Revisiting Cancun: Move over, spring break

Eager to see Cancun as more than a spring break destination, Travel Weekly's Jenny Hart headed to the JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa for a trip highlighting local luxury. In addition to spending quality time at the resort, Jenny enjoyed local Mexican culture and cuisine off-site. Pictured here, the JW Marriott's pool and beach area. TW photos by Jenny Hart
