Cancún has a beach, a strong party scene and is very touristy. To be honest, I’m not a fan. Everything is overpriced, the city itself isn’t really nice and there isn’t an incredible amount to do either. So yeah… So if you’re into completely overpriced all-inclusive party holidays and sizzling in the sun, fair enough. The rest of you can safely use Cancún as an arrival point if you arrive by plane and then leave it behind relatively quickly. Because the only two things that are really worthwhile are Coco Bongo (a party that can only be found in Playa del Carmen) and a day trip to Isla Mujeres (beautiful). Accordingly, I’ve kept it short here 😉 However, flying to Cancún is quite cheap because of all the American tourists. 😀
