Playa del Carmen is better than Cancun.
by blue-azteca
you should consider going to Playa del Carmen. Playa del Carmen is just 45 minutes south of Cancun and a 40-min ferry ride to Cozumel. It's got a great nightlife lasting as late as you wish. Also, if you're not into diving in Cozumel, you can always go to Tulum to see the Mayan ruins. Playa has some great places to stay right on the beach. www.beachcondoplayadelcarmen.com Enjoy.
A good resort is always nice...

I was invited to Cancun by a friend. Surprinsingly, the price of the trip, including accomodation and round flight tickets was 400 dollars for a 4-day stay...
Meals, drinks, discos and all the activities were included. We would have spend much more if we were've gone on our own. This time backpacking was a little bit more expensive...
I had a great time in the area. You can easily visit some towns and archaeological sites around the area. Undoubtedly a place to relax and forget about the daily stress...

TULUM
Little mayan archeological ruins at 119 kms from Cancun. These ruins are unique, as they are at the sea shore, in a small beach facing the sea. They were not inhabited, but used for sacrificial purposes. The main building is called 'The Castle'. You can't miss it, is the tallest tower.

The visit to this archeological site is one of the MUSTS of your stay in Cancun. A bit far (201 kms, road 180) inside the peninsula, you can do this trip in 2 days, sleeping in Merida, a marvellous colonial city not far from the ruins.
Main highlights:
The temple of the warriors, with a pyramid-temple, you'll recognise it by the esplanade with many columns. See photos at the travelogue
The Castle (see photo), the main pyramid. Every year at certain days (equinox) you can see a shadow with the shape of a snake 'going down' the stairs.See photos at the travelogue
The Ball's Playground, a big (168 x70 m) playground where the famous 'Ball Games' took place. Two teams fighted with elbows and knees to introduce a leather ball through a stone ring. The losers were sacrified!!!See photos at the travelogue
The Snail, an astronomic building, round shaped.See photos at the travelogue
