TomNg Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Hi everyone, I just booked a 4d3n ticket to Cancun next month August but have no idea what i am going to do over there :-) Can anyone recommend some hotels and things to do? Any recommendations would be appreciated because this is my first time to Cancun and I have no idea haha :-) Thanks Quote
vinapu Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I can recommend day trips to ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza. Count your money when exchanging at the airport, I still keep printout from adding machine showing 200*8=1400 !!!!!! and this is what I got instead of 1600. It was back in 1997 but I doubt much changed in their "mathematics" Quote

vinapu Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Since I'm not a beach person I stay in MARGARITA hotel downtown, not sure if it's still in existence under the same name but liked it because of really oversized room with big balcony Quote

vinapu Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 no , building looks different but location near bus station is similar. Perhaps they demolished old one and built that ,no idea . It was 19 years ago I was there , Hotels may change bur ruins recommended to see are still standing and crumbling Quote
Guest ryanasia Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 Take a taxi and go down to Playa Del Carmen for the day. It was nice enough at least 15 years ago when I was there. Quote
