to do in Cancun: Mayan Archaeological Site

The Yucatan Peninsula is primarily a very large (180,000 square miles) low-lying, flat, limestone rock shelf located in Mexico's south-east region separating the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico. It comprises the states of Yucatan, Campeche, and Quintana Roo, Mexico; the country of Belize; and part of Guatemala. Most of the residents of this region are the descendants of the ancient Mayan tribe. The area has a very hot tropical climate with dry and rainy seasons.

More visitors come to the Yucatan Peninsula than any other part of Mexico. This is not surprising given its numerous luxurious resorts, ancient Mayan culture, gorgeous beaches and dramatic landscapes. While most of the visitors head for the beaches of Cancun, a major resort city in the northeastern part of the Yucatan, many others visit the area for its many Mayan archaeological sites.

The peninsula is dotted with numerous Mayan ruins some of which were once great ancient cities covering several square miles. The following describes a few of the more popular archeological sites where you may experience the wonders of the ancient Mayan ruins.

Calakmul: This archeological site is located about 30 miles from the Guatemalan border, has more than six thousand structures covering an area of about 75 square kilometers and is almost wholly covered by jungle. It is believed that at one time Calakmul was the largest city of the Mayan region. Calakmul is a walled city with the tallest pyramid in the Yucatán.

Chichén-Itzá: This site is the location of the famous El Castillo Pyramid. The pyramid has 91 steps to the top on each side and has 52 panels on each side representing the 52 year cycle of the Mayan calendar. At sunrise, on the spring or fall equinox, the nine pyramid levels cast a shadow on the staircase edge producing the image of an undulating snake.

Palenque: The original builders of these ruined structures carved histories in stone which scholars have only recently acquired the ability to decipher. One of the events carved in stone is the account of an elaborate ceremony in A.D. 683 when King Pacal was buried in a secret pyramidal tomb. This tomb remained undiscovered until 1952.

Tulum: The site is located near Cancun. It once served as a major seaport for Mayan traders and was built around 900 A.D. It occupies one of the most beautiful seaside locations in Mexico and the sight of the Mayan stone walled fortress against the backdrop the clear turquoise waters of the Caribbean ocean is magnificent.

Uxmal: This site was built between 700 A.D. and 1000 A.D. and lasted until the Spanish conquest. The main attraction of this site is its many ornate stone carvings including a stone rattlesnake that undulates across the facade of the Nunnery complex. Also of interest is the Pyramid of the Magician, the largest structure at Uxmal.
