Question

at cancun as far as worst hotels and food and even people lol meaning the locals

Answer 1

In Cancun's Hotel Zone, there are literally hundreds of restaurants, clubs, bars and shops, all within 20 kilometers. I recommend you pick up a guidebook with lots of listings, or you're only going to get a tiny portion of what is really available.

For starters, Cancun has hundreds of restaurants. For Mexican, gourmet cuisine type I reocmmend the following:

Hacienda Sisal

La Casa De Las Margaritas

La Destileria

Paloma Bonita

Hacienda El Mortero

For more moderate priced Mexican fare:

Casa Tequila

Taco Factory

Xtabentun

Super Tropcial

For Seafood you should go to:

Mitachi Seaside Grill

Laguna Grill

Lorito Joe's Lobster Shack

Mocambo

For more moderate priced seafood:

J.C. Capitan

El Fish Fritanga

La Palapa at the Villas Kin Ha

Los De Pescado

For Italian

Cenacolo

Limoncello

La Madonna

Casa Rolandi

Alfredo Di Roma

Dolcemente Pompei

I can go on and on, just pick up a travel guide and you'll be better off. As far as shopping, you can get great souvenirs at Plaza La Fiesta (several HZ locations), Coral ***** and Plaza El Zocalo flea markets. The shopping malls have lots of stores that sell all sorts of souvenirs, in fact you should pick up silver jewelry at the malls.

The best club is probably Coco Bongo, however you should not miss Señor Frog's, Carlos 'n Charlie's, The City, Bulldog Cafe, Dady 'O, Dady Rock and the latin music clubs Azucar and Mambo Cafe. There are so many clubs, too many to mention, but you'll find most of them in the Party Center at the Km 9 area.

As far as what to avoid, don't drink the water if you can help it. Seriously, it's not because there's anything really wrong with it, it's just because your system will not be used to the microrganisms that are present in a tropical environment. I recommend you go to a health food store before you travel and pick up a bottle of acidophilus. You can eat plenty of yogurt while you travel, it does the same things, it's just that acidophilus makes it so you don't have to sit there eating yogurt all the time. Trust me, it's good for your digestive system to have the good cultures that are found in yogurt and acidophilus.

Have fun planning your trip,

Answer 2

The best places to buy souveniers, food, and relax are not in Cancun.  Take a bus 20-30 minutes south to Playa Del Carmen.  In my opinion, Cancun is too much like the Mexican version of Las Vegas. It is fun, but other places are better. Playa Del Carmen is much more relaxed.  Also, you can take a short fery ride to Cozumel.  I would recommend you spend a night there also.  Maya ruins, great diving. Nice.

Don't get me wrong, Cancun is lots of fun.  I just ike other places more.
