Choose the Beach according to what you are looking for
The northern part of the Hotel Zone (km 3-8) has calmer waters, like a swimming pool. The eastern part (km 10 onwards) faces the open sea and has stronger waves and a more intense blue color.
Go to Isla Mujeres on your own
It is very easy and much cheaper to take the ferry on your own from Puerto Juárez or the Hotel Zone and rent a golf cart there, instead of booking an expensive tour.
The Culture of Tipping
Tipping is the norm and expected for good service. 10-15% in restaurants, and small tips for bellboys, waitresses and bartenders are greatly appreciated.
Cancún is not Representative of All of Mexico
Enjoy Cancun for what it is: an incredible beach resort. But keep in mind that its atmosphere is very international and does not reflect the diversity and culture of the rest of the country.
The Sun is Deceptive
Even on cloudy days, the Caribbean sun is very strong. Use high SPF sunscreen, reapply after swimming, and wear a hat.
Always Bottled Water
Don't drink tap water. All hotels and restaurants use purified water, so iced drinks and salads are safe.
The Hotel Zone is a Safe Bubble
The Cancun Hotel Zone is extremely safe, with only one entrance and exit road and a lot of surveillance. You can feel very safe there.
Beware of Timeshares
At the airport and on the street, people will approach you offering cheap tours or gifts. They are often very persistent timeshare salespeople. A firm 'no, thank you' is usually enough.
