Insider Tip:go to coco bongos and the city, best nightclubs! go do expore
A part from the beach there is absolutely nothing to do in Cancun. From Cancun you can take several day-trip to nearby tourist attractions such as Chitzen-Itza and Tulum. However, tour agencies overcharge you, so just take the public bus from the terminal.
It's a place to spend just a day or a passing by place. If you intend to stay longer try other beaches around: Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen, Tulum...
Insider Tip:Parque Las Palapas is a wonderful place to eat some traditional food. All around they have small places selling quesadillas, taquitos and others. Really nice for those who like Mexican food.
CAncun is an expensive place to travel if you are looking to spend the least amount of money possible. It is very touristy so you will look at spending more money on dinners and tourist activities. The clubs are usually open bar but you may have to pay a large cover to get in. (Unless your a hot chick you may be able to work a deal=) There were more "Americanized" resturaunts when if you really want the culture experiance you will have to travel into downtown to get that. Most everyone speaks english so you will not be embraced in the latin mexican "culture" If you are out for agreat party I for sure reccomend this place the bars ensure you have a wild time. I suggest going to TULUM and Chitze-nitza there you will find great history of the mayan ruins. They have shopping malls that are very nice and also expensive. The beaches here are beautiful.
Insider Tip:Use the bus it is 65 cents or 65 pesos which is very cheap compared to the taxis. Save your taxi rides for the drunk rides home late at night!
Great place to stay for a weekend. If there's no weather then u will probably spend the whole time at the restaurants. They r pretty good in here (I mean the downtown). Beautiful beach:) Lots of oportuities of water sports:) If u can visit also Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Chichen Itza. Takes from 1 upto 3 hrs to get to those places and they are really worth to see once u r here:)
