Cancun here I come....

Anyone with any ideas, tips, etc for traveling to Cancun? Any restaurants that we should visit? I would love information on any and all. Thanks! Enjoy your Travels. Pammie

Hey there! Well, I have been there quite a bit and can give you some tips First, ONLY drink bottled water, even if they tell you the water is OK, I dont trust it and you will get sick most likely. There are lots of restaurants there and quite a few American chains as well. I like El Shrimp Bucket, the wait staff was hilarious, fun and just really nice (they even threw one of the waiters out the window into the water, lmao!) What else do you like to do? If you like the ruins, I would recommend Chichen Itza or Tulum (Chichen Itza is the most well known, but Tulum is nice because it's on the beach and you can take a break and swim while visiting the ruins). There are also some snorkel parks that are nice but can be pricey, they are Xcaret, Xel-Ha and Garrafon. I have been to Xcaret and it was nice, but crowded. Down south of Can****here are also caves that you can snorkel in. I have been interested in doing that but have never done it, lol!! There is also Isla Mujeres which is the island off Cancun. It is really fun to go there, and there are places that can set up a day charter to Isla Contoy (an uninhabited bird island). You can fish for your meal, snorkel on the way and it's nice because it's not the typical touristy thing. Playa Del Carmen is a little south of Cancun and the place where you can take a ferry over to Cozumel. I like Playa Del Carmen because it is what Cancun was about 10 years ago, not so crowded and touristy. If you are looking just to relax, sit on the beach and sip pina coloda's well, you can do that in Cancun JUST fine and the beaches are wonderful. For more tips & tricks, go to www.cancun.com but regardless you cant go wrong, it's such a great place! Have fun! Judith

Hi Pammie, You may have already taken your trip... but if not.. take some Pepto Bismol.... I remember when I went I would take a some before I ate anything there. Have a great time, the other response offered you alot of great ideas. Cindy

Thank you so much for the Tip. I just hope I wont need it. And that brings me to a question. I thought Pepto has Aspirin in it and we are not supposed to take it. Do you know? Cause now I'm not sure. Thanks, Pammie

By far the best restaurant I ate at was La Dolce Vita. La Dolce Vita is in the hotel zone on the main highway. Watch for the coupon for the free appetizers in the tourist guides. It was so good, I ate there twice in the week I was there.

HI, Thanks for the reply. We will be sure to check that out while we are there. Looks like your Day is just around the corner. I wish you well with your surgery. Thanks. Pammie

Perico's restaurant. outrageously fun! Lots of audience participation...they carry food trays in on their heads,,,they do a huge conga line dance pulling patrons in as they wind through the large restaurant. fun fun fun!
