Acapulco or Cancun? (for Winter Break)?

Question

Pretending there is no limit on money or time, which is better?

Please give me some recommendations or suggestions...

Answer 1

The Riviera maya area is a wonderful place to take the family. I like Cancun but it's very touristy. Plenty of families vacation there.

In Cancun, I like the Dreams Cancun Resort. They have dolphins you can swim with on property. The resort is in a great location (shopping, ferries, buses)

Any of the Palace resorts are also excellent.

If you want to go somewhere in the US. I would pick Arizona and take the kids to the Grand Canyon. It will give you the goosebumps. Awesome.

Answer 3

Cancun, there is more to do, dont fly the Mexican airline though, go like american or united or something from the USA, and is way better cause its on the gulf of mexico which is drop dead gorgeous and if you really wanted the best mexican place to visit, you would go to Cozumel, it is the most beautiful place in Mexico

Answer 4

Cancun in the hotel zone is a piece of Paradise. The hotels are beautiful with white sandy beaches,  the hotel zone is shaped like a seven, at the top of the seven the beaches are nice and the water calm, down the side of the seven the water is rougher and there are some big rocks, but the sun shines on the beach all day, where up top the hotels some times block the sun depending on how tall they are.

Cancun is very safe as long as you stay in the hotel zone and the people working there are very , friendly. For kids there is alot to do as families on excursions, and some hotels have entertainment coordinators to get people play games around the pool.

Now Cancun is a big party spot from the second week of February to the second week of April. I wouldn't avoid this area because of this but during this time people are loud and drunk, still friendly and funny to watch but it does get crowed.

Now in MIA River at the bottom of the seven there are hotels more focused on families and might be a better fit for you during the spring break, Moon palace is a good resort.  and on the seven rui palace is a good resort.

As far as Acapulco, its more busy with everyday business, the beaches arnt as nice and because of the drug wars sometimes it not the safest place to be. But that's what I heared from others, that have been there, Ive only been to cancun.

To have a great trip remeber to tip, you'll be suprised to see how much a dollar and a smile can get you in cancun. These people again are friendly and work hard for the 20 dollars a day wage, if you are rude to any of the staff at any place, you are going to have trouble getting good service afterwards.

Use the safe in your hotel, never leave cash, cameras, or passport out in the open. Bring some sented air fresheners(fer breeze) , because of the air conditioning being on 24/7 some of the rooms can smell damp or musty.

When leaving, anything you dont need to bring home, like shampoos, tylonal, just leave in your room on the bed when you check out, the staff will defintaly be able to use anything left behind.  

Have a great trip where ever you go.

Answer 5

With over Six Thousand miles of coastline in Mexico to choose from, those are your top two destination selections?

How sad and unimaginative.Why not get off the "Gringo Trail" and take the kids to see some of the "Real Mexico".

Answer 6

Acapulco.  Cancun is more aimed towards young 20 somethings.
