Día de los Muertos & Halloween at Hotel Mousai Cancun

Some trips feel perfectly timed—and our four-day escape to Hotel Mousai Cancun was exactly that. We landed right in the heart of Día de los Muertos and Halloween, and the energy, creativity, and atmosphere made the entire stay feel special from start to finish.

Hotel Mousai Cancun (yes, M-O-U-S-A-I) is one of the newer luxury properties in the Cancun Hotel Zone, and it shows. The design is modern, sleek, and unapologetically bold—very much an adults-only, elevated experience. Everything feels intentional, from the architecture to the art to the way the property flows effortlessly from calm daytime luxury to evening sophistication.

One of our favorite spots—no surprise here—was the rooftop pool. Stunning views, impeccable service, and that unmistakable feeling of being suspended above it all. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, drinks taste better, and you forget what day it is (which, honestly, is the goal).

Dining at Noi was another highlight. Chef Benito truly made the experience unforgettable. Instead of ordering off a rigid menu, we were invited to eat exactly what we wanted—and he delivered. Every dish felt thoughtful, customized, and executed beautifully. It wasn’t just dinner; it was a conversation and a shared experience, which made it even more memorable.

We also carved out time for a spa day, and it was exactly what we needed. Tranquil, beautifully designed, and deeply relaxing—an ideal reset in the middle of a short but full trip.

Evenings at Hotel Mousai were magic in their own way. Live piano paired with a violinist created the perfect backdrop for winding down after the day. Add in the Día de los Muertos celebrations—altars, décor, cultural touches—and the creative flair they brought to Halloween, and every night felt festive without being overdone.

Four days flew by, but somehow the trip felt complete. Between the people we met, the food, the rooftop views, the spa, and the thoughtfully curated celebrations, Hotel Mousai Cancun delivered a truly memorable escape.
