H and I are in the beginning stages of planning a week-long trip to Mexico for later this year. We definitely want to do Cancun, but I'm not sure if a whole week there is what we want. I was thinking of maybe doing 4 nights in Cancun and 3 nights somewhere in Riviera Maya.
Have any of you done something similar? Any thoughts, experiences, advice welcome!
We didn't do either, but if you're looking for somewhere not too far away and different than Cancun we stayed on Isla Mujeres for four days and it was really nice. It's very quiet at night, the main beach is beautiful, and there are good restaurants. This web site is very helpful for planning: www.isla-mujeres.net/home.htm
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. Mark Twain
Agree with others to spend more time in Riviera Maya - PDC, Tulum, Akumal. Unless you really like to drink and party - then Cancun might be more your thing.
