Little more than 20 years ago, Cancun was just a Mayan name, a deserted, sun-drenched island off the northeast tip of the Yucatan peninsula. Not long after the first hotel was opened in the early 1970s, Cancun was well on its way to becoming a first-class vacation destination. Always popular with American tourists from central and eastern parts of the States, Cancun is now becoming a favorite with visitors from the Pacific Coast, due in large part to Alaska airlines' new nonstop service from Los Angeles.
