Cancun

I have som many things planed had anyone been? Whats worth doing and whats not?

i don know e buvt that

Hi jly730. this plan is really great! spending the last 30 mins reading this has been so much more useful than the last 3 hours surfing the rest of the net! i am about to leave my work and have a two week window to take a trip to mexico so am heading their alone next friday - bit scared but looking fwd to getting my scuba certification and having a lovely break and your plan certainly helped allay my fears. would you be so kind as to let me know the source of all your trip notes? in return i promise to let you know how my own trip went and give you some recommendations for when you head there in september :) also do you have any recommendations of scuba schools maybe?

Hi, I just spent hours surfing and I am one of those planner type people. I read alot of reviews on travelocity and expedia. Trip advisior, exc... all off the net. Do you think it's better to get scuba certified here or there? Any recommendations you can give me would be great.

Have fun on your trip,

To jly730, don't wory about geting scuba certifed here, you only need to be certified if you would like to dive alone or really deep. most resorts offer a training course where you get instruction for a hour on all of the equiptment and then dive in the pool for an hour. after that you are ready to hit the palencar reef. The instructors dive w/ you, and I thought it was cool because they keep you safe and they are basicly underwater tourguides. chicen itza is a long bus ride(2.5h one way)...lots of walking...very hot, just buy the post cards and you won't miss much. have a great time.

It only took one trip to fall in love with the white sand beaches and the aqua blue/green waters. I was very comfortable due to all the familiar American franchises and the great tap water. Yes! you can drink the tap water while staying at anyone of the many high quality resorts and hotels on the "zona hoteleria."

returned from Cancun just a week ago---rained everyday! But I say a rainy day in Paradise beats a sunny day at work anytime! The vegetation still remain as scraggling reminders of Wilma October 21, 2005 and some hotels are not reopened as of this date. Over all recommend any Cancun vacation anytime---real estate prices have dropped off due to this years' prediction of inevitable bad hurricane weather---good time to buy a condo on Isla Parasio!!! Or, in the Zonas Hoteleria---have a great time

has anyone been to cancun this year? any advice anyone would like to share? thanks

I went to Cancun for Spring Break (7 days) and it was the most amazing place that I have ever been to! I went with my family and there is stuff for all ages. My parents would go to the ruins and we went on a small cruise to go swim with the dolphins. During the day you can sit by the pook and get an AMAZING tan and at night there are so many clubs. I recomend Coco Bongo! And if you go to Cancun, bring lots of cash (try not to use your credit card), don't ride in the taxi's ha ha unless your going to a far away place (take the bus its only $1) We stayed at the all-inclusive Royal Solaris Carib and the food and drinks were outstanding! I met so many people there it was great. I recomend this trip to anyone
