Cancun Mexico for a week Jan 23-31 - Need Ideas

18 Jan 2012

Hello to all, Looking for some ideas.

I'm going to Cancun Mexico with a bunch of friends and staying at the Oasis, I've heard by many, its party central. We enjoy drinking tea and nibbling on biscuits, so we decided to go check it out. lol

I'm looking for ideas on activities/bars/clubs things to do or not to do etc etc. We're all pretty crazy and will try almost anything, money isn't an option. I make lots being a part-time male escort to blind women. Whistle

Joking!

Yep, it's party central. You'll be right in the middle of all the mega-clubs and many are all-inclusive drinking. ie. you pay a flat fee like $50 and drink all night. They go all-night long too, so you can party til the sun comes up. I liked Coco Bongo and I went to an amazing house-music event at Dady'O. There's pretty much something on that main strip to suit all music/partying tastes.

You should also check into taking a cab ride or even a nice A/C greyhound bus into Playa Del Carmen for a day/evening. It's super cheap and about an hour away but you can sleep on the way to and from and PDC is awesome - much more chill than Cancun and more of a european/miami-beach type vibe. Sometimes the spring-break stuff you get in Cancun can be a bit overdone. There's great nightlife in PDC and fun shopping/beaches during the day. The bus will drop you off right on Fifth Ave where the main action is.

I far prefer PDC to Cancun in general.

Other tips:
* Negotiate a flat-fee with your cab driver from point A to point B before accepting the ride of you can end up getting ripped off as they take you on the 'long route'.
* Don't buy your drugs from random dudes that come up to you on the street. Find someone at a stationary location (a store preferably) so that they can't give you bunk and then just disappear.
* Be cautious with renting jetskis on the beach etc. I've seen people get scammed after-the-fact. The "don't worry, I won't call the cops if you give me $500 USD" barter does happen.
* You can buy Viagra over the counter in any Mexican drug store if you're feeling experimental.
* It can get kind of chilly at night in January, and Cancun gets a bit more wind than PDC - more of an issue for girls though since we tend to wear less clothes.

Bhahahahahaha, you absolutely made me laugh! Thank you. i think i have friends that are going to PDC, cause that sound really familiar, I'll have to send him a text and see, he's actually leaving the night before us. I heard about Coco, everyone tells me I need to check it out for a night, will absolutely do.
Thank you for taking the time, exactly what I was looking for. Since i'm a guy, and i park in a bluezone, I will print out what u said, and read it when we brain storm ideas. Once again, thank you!

Hey Doll,

I tried doing some of the activities recommended, but I didn't account for travel sickness/day drunk to some of my group members! How ever, I manage to make it out every night to keep my body hydrated! lol But some how was unable to make it out for breakfast, the following morning. We went to Coco Bongo, and it was a total blast, the music wasn't all that great for dancing, but the performance was unreal and worth it! We went on a boat/booze ride to an island,which was a blast, one of my fav moments, next to skinny dipping in the ocean with 3 very promiscuous ladies! lol Who, decided to chuck away my boxer, which i later found washed up on the beach the next morning. lol

Anywho, thank you for recommendations, take care and enjoy! Chat soon.

Crap, saw this too late. Hope you didn't drink the water or anything with ice cubes.
