Radisson Hotel Hacienda Cancun, Cancun

Can I go there - Yes I Cancun

Advantages: Nice weather, beautiful scenery, spectacular wildlife
Disadvantages: Concrete jungle in parts of downtown

home, nice. So check that you have the key handy when you get there. Make sure you have enough US dollars on you when you leave to pay the exit tax, something like US$40 per person. Your hotel rep if you have one should be able to tell you the exact amount. The resort: If you're staying all-inclusive, check whether any day trips are included in the price of your accommodation. We should have had 2 free trips while we were there, but didn't take them up, which we kind of regret. Also if you're staying all-inclusive, you shouldn't have to tip while you're in the hotel. The sand around Cancun isn't silica-based like UK or European sand, it's mini-fossils that are hollow inside. This means that even in the searing midday sun it will feel cool on your feet, a very refreshing experience compared to scorching your feet in mad dashes ...

Review of Cancun (Mexico)

Home Sweet Cancun

Advantages: Friendly community, great food, great diving sites, peaceful
Disadvantages: Damaged due to natural disasters, Hotel Zone VERY commercial

You either - Love it or hate it. Just like marmite! Cancun is well known for the place to be for spring break students for partying, clubbing..just letting oneself go. But there is so much more to Cancun than meets the eye. Obviously, when tourists think about taking a holiday, the first thing many do, is search high and low for the best hotel/resort. And yes, Cancun does offer a wide range of brilliant hotels and services in The Hotel Zone, which I'm sure is agreeable for many. However, The Hotel Zone, is like being in the Western World. In fact, it is just like the States. But if you are looking for real adventure, tradition, culture, locals and much much more, then please read on. I am a person who enjoys travelling and exploring new cultures and traditions. I like to meet new people and communicate with them ...

Review of Cancun (Mexico)

Cancun - Don't waste your money

Advantages: The diving was excellent
Disadvantages: It's a manmade dump with overpriced restaurants and shops

selling trips at a better price but they all seemed to charge the same. Everything in the hotel zone is expensive. I don't really know how any of the locals manage to buy t-shirts from places like the Hard Rock Cafe, or eat in any of the restaurants as they charge more there as they do in the UK, regardless of the cost of living. Perhaps there are different prices for the locals. The one thing I did enjoy about our 2 week break was the scuba diving. We dived with a company called Nautilus Diving who were really excellent. The dives were all boat dives and they charged approximately $50 for 2 dives including equipment. They only took small numbers and the crew were really helpful. If it hadn't been for the diving I would have gone insane with boredom. It was the only thing that was value for money in Cancun. If I could've got a flight ...
