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

ARE PARTS IN CANCUN ACCESSIBLE

Hi,

Is it better to take a bus or rent a car to go to Isla Holbox? I was thinking of staying there 2-3 days. Is the parking lot in Chiquila safe? Thanks!

Where did yiu swim with the dolfins?

Hi

I will be travelling to Mexico from the UK in a few weeks. Is the application for the Tourist Card/FMT Form something that can be completed on the plane or does it now have to be applied for online prior to travel ?

Thanks

Hello!
My husband and I are traveling to a Cancun all-inclusive later this year to celebrate anniversary. My main criteria is a GOOD beach! So far, have narrowed it down to Westin Resort and Spa at end of hotel zone (due to best reviews of beach) . Any thoughts? Thank you!

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?

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.

I am looking at Cancun for later in the year i have never been we want a nice hotel with good food and entertainment good for kids 4-5 star the better ones seem to be further out dose this matter are there busses as we wont be driving and would like to travel to centre any suggestions would be appreciated

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!

We are flying in to the Cancun airport in June. I would rather book a shuttle to take us to the hotel than take a taxi. How do I find names, phone numbers, or websites for shuttles in Cancun?

My boyfriend (22) and I (19) are planning a trip to cancun in march. We are trying to find an all-inclusive hotel that has nice rooms, good food, and preferably domestic and international drinks included. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if all Hilton Cancun guests are required to wear wrist bands?

Does anyone know where to hire a video camera in or around Cancun please?

Hello Folks
We are holidaying at El Dorado Sea Side, Riviera Maya at the end of May.
We would like to hire a car for a few days to explore by ourselves. Is it safe to do this and what kind of deal should I be looking for.
Any advice is welcome and I will acknowledge all replies.

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!

Does anyone have experience with: 1. Grand Oasis Caribbean Resort or 2.Gran Bahia Principe Tulum. I plan to go there spring break with family. What about spring breakers situation?

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a nice 4 or 5 star hotel in Cancun that is a good choice for a family with kids 5 and 9 years of age. I haven't been to Cancun in about 10 years and wonder what new activities there might be as well. Thanks.

how much does it cost to go from playa to cancun on the bus ??

Going to Cancun again, and this time we will get to Parque de las Palapas. Question is, are there bands in the afternoon as well as evening on Saturdays ?

Hello,
I want to know, from where can I buy my tickets? because on the site nothing works, if i want to buy it from the Coco Bongo site, don't work........

another things, tell me please what they mean with free drinks and beverages?

Hi All,

I hope someone can help my friends, who lost their Nikon Coolpix Camera with all their holiday pictures of 5 weeks touring. Unfortunately the fotocards were also stashed in the black bag in which it was. 6 gig = 1500 pictures of the whole vacation. Not a very nice homecoming to find out you lost it in yr cab at the other side of the world :-(
THey are mainly interested in the cards, the camera they don't mind much, its replacable but 2x 1 gb and 1x 4 gb SD cards, they would love to have back so they can remember and show us one great holiday, except for that last day.
I hope some can help us and knows something. We're living in Holland, so there is no option to go back and search, but a wonderful Dutch lady allready helps with the taxisearch, but maybe someone found it....

Thank you very much if you know anything.

Regards,
Carla, Yvonne en Bart.

Can anyone recommend a nice hotel that would include all of these activities somewhere around Cancun or up to 90 minutes south?

Thanks

Flying in and looking for an inexpensive B+B or hotel for one day near/on the beach to "acclimate" before backpacking with family for 2 weeks.

Any suggestions/ideas?

In advance, thanks!

I'd like to take the bus to Merida as soon I get into Cancun (on a Saturday at noon). What is the best/cheapest way of getting to the bus terminal from the airport? If you could please include the approximate time and price, that would be great! Thanks in advanced.

Thinking of renting a car and driving to Tulum (from Cancun) on Thu, Nov 27th and wanted to see if anyone is interested in joining. Room for 1 more (2 or 3 more will probably be too congested). Will decide if I'm going to rent a car or take a bus based on replies. Flexible on how much time to spend there, what time to leave, etc. Please email to my VT mail with your contact info, if interested.

It's really horrible to go and sit out by the pool or the beach and have the smell of smoke or cigars wafting through the air when you are trying to enjoy the smell of the ocean and fresh air. Are there any resorts with NON SMOKING policies in ALL the areas? Thanks so much for any leads.

Is there a free or cheaper option available for the Internet access within the Hotel Zonera in Cancun? I just found out that the hotel (Marriott) I will be staying in charges around $20/day for 24hr internet access. Not sure if that's the typical daily rate in the hotel zone but thought to check with the others here to see if they have any suggestions or tips that could save me some $$$. I wouldn't mind taking my laptop somewhere within the walking distance of the hotel to get on the net while I am there. TIA.

Do I need to convert US dollars into pesos for my visit to Cancun? Based on what I read, it seems that almost all transactions can be done in US$. Since I am taking some bus/ferry rides, I think I would need some pesos. Can someone please confirm or provide any clarity?

TIA
