Vacation in Mexico

Often when we talk about Mexico, we often talk specifically about beach resorts. Sophisticated travelers will immediately tell you that “beach Mexico” is not that Mexico at all. Here everything is light and beach vacation is not Mexico with its color.

The main differences between “beach Mexico” and the rest:

1. It is safer here - there are a lot of police
2. Here everything is for the tourist, even the prices)))
3. A lot of things are cooler here (when it comes to accommodation), although other parts of Mexico have developed quite a bit lately.

    Vacation in Mexico, beach vacation

          This is primarily the Yucantan coast on the Caribbean Sea, with a large beachfront and warm Caribbean sea. A large number of hotels are spread out here.

          There are basically three main places where tourists go:

1. Cancun – most of the time you will fly to Cancun Airport
2. Playa del Carmen (or Carmen Beach, in Russian)
3. Tulum – the airport is under active construction here.

          What are the differences between these major locations and which one should you choose for your vacation?

    Cancun

          Cancun is in 2 parts (if you can call it that):

1. The city – this is where the local population lives and there is nothing for a tourist to do. You will see here the usual life, dirty city (so it seemed to me) with Mexican flavor.
2. Spit on the coast of the Caribbean Sea – here are hotels and places of rest for tourists, hotels, shopping centers, restaurants, residential complexes overlooking the sea. This is where tourists go, here you can settle in a hotel or apartments.

    Playa del Carmen

         It is a small town on the coast. The main part of the city is completely centered on tourists. There are a lot of different apartments built here. It has the worst of the beaches, if you choose between   Tulum and Cancun, as far as I’m concerned, but the best town for walking and restaurants.

    Tulum

         Tulum is similar to Cancun in that there is a conventional division into the city itself (for locals) and places for tourists. But still these cities are different in that in Tulum there are places where there   are many apartments where tourists live and these apartments are mostly in the urban part, as well as the beach coast, with quite a few rooms. The beaches and character of Tulum itself is 100%    different from Cancun.
