I got a bobble head burro while in Cancun. While this statement makes me smile and my wife laugh you are probably saying to yourself right now, ”who cares, I don’t want a bobble head burro nor do I want to go to spring breaker heaven.”
Hopefully you will reconsider Cancun and even getting a bobble head burro with these 3 little insights.
1. Location Location Location
While the location of Cancun is usually for people who want the night life and activities compared to others who want rest and relaxation I want you to think outside of the box. First of all, the locations of most of resorts in Cancun are very close to the airport and transportation so you don’t have to spend forever on a transfer bus or in a taxi. Secondly, the beaches are very nice and although they may seem small compared to Riviera Maya you can still get sand in your feet and in your hair! Thirdly, shopping: In Cancun you are near everything! The Mexican outlet and malls are nearby for those cool souvenirs such as a bobble head burro or a nice hammock. McDonald’s, Starbucks and all the clubs are right there too if you did want to get out of resort/hotel mood for a few hours. 
2. Been there done that but have you?
It seems as if everyone and their brother have gone to Cancun at one point in their life. Nowadays the new cool locations are Riviera Maya or some other location such as Punta Cana. If you went to Cancun 2 years ago or 20 years ago a lot has changed. The hotel zone is still thriving and it’s not just because of spring breakers. I would recommend giving a Cancun a second look because it seems like every year something new is happening in this great location.
3. It isn’t all about spring break
Cancun is famous for Spring break and its spring breakers! If we all agree to this statement then we can come to the conclusion on a few things. First, Spring break takes please during Spring Break. If you want a great location without the spring break crowd then go to Cancun sometime other than Spring Break. My wife and I went in November and we didn’t see a single spring breaker although we did see some old people drinking a little too much from time to time! Secondly, spring breakers go to Cancun because the price is right. The typical college student doesn’t have much money and therefore if you are wanting to save a few bucks take a lesson from them and save yourself some cash and go to Cancun where it seems like everything is cheaper for the most part. Lastly, spring breakers go to where they feel comfortable. Most of the time you don’t really see spring breakers going out of their way to find some exotic location where they will save some cash and yet have a hard time getting round and making their way around town. If you are thinking of a great location where you can easily get around without the hassles of language problems and other travel issues than consider Cancun.
Whether your buy a bobble head burro or not I hope you will consider Cancun for your next trip. Not only is it a great location but it continues to change to meet the needs of clients and there is no need to worry about spring breakers as long as you aren’t going during spring break.
