Destination: Cancun, Objective: Spring Break!

A March 2000 trip to Cancun by Jenn126

There is nothing crazier than Cancun during spring break. It seems like every college kid in American packs a bag and heads south of the border to this party city for spring break. Fun trip!

The strip is the best bet for nightlife. There are lots of bars, restaurants, shops, and sights along this street, and almost every moment of spring break on this street looks like a party. What I remember most is how much color and life the whole place seemed to have, and with the balmy air, blue skies, palm trees and constant sunshine, I really felt like I was in paradise.

Quick Tips:

Beware of locals. Some love to mess around with tourists, and they will send you in the wrong direction, try to overcharge you in stores, in cabs, even by selling you items on the street. Get around on your own as much as you can, and if you need to ask a local, ask, but take what they say with a grain of salt.

Best Way To Get Around:

You can drive, but most of the tourists take the bus or taxis. Taxis tend to get expensive (especially with drivers trying to take you for all you're worth), so stick to the bus. It runs all the way up the strip, past most hotels, and only costs about 1-2 bucks (American). If you're staying in a hotel on the strip, just walk everywhere. You won't regret it.

Attraction

This is an all out dance club at the end of the strip in Cancun. It's big, with a bar inside, and dance floor all around it. It's the club in Cancun that is most like a New York dance club, and consequently, this is where you are most likely to run into New Yorkers who are vacationing in Cancun. Be prepared for lots of house and party dance music. The bartenders will take care of you, and if they offer you a shot, do it. Otherwise they'll tip your head back and pour it down your throat. There is also an outdoor area and bar that's great for mingling. Get there before midnight...a big line forms afterwards.
