My wife and I chose Cancun for our honeymoon and we were not disappointed. We chose an all-inclusive hotel which was fantastic: all the food and drink that you wanted and the facilities were very good, with the beach next to the hotel. Cancun is a relatively new resort and so consequently all the infrastructure is in place to provide a resort that has a lot of choice for everyone, with good public transport and all entertainment centrally located. There were a few problems which thankfully did not detract from our enjoyment. Firstly, I would advise anyone going NOT to take american dollars, as when you expect change after paying for something, you will get your change in mexican pesos. This would not be a problem as such, but most people, be they shopkeepers or stall attendants were very crafty, often bringing in their own 'exchange rate' or unashamedly short-changing you. I guess the Mexicans have learnt a lot from the Americans in how to make money from the tourists, because excursions were also very expensive. I do not want to sound like I am putting the place down too much, becuase if you go and have your wits about you the you will enjoy yourself. My tip is to get an all-inclusive hotel, but make sure you get one that is recommended. Another thing, you have to pay around thirty pounds EACH in airport taxes which I thought was scandalous.
