Presidente Intercontinental Cancún

The Resort and Its Setting

Presidente InterContinental Cancún sits directly on the beach in Cancún's hotel zone, carrying the InterContinental name and the service standards that come with it. It's a beachfront property on the Yucatán Peninsula's Caribbean coast — the kind of location that's been drawing vacationers to this stretch of Quintana Roo for decades. As a timeshare resort, it's affiliated with RCI, which matters as much to owners deciding what to do with a week as it does to buyers deciding whether to purchase one.

Cancún and the Riviera Maya

Cancún needs little introduction: turquoise water, white sand, and a hotel zone built for tourism, with downtown Cancún (El Centro) about 5 km away for a more local, less touristy feel. From the resort, Isla Mujeres is a short ferry ride away at roughly 13 km, and the wider Riviera Maya opens up from there — Playa del Carmen and Xcaret Eco Park are each about 45 km south, Tulum's cliffside ruins around 130 km, and Chichen Itza, one of the most visited archaeological sites in the Americas, roughly 180 km inland. It's a destination that works equally well for owners who want a beach-only week and those who want to use the resort as a base for exploring the region.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Presidente InterContinental Cancún and are considering selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post, and no commission is taken when the deal closes — unlike traditional resale agents, who take a cut of the sale price.

Because this is a resale rather than a developer sale, transfers for branded resorts like this typically go through the resort's owners' association or management company rather than the brand itself. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth both sides confirming directly with the resort or its management: the transfer fee, the current annual maintenance fee, and whether any right of first refusal applies to the sale. These figures vary by resort and aren't something we publish here, so get them in writing before closing.

A resale buyer typically takes on the usage rights and RCI exchange eligibility tied to the week, but generally does not inherit any developer-era perks, loyalty points, or promotional extras that were specific to the original purchase — confirm this with the resort before buying.

Renters, on the other hand, are usually looking for straightforward things: confirmed dates, clarity on what's included, and a beachfront location they can rely on. Being upfront about the week's size, season, and RCI exchange status in your listing helps attract serious enquiries.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

RCI affiliation means owners can deposit their week into the exchange network for a stay at another affiliated resort instead of using it at Presidente InterContinental Cancún — useful to mention in a listing, since it broadens the appeal to buyers who want flexibility rather than a fixed annual trip to Cancún. Exchange availability and booking windows should be checked directly with RCI, particularly for peak weeks.

Cancún International Airport (CUN) is about 20 km south of the city, roughly 20–30 minutes by car depending on traffic — worth including in rental listings, since easy access is a real selling point for this resort. Winter months (November to April) are peak season, with the best weather and highest demand for rentals, while the quieter months from May to October, which fall within hurricane season, tend to see lower rental interest and are worth pricing accordingly.
