7 Reasons to Visit Cancun Mexico
from: Dave MarkelCopyright 2006 Dave Markel
Cancun has transformed from a deserted strip of sand to a world
class destination for sun weary travelers in just 30 years. The
17 KM long hotel zone has resorts to fit any budget or
lifestyle. There are so many attractions in and around Cancun
that it is no wonder so many people choose to visit this jewel
in Mexico's crown. There are 7 great reasons why you should
visit Cancun
1. The Beaches - The first reason to visit Cancun is the
beaches. White coral sand that is so fine you will be picking
out of your belly button for weeks after you return home.
There is a 17 km long silver, white beach that is fully open and
accessible to the public. Along the east coast the surf rolls in
from the Caribbean Sea and creates a fun playground for those
looking to body surf the day away. Along the north coast the
beaches are sheltered from the waves and are calm, perfect for
small children or those looking for less wave action.
2. The Food - Looking for dinner in the hotel zone is an
experience in itself. There are restaurants for almost any type
of palette; Mexican, Italian, Continental cuisine plus a wide
selection of fast food and health conscience choices.
The interesting thing about walking through the hotel zone is
that you quickly realize the restaurants are in stiff
competition for your business. Restaurants hire staff to come
out to you on the street with a menu and offer you the most
amazing food creations. All restaurants have sample meals on
display outside vying to get you to come in. It often works,
seeing a lobster dinner and the likes as you walk past makes it
hard not be drawn inside.
3. The Shopping - Kukulkan Plaza is the show piece of Cancun's
shopping experience. With over 60,000 square meter of space and
250 shops there is no doubt that you will find exactly what you
are looking for. There are many other shops and boutiques that
offer everything from jewelry to authentic Mexican blankets and
crafts.
One of the best shopping experiences is the street vendors.
Gathering every afternoon and evening shoppers can find fabulous
art work and hand made jewelry made by local artisan.
4. The Resorts - The entire length of Cancun, all 17 KM, is
lined with mega resorts that offer travelers absolutely
everything you could want or imagine. Spa, restaurants,
recreation, you name it and there is a resort that provides it.
With an all inclusive package you will hardly need to leave the
resort for the duration of your holiday.
5. The Ruins - Cancun is surrounded by Mayan temples and ruins
that are as old as 2000 years. The most popular are Chichen Itza
and Tulum with tours visiting both locations daily. Bring lots
of film (memory card), sun screen and a bunch of money for
water, snacks and souvenirs.
6. The People - The locals in Cancun are wonderful. We have not
gone to Cancun yet where we weren't inspired by the kindness and
generosity of the locals.
7. The Ocean - It is hard to top the Caribbean. The water is as
warm as a bath and a deep turquoise color. For the divers out
there nearby Cozumel is rated one of the top diving sites in the
world. With a large Marine park divers can dive to majestic
coral walls and underwater pinnacles. Year round divers get
about 120 feet of visibility.
Cancun offers a great holiday for singles and families alike.
There is plenty to do and Cancun is under five hours by air from
most major North American Cities. If you are in need of a break
from the winter blahs give Cancun a try.
