“Against All Odds” (1984) was shot near Cancún on Isla Mujeres and at the Maya ruins of Tulum and Chichén Itzá.
Cancún didn't exist: in the late 1960s, the government had an IBM computer pick this deserted sandbar as the ideal resort site.
At Playa Delfines (El Mirador), the big free public beach, come early to photograph the CANCÚN sign before the crowds.
