Cancún is the definition of Spring Break and visiting the area around party season is certainly an experience you’ll never forget.
From unbelievable resort properties that you have to see to believe, to world-class entertainment, spectacular beaches, unrivalled daytime parties and nightlife, not to mention the copious opportunities for adventure, Cancún has everything you could want from your Spring Break destination.
The US/Canadian Spring Break ranges from mid-February through to mid-April and the most popular time to go is during the first three weeks of March (so book early to avoid disappointment).
Now, before you jet off for Mexico there’s one thing you should know: you definitely want to stay in the hotel zone – because that’s where all the fun is. If you look at a map, the Hotel zone is shaped like a big number 7. Where that 7 bends is the party centre. That is where the major bars, restaurants, clubs, and shopping is located.
If you are looking for the true “Spring Break party experience”, stay at either the Krystal (located right in the party centre) or at the Oasis Cancún. Those hotels are “college friendly” and are packed with spring breakers. They also hold day parties right on the beach with DJs and contests.
Club entrances for the big parties can be anywhere from $45 and up, but they are open bar for everyone inside. If there is a special event going on, like a concert, you could be paying $75 or more so make sure to bring some spending money if you want to have a great time.
