Who are you trying to convince here, Melis? lol

Boooooooo Cancun......PVR #1....wrong bullentin board buddy

One of the best restaurants to eat at in Cancun is Los Almendros ... if it is still there. My last visit was 15 years ago but the food was great and we were the only gringos in the place. It is off the beaten path near downtown but the taxi drivers should know it. When I was last there we got appetizers, dinner, dessert and 4 beers apiece and the total bill with tip was less than $20 US.

thanks for the tips everyone i will def post a report when i get back and let you know how much better pv is! lol

Hi Melis,we also stayed in Cancun at the Crown Paradise your hotel was next door. The beach here is on the open side - like the previous poster stated beware of the tides. Watch for the flags they post denoting ocean conditions. Its a beautiful stretch of beach. I would recommend a ferry trip (short ride) to the Isle Mujeres a small island off the coast. This is \"the isle of women\" - where the pirates would leave their families when away on raids. Very scenic and you can walk everywhere. have lunch, shop and visit great beaches. We found most of the malls and shopping (hotel zone) to be similar to the stores at home. If you venture into Cancun city (probably around $20-$25 US cab fare from your hotel) you will feel like you are in Mexico. If you want to see ruins Tulum is the closest option . I am sure you and your friends will have a memorable trip -keep an eye out for each other when you are clubbing.

Melis, I have not been to Cancun, but I can tell you the Caribean is beautiful! Much different from PV. (PV is beautiful in a different way with the mountains, the sunsets, the old village feel, and the people). You will have great opportunities to snorkel and enjoy the beautiful beaches. You will be with your friends on the beach in Mexico. So enjoy and be careful. Have a great time!
