Skeleton Restaurant in Cancun
Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 05:03 PM UTC

A long time ago I had visited a restaurant downtown Cancun that was painted with skeletons dancing, having fun, etc. It was great and the food was delicious. Does ANYONE know the name of it. I'm returning in July.

Thank you

Anyone ever stayed at the Royal Sunset Resort in Cancun?
Posted: Sun May 17, 2009 09:02 PM UTC

I was just there in December and I must say it's probably one of the best resorts i ever stayed at. It's top notch. My friend stayed at another resort the last time she went, which was across the water from the Royal Sunset and she said it wasn't nearly as nice as this one.

Could someone help me and tell me how I can contact this mall from Canada. THANK YOU!

Bull Fighting in Cancun
Posted: Sat April 18, 2009 04:57 PM UTC

I understand that there is a bullfighting show in Cancun, Plaza del Torros on Wed afternoons. I have never been to a bullfight before. Has anyone been to it that can advise if its worth the US$33? In your opinion, is it OK for kids around 4 to 8yrs or too gory? Any other tips on this will be welcome. Thanks for your views

Exit Duty
Posted: Sun March 15, 2009 08:26 PM UTC

We are arriving and departing Mexico via the Cancun airport. I have been searching for up to date information on the exit duty (or departure tax) and can only find general references. What is the current exit duty and should we be prepared to pay in pesos or do they expect US dollars from US citizens?

Scuba in Cancun
Posted: Sun March 15, 2009 04:11 AM UTC

We're heading to Cancun soon, for the first time. I'm a diver and would like to do some diving on this trip. I'm wiling to travel to Cozumel (CZM). But heard that I need to go to Playa del Carmen (PDC) first, because the ferries are there. Any advice from divers that's been to that area? Dive operators, maybe spend one night in PDC or CZM. TIA.

Need help with Cancun Vacation.
Posted: Tue March 10, 2009 12:38 AM UTC

Hello everyone,

Me and my girlfriend (25 and 22) are going to Cancun for a week or two this towards the end of April. We really want to enjoy the place but we're on a tight budget. So can anyone help us with some questions:

1. do you know of any place to rent for a couple on a weekly basis, preferably with a pool and beach or near beach access? doesn't need to be posh or anything, would be great if there's a/c and a kitchen and a shower. How much do you think would it cost?

2. can we rent a scooter so we can roam around and explore the sights freely? how much?

3. what places do we need to see at Cancun or at it's adjacent places?

4. any other tips for first timers?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Mexico City to Cancun in 4 days, what should I see & how?
Posted: Sat January 24, 2009 04:41 AM UTC

Hi there,

I am thinking about going from Mexico City to Cancun in about four days. I was thinking about doing possibly Puebla, Palenque and Chichén-Itzá as stops. I am an independent traveler and Spanish speaker, possibly taking buses. Is it doable? What buses would you take? What stops would you do? Any good overnight buses that I can take? Any other places where you would stop? thanks!
