Answer 1

If you go to www.tripadvisor.co.uk it gives you loads of good information on places, so just type in Cancun at the top n it'll all come up.  Also there are forums on there too so u can ask on it and look back n see if someone has asked a similar question.  It also will tell you good places to eat n stuff too.  Well worth a look : )

Answer 2

I've been going to Cancún for years and have NEVER had a problem with insects. Yes, they are there, but it's not bad at all I don't think. If you are staying in a good hotel you shouldn't run into cockroaches. All the hotels I've been at over the years I've never seen cockroaches in them. As far as mosquitoes go I've never had a problem with those either. Like I mentioned there are insects in Cancún, but not as bad as everyone leads you to believe. If you are staying in a good hotel/resort I really doubt that you will ever see one. You will see more iguanas than cockroaches and mosquitoes. Good luck and have fun...Cancún is the best place in the world.

mark........there are insects in Cancun........it is a tropical destination.  as far as cockroaches.......they sure do live here......some of them wear high heels they are so big.  common to any tropical destination.  but if you are not staying in a 1 or 2 star hotel.....the chances of meeting up with one in your rooms is very unlikely.  mosquitoes can be a problem, but not so much in the hotel zone.  the resorts spray for insects daily and the streets are sprayed for mosquitoes.  don't worry........just enjoy the beauty of cancun.

hiya,

there will be some mosquitoes if you are out at dawn or dusk.

but presumably you will be in a good hotel if it's your honeymoon!!

so you shouldn't see roaches if you're in an all-inclusive air-conditioned hotel. Especially if there is no food in your room. But like the other person said, if you go to a hot country then you might and should expect to maybe stumble across one. Hey just get your new wife to squash them!! or get the marriage annulled if she won't haha

Look, just concentrate on the good stuff okay? keep it in perspective. have a great time !!

Answer 9

You can't reasonably expect to go to the tropics and not find insects. There are some mosquitos. It's not a big problem, but you might want to buy some insect repellent.

- Quintana Roo (state where Cancun is) is not a Spanish destination. It's very Mayan. It was granted statehood within the United Mexican States on October 8, 1974 when the population of the territory surpassed 100,000. The Mexican government did not even have military control over the region until the mid 1930's.
