No -- poor location. But if you must, see if you can snag a
Friends and Family rate. Personally, I'd look for a hotel between KM 7.5 and 16.5 on Kukulkan Blvd., the higher the number, the further removed you'll be from the epicenter of the nightlife.
Try Name Your Own Price bidding with Priceline, consulting Bidding For Travel first. It usually dishes out decent options at the 4* level such as the OMNI and the Hyatt for under $100, sometimes substantially so. Prices have been depressed ever since the swine flu outbreak.
How much should I consider when having dinner at a "good" restaurant? I mean for a good one like the standard of Hard Rock Cafe, T.G.I. Friday's, etc.
You'll find no shortage of American-chain restaurants in Cancun. Pretty much everywhere you look, in fact. They are, somewhat surprisingly for a first time visitor, slightly more expensive than their counterparts north of the border. If you want to save money and sample authentic Mexican fare, take the bus downtown.
I can oonly take my vacantion in the beginning of february. Is it a good season to visit Cancun? How is the weather? Is ot full of people that are going there to have party or it is more like a destination for couples in honey moon?
The weather will be fine. The partiers tend to descend upon Cancun in droves in March, during Spring Break, although you can always find some nightlife, if that's your thing, on any weekend.
A friend of mine suggested to visit Xel Ha, Xcaret, Chichen Itza, Tulun. What else do you suggest.
I enjoy a "
jungle tour." Plenty of operators, and the prices are always negotiable.
If you are a scuba diver, take the ferry across to Cozumel and enjoy one of the world's best reefs.
