Hey guys, a group of my buddies are planning a trip to Mexico June 15-21st, and I was looking for some insights on the resort (specifically Sian Ka'an and its surrounding complex), as well as the time of year for going.

-Is this a peak time to call it our own Poosy Paradise?

-Any other resorts for the age group of 18-25?

-Personal Experiences in Mex, as well as the best clubs to attend?

-Mayan Riviera activities and such

Thanks for the help!

OK, be more specific. What do you want? Going to paradisiac places for scuba diving, snorkeling, sunbathing or for game?

All of those activities spark my interest. I'm specifically asking about the resort, how Mexico is in mid June for women tourists in the age bracket of 18-25, and the things there are to do in the Mayan area of Mexico.

OK, here we go. By Mayan Riviera you must understand the area that comprises the coastal resorts of Cancún, Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Aventuras and Tulum (and, in some way, Cozumel). Check out the map.

1. Cancún is the place you have to go if what you want to do is to meet women of any age. Your best option is to go to a beach all inclusive resort. Cancún is a ‘7’ shaped island where everything is at hand. All the hotels, clubs, restaurants, marinas, ferries, car rentals and other services are located at both sides of Avenida Kukulkán (Kukulkán Avenue). The airport is just 5 minutes away from the Hotel Zone and you don’t need to do much to get almost anything. Now, most of the all-inclusive hotels play as your wingman because they have their own clubs and evening activities such as salsa dancing classes where people are gathered to interact. If you are not in a budget look for an only-adult-hotel. It’s about 30% more expensive, but it’s worth it because all the hotel activities move around adult dating. If you want to go out, Coco Bongo and Señor Frogs are a must. Those are ‘gringo’ places, the point where young Americans go. And the best thing is that you can book at the front desk of your hotel. However, as a Mexican I’d recommend you to ask the bell boy for the hottest place in town at the moment, they can get you anything. Don’t care about women, Cancún is full packed of the all year long. In June you are going to find many Europeans, also French.

2. Isla Mujeres. A small island located North-East of Cancún. There are a few expensive all inclusive hotels and astonishing beaches. If you want to isolate from the rest of the World and do nothing but to eat, sunbathing and resting, this is the place you have to go. Game is very restricted here since you are basically going to find a lot of couples and senior tourists.

3. Puerto Morelos. South of Cancún, about 20 minutes by driving is located this small town which depends on the medium sized port of Morelos. Until recently a number of very expensive hotels located in the area. The beach is just stunning and if you are lucky you can spot marine turtles arriving to the beach. Outside the hotels everything is dead. No night life, no game.

4. Ciudad del Carmen is a nice place to go. It’s located 45 minutes South of Cancún by driving. It’s a little less expensive than Cancún and everything (hotels, restaurants, clubs, etc.) is located around a 3 mile front beach. By day go to Playa Mamitas (Mamitas’ Beach or Cuties’Beach), also to the Mamitas Beach Club ( http://www.mamitasbeachclub.com). This is the beach for young people, mostly American and European and upper middle class Mexican tourists. In the afternoon there are reggae and rock concerts and this attracts plenty of young pussy. South of this beach there are other beaches, where most of the people are Mexicans. However the main place to go is ‘La Quinta Avenida’, a narrow pedestrian avenue which crosses the city from South to North. You find ‘everything’. Restaurants, clubs, hotels, tattoo parlors, massage saloons, boutiques, etc. From 5 pm the environment gets charged and you can feel how everybody is looking for something and getting ready for the night. You see a lot of girls in packs walking down the place. A little tip: Ask for the ‘Hägen Dasz’ shop and you’ll find a lot of foreign girls in the place, also because there is a nice coffee shop next to it (and the fucking prices there are too high for Mexicans). In general Ciudad del Carmen attracts a lot of European tourists who contempt Cancun because ‘it looks like Miami and we came here to know Mexico’. A last tip about this place: In the ferry station you can contract a service that takes you to do scuba diving with the whale-sharks. Just in case you want some adventure.

I will continue tomorrow, I gotta go to sleep.

