Been there 8-9 times. Always great weather. Beautiful beaches. Looking forward to hitting it up this spring again before the boat hits the water. Enjoy!

This is my new favorite Winter spot. The value in this trip is amazing. The travel, lodging and people are hard to beat.

I am going in March for a good friends bachelor party. I haven't been to Cancun, but looking forward to it for sure.

I've been there several times, dating all the way back to 1997 or so.
1) It's still Mexico, even though it feels like LA. Don't let your guard down.
2) Be careful anytime you venture outside of your resort.
3) Don't get into a Taxi with more than one person in the front seat; or one that is not marked appropriately.
4) Don't venture off the main drag when you are out bar hopping/shopping.
5) Downtown might as well be the projects in Chicago, no reason.
6) One of the BEST adventures I've ever had was renting the VW Dune Buggies and doing the guided tour to the fresh water centotas in the mountains. I'll never forget that trip.
7) If you want to see more than Cancun, Riviera Maya and Playa Del Carma are both quite nice, but make sure you secure, secure travel, between locations.

Skip Cancun and head down the coast to Tulum unless all inclusive is your choice.

Good to know. We rented a golf cart on Isla Mujeres yesterday, super fun day trip.

Xel Ha' used to be a cool place. Haven't been there since the late 90's though. Tulum is always fun.
