Popular Things To Do:


Chicen Itza, 4.7 Stars
Mayan ancient ruins, two and a half hours away from Cancun, in the Yucatun jungles. This is a must see for people who are interested in history and Mexican culture.


Dolphin Discovery, 4.5 Stars
Swimming with dolphins. Dolphins will even kiss and dance with you! Customers also get to feed manatees and swim with sharks. This also comes with a Mexican buffet meal (great reviews). Reviews say negatives are the expensive pictures, but they are worth the price. This is a must see for anyone who loves marine life!


Xel-ha Park, 4.7 stars
Xel-ha Park is a marine park in Cancun. It has tons of activities, like zip-lining into a river, a lazy river, cliff jumping, and tubing. The park is also famous for snorkeling  (see picture), and people have seen several types of animals. This is a must see for anyone who loves marine life and fun!


Hotels
Cancun has some of the most beautiful resorts in the world. Prices range from $41 a night to $919+ a night.  Most of the hotels are right on the beach. The pictured hotel is Le Blanc Spa Resort, a five star hotel that starts at $620 a night.


Restaurants
Many resorts in Cancun have restaurants on their premises, but their are many in the city. Some popular ones are La Dolce Vita and Lorenzillo's. The pictured restaurant is a five star Basque restaurant called Tempo by Martin Berasategui. It's located in Hotel Paradius.

My Review (9)
In my opinion, I would give Cancun a 9 out of 10. I would love to put a 10, but I haven't visited yet, so I'm not sure. I might visit in January/February, though! I love that there's so many things to do, but the resorts are still relaxed and have a Caribbean feel.
