Cancun: escape gringo central ASAP
Cancun! I really feel that a visit to just Cancun doesn't do Mexico justice. This is probably one of the most Americanized, modernized city in Mexico. It's a big tourist trap. Prices are high, alcohol overflows the streets, and partying dampers the lovely spirit of the Mayan Riviera. If you are looking for a more tranquile location with a good tourist infrastructure, then head to the Europeanish Playa del Carmen. If you want to be away from the crowds, then rent a bungallow near Tulum.