Hey OP im going to be in Playa Del Carmen from mid July through the end of the month in case you are still there by then. There's tons of data sheets in the forum from Cancun to Playa Del Carmen and that's where I did all my research.

Post: #6

Knowledge dropped. I co-sign the all inclusive. I stayed at the a 50 dollars a night spot across from the playboy casino in January. Walked across the street and walked about two miles down. Couldnt access the beach for shit. Ended up driving five miles down the walked the beach to the Rui???? Bishes everywhere. I had a piece with me so I didnt try to game or access the pool but everybody has a band around their wrist. Dont know how strict the security is though.

The clubs suck. 50 bucks for all you can drink but the beer is shit and its a long wait. You can still buy good beer and shits but you just dropped 30-50 to get in.

We took a boat to the island, saw turtles and dolphins, rented a golf cart. Alot of couples and not too many single women. January is good for Europeans and Canadians. I dont know how the island looks for June.

Remember to hit Playa too. Different vibe and more international.

Post: #7

So the consensus I'm getting is don't stay in Tulum for women, go for a all-inclusive in the Cancun area. Luvianka knows his shit, thanks man.

Edit: I did look at the data sheets, but the resort my group was suggesting isn't on there. Now I see why, its very couple orientated, but I'm going to Mexico to party obviously.

Post: #8

Didn't read all the replies but don't know why ppl are recommending Cancun. I thought the consensus is that its over priced and full of fat American chicks?

I would recommend Playa Del Carmen: it has the chicks, food, and beaches. And I don't see why you need to go all inclusive unless money is not an issue. I was staying at hotels in Playa for $40-ish a night and eating local food and beer. It ended up being a lot less expensive than I think Cancun would have been.

And we continue…

5. Puerto Aventuras. About 20 minutes South of Playa del Carmen by driving. This place is total and completely different from the rest. It’s a wired development with houses, apartments, two huge hotels and one microscopic marina total and completely isolated where the access is controlled. I took my parents to this place last year and we stayed in this condo. The name of the game here is the Catalonia Hotel, a huge, all inclusive hotel where about 90% of the guests are Europeans, mostly Spanish and French. The environment in the front beach is Mediterranean –Topless is the rule. Guests crowd in dozens of chairs to drink, smoke, talk and listen to music. Little girls, teens, young women, MILFs and old women take sunbaths topless. Now, topless is not allowed in Mexico, but in authorized nudist beaches, but since the place is isolated this practice is tolerated. Next to the Catalonia it’s the Omni Hotel another big all-inclusive adult only hotel. The rest of the place is basically dead. Problem with Puerto Aventuras is that most of the people who live or come here are retired Americans. There are two bars next to the marina and the scene you see is a bunch of old timers getting drunk and talking about the good old times. Just 5 minutes from Puerto Aventuras it’s Xpu-Ha, a stunning beach which is the place of choice for families. Aside from a few restaurants there is nothing else to do there after the afternoon. Summarizing: Puerto Aventuras is not a good option for game if you are not staying at the Catalonia or the Omni.

6. Akumal. Do you like turtles? Well, this place is for you, a world famous beach where turtles arrive to drop their eggs. The hotels here are very expensive, and the place is basically for families.

7. Tankah. If you drive 15 minutes South of Akumal you will find Tankah. And you will find more turtles!

8. Tulum. This place is an archeological site which contains the ruins of a temple built to honor Ixchel, the Mayan Godess of Fertility. Next to it there is a huge unbelievable jaw-dropping beach, you will feel you are diving into a gigantic swimming pool. The water is warm and you can go into the open sea 100 m and still touch the bottom with your feet. There are three beach clubs in the place. One of them (the one with big advertising signs of Corona Beer) has a kind of happy hour at 1 pm. There is reggae and salsa music and people gather around it after paying tribute to Godess Ixchel. Problem with Tulum is that since the beach is huge and very wide you feel the momentum of a crowded beach never comes. That is, the environment of a crowded beach full packed with pussy and game. Tulum is also the paradise of boutique hotels, that is, small hotels (up to 10 rooms) where guests are ‘pampered’, and irrationally overcharged for everything. Just don’t do it! Don’t you waste your money! A final tip about the place. Either you rent a car, a taxi or you are taken in a bus in a tourist package, you are going to access through the archeological site. Next to the access there is a stone road to the beaches. Taxi drivers are going to approach you offering you to take you to the beach. Don’t you take them! They are going to charge you $US15 just for just a half a mile distance.

