Seriously, fuck Cancun unless you're a 20 year old frat boy. It's one of the worst places in Mexico and you might as well just go to Daytona beach for vacation.
The rest of the Yucatan's pretty fantastic though.Seriously, fuck Cancun unless you're a 20 year old frat boy. It's one of the worst places in Mexico and you might as well just go to Daytona beach for vacation.
Yeah, exactly the reason not to go to Cancun-- there's so many better options including Playa where you won't get projectile vomited on by some 18 year old frat boy that things he owns the place 'cause he's 'Murican.The rest of the Yucatan's pretty fantastic though.
If you're looking for a smaller, boutique all inclusive on the Riviera, the Azul Fives was really nice:Azul Fives Hotel Suites & Room Types - Official Site | Karisma Hotels
Pretty decent options for food, service was good, etc etc. Was there last summer for a friend's wedding (seriously though, fuck going to Mexico in July). It's also really close to Playa, so it's only a five or ten minute ride to the main strip if you want to get out of the resort.
Nah man, the attitude in Canada/Europe regarding alcohol is a lot different than the states. Sure, teenage drunken buffoonery is universal, but proportionally speaking it's far more prolific in American teens. One of the first things I noticed when I moved to Dallas is how teens and people in their early twenties drink with the purpose of blacking the fuck out-- there's no stop button. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the taboo culture and the heavily enforced drinking age. In Canada you can easily get into bars starting around 16. In Europe you can pretty much buy beer/wine out of vending machines at any age.. So when you have 18 year olds that have little experiencing handling their liquor arriving in a country where they can now legally drink, the obvious happens..That's all drunk 18 year olds. Not just American.
Would hit you up on cruises except my wife hates them more than anything else in existence.Yeah I was impressed with both, but the food was better at Secrets. There is a beach Cabana guy there named Oscar (Hope he is still there because we plan on going back). We would slip him a 20 in the morning, and a 20 before we left the beach. The guy can read minds. "I sure could use some.." "HEY! MR UT! I brought you some fish tacos!"... "I am kind of tired of the fruity drinks... I could use a coro..." "HEY MR UT! I bought you a Corona!" The guy was the best.
Cabo was very good too and this was even after the hurricane. (We went in December 2014). The resort itself was fantastic with wait staff, completely adult only, quieter, but still able to drink and mingle with everyone (We met a lot of great people from Canada. In Fact, my wife and I add a few couples to Facebook as friends and we are now planning a Cruise in 2017 with the one of the couples). The food wasn't the best though. All inclusives usually have decent food, and the breakfast and lunches were good, along with the room service and such, but the dinner's were pretty bad. A really plain italian dish one night, and this weird ass roast with gravy for one of the others. The swim up bar is great though. And buckets of beer, etc. The other only downside here is you can't swim the ocean because of the current. You need to go to the Sister resort, but it's a free shuttle ride and only about 4 minutes - if swimming in the ocean is your thing.
If you are looking for any tips let me know. From Cruise lines, Hawaii, Mexico, Bahamas, Virgin islands, etc. I have a lot of experience with some very good places and let you know where not to look as well.
How was Tel Aviv btw?Would hit you up on cruises except my wife hates them more than anything else in existence.
I just booked 2 weeks all inclusive at Playa Del Carmen, 1st September - 15th, hopefully the rainy season doesn't start too badly.
Anyone got any more tips or things to do?/see
Are you in Playa, North of it(Riviera Cancun) or South of it(Riviera Maya)? I ask because it depends on how long the excursions will take.
I will suggest the Xel-Ha Park because it is amazing and the whole day is worth it just for the cave.
My hotel is on Playa Paraiso, Playa del Carmen 77710, Mexico.
