Cancun Receives Blue Flag Certification at Three Beaches We always suspected they were world-class, but now we have the certification to prove it. On July 1, 2014, three of Cancun’s premier beaches were awarded with official “Blue Flag” certification. The three beaches that received this distinction are Chac Mool, Delfines and Las Perlas, each in the famous Hotel Zone of Cancun. The triple award makes Cancun the only destination in Mexico to have 3 Blue Flag beaches.

“Yes, since 1986, we are those neatly attired people in the turquoise blue and white uniforms. Many people call us "the Smurfs". We are knowledgeable, witty, fun to have around, and beautiful or handsome (not necessarily in that order).”