9. Sian Ka’An. This is an ecological reserve, about 4 hours by driving from Cancún. I didn’t know there were hotels or touristic services there.

10. Xcaret. Five minutes South of Playa del Carmen it’s the aquatic park of Xcaret. The place is just paradise on Earth. Subterranean rivers, an aquarium, natural pools, a zoo, a lagoon for snorkeling, another lagoon to swim with stingrays and lemon sharks, another lagoon to swim with dolphins, an small but beautiful beach, high cuisine restaurants, etc. Here you will find pussy from all around the World, a little problem is the logistics. Basically, game is around the subterranean rivers where some girls get nervous in some points, and the ‘natural pools’ (they sculpted the ‘pools’ in the solid rock and are filled with the water that comes from the breaking waves). Game or no game, the place is worth at US$95 (buffet included).

11. Xel-Ha. Do you like snorkeling? This place is for you. It’s an aquatic park with a huge lagoon where you can snorkel among huge banks of fishes. For US$50 you will get access to the place and can eat and drink everything you want.

Now the first decision you need to make is what places you want to know. If you stay in Cancun you don’t need to rent a car because everything is at hand. Even if you want to know Xcaret or Xel-Ha you can buy the package that includes transportation. The bus picks you up at 6:30 am, takes you to the place and brings you back at 7:00 pm. Just ask for it at your hotel’s front desk. Besides the hotel beach, visit these public beaches: Chac Mool and Delfines, the beaches of choice of Spring breakers. http://gobluetours.com/spring-break-mexi...n/beaches.

If you want to visit the places South of Cancun, your better option is to stay at Playa del Carmen because it’s in the middle of everything but you’d need to rent a car, otherwise, you are going to pay a fortune in taxis.

I'm still thinking about going to Mexico city by the end of the year.

I m still scared about kidnapping in Mejico (maybe i'm wrong i dunnot know)

Still thinking about getting to my friend place (she lives in suburb with her family and since i heard about trafic jam... or taking an airbnb condo by myself.)

I also have another girl friend who can host me in Gudalajara.

Maybe going with some friend is a better idea than travelling alone in South america

No one is going to kidnap you in Mexico City.

By the way she lives in Human Capital suburb (someone know this place ?)


This article is kinda scary !

Mexico is in good position ;p

How the kidnaps typically play out: ”Express” and “virtual” varieties that target both locals and foreigners. Last year’s virtual kidnaps included a Spanish indie rock band visiting Mexico City to perform in a music festival and a U.S. citizen participating in an Ironman competition in Cozumel. The kidnappers demanded $380,000 for the band. Both of these incidents were relatively mild. The country’s kidnappers have a reputation for being particularly violent: 935 victims were killed between 1994 and 2008.

You guys mention all-inclusives... I had been previously told that was not the way to go, but I have never been. Any in particular you would recommend? I will be there for only 2 nights and obviously just looking for some action there.

Post: #14

You mentioned you were going mid June. During that time of year there are often grad trips that go to these "Caribbean" places, if you are staying at one of the large mega resorts there may be one there. Often the atmosphere on these trips is a ton of partying and girls making bad decisions.

In other words you will be in paradise!

At first, Mexico is not in South America

Mexican is not unsafe. I have traveled all over. The violence is mostly in the North closer to the US border, not in the tourist areas. The violence is just over played by the ignorant US media. I would 100% rather walk around with an iPhone in the decent parts of Mexico City then in the majority of large US cities. Even when the media reports kidnappings its rare and isolated and overall there is not as much violent crime in the good parts of large Mexican cities as in US cities.
