we have being looking at cancun for our honeymoon in jan 08. Has anyone been in cancun?

Not too sure about HM but i know Cancun is huge for US college students on spring break

January is meant to be the best time to go to Cancun. You do get the students on Spring Break and during the summer and weather is great in January.

i'm booking it for feb08... i hope this is not in spring break time.
The hotel im looking at is an all inclusive called la blanc... look up all the hotel reviews on trip advisor...

I am going to Cancun this January and am not at all worried about spring breaks...cos I'd find it a bit weird that students would be going to five star all inclusive hotel anyway for a spring break.

I wouldn't get too bogged down with trip advisor cos they invariable say something awful about every single accommodation anyway. Cancun is meant to be beautiful according to people I know that have been there and I can't wait to go!!!

Good luck with your search for honeymoon cos it was one of my biggest reliefs when I finally booked it...big

B2BDec06 you will have to let me know how u get on and what the weather is like!! :lol:

just talking to h2b and he was saying that spring break is the last week in february so happy days!!! :lol:

hi guys
myself and h2b were looking at cancun last night and tha is wha we have decided on for july08 its about 3500 all inclusive for 2 weeks. as for students i dont reaaly care if it isnt students its kids IYKWIM :D

Where did u see the 5* places

Tropical Places is very good for 5* places

LA BLANC is 5* i think and looks fab.... what hotels are people booking

i was looking at secrets excellence but it is changing ownership at the end of the yr so decided aganist that! H2b was talking to someone that went to the RIU PALACE 5*hotel on there honeymoon and loved it! Tropical Places do this hotel and here is the tripadvisors page.

I was in Riu Cancun (next door to Palace) and it was great. I had hear Riu Palace is more for an older quieter crowd as Riu Cancun has more fun stuff going on.

U are the second person to say that to me today so me and h2b have decieded on the RIU cancun. Just have to get prices! who did u book with?

I've been to Cancun and loved it but I think Playa del Carmen (10 mins down road from Cancun) is better for a HM or else the island of Cozumel. I'm going to Occidental Royal Hideaway in Playa del Carmen for fine. Check it out - its pricy but amazing http://www.royalhideaway.com/[/url
Anyone been?

Cancun has excellent infrastructure & facilities (completely purpose built) but it is very lively, like the American version of the Canaries for us. They have great restaurants & shops but Playa del carmen is a bit slower & nicer I think for a honeymoon.

Just to give some advice - if your hair tends to frizz invest in portable straighteners. The voltage is so low in Mexico that straighteners won't get hot when plugged in!
