Way of life: Most everyone works hard day and night 6 days a week and then off on Sundays. You might not see them moving fast, they are very laid back and lack any urgency when it comes to time. That’s okay, you’re on vacation so go with it, don’t be early but be on time.

Tipping: Most people that are working in the tourism community around Cancun are bi-lingual and rely on their tips. If someone helps you don’t forget to tip somewhere between accordingly and generous so we can continue to receive great service.

Money: If you need an ATM use the ones located in a bank, less chance of having card fraud.

Safety: Cancun is one of the safest places in Mexico. Use the same caution as you would any city with 1 million people and you’ll be fine. Probably safer because trust me they don’t want to mess that up. Don’t walk alone at night, stay in a well lit area with other people around.

Value: You can stretch your Vacation dollar. Anyone that has been to Mexico knows that the cost of 1 week in Mexico compared to 1 week at Disney. Disney is 3 probably 4times more the price!

Planning: The most important Travel Tip I will always give is: The amount of effort you put into planning your vacation ahead of time, will be directly associated to the level of success and joyous memories you will be making.

Even if you stay at a resort that is an all inclusive, you have to plan packing, flight and transportation at the very least.
