Aaaaah Cancun, Mexico. Everyone's dream spring break vacation. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones that get to go here for spring break make sure to keep your wardrobe simple. Wear a light weight sun dress over your swimsuit and a big floppy hat for shade. If not bear foot on the beach, a pair of cute wedges should do the trick.
What are we going to do?
If your not going to spend your whole day laying out on the many beaches. There is always Cancun's famous water park, Wet n' Wild. If want to get out of the water and experience the real Cancun,you can visit downtown Cancun where a lot of the locals hang out.
Where are we going to eat?
For something out of the ordinary and truly unique, try dining at Los Almendros, with tradition Yucatecan food. Excellent Mexican cooking can also be found at El Mexicano, in a stunning reproduction of a 19th-century hacienda, and Perico’s, which has live Mariachi music.
Want something a little more fancy? Try fine dining at La Habichuela which is one of downtown’s favorites, now in operation for 18 years.
Where are we going to SHOP?
If its a shopping mall your looking for, try visiting Kukulkan Plaza which a 60,000 sqft shopping center that has over 250 shops. If you have a little more money to spend and want some Mexican Designer name pieces, go to Plaza La Isla. It's super trendy but super pricey.
If you want to haggle with the locals though for some good deals, Market 28 commonly called mercado veintiocho, is a good place to find souvenirs and handmade crafts. Also just take a walk through downtown and you'll find plenty of little booths to browse around in. Fair warning though, when entering a local booth, don't spend to much time in there unless your going to buy something or the owner of the booth will kick you out and tell the other booths not to let you in. You'll be forever nicknamed as El Cheapo.**
