Destination Spotlight: Cancun, Mexico

One of the most common questions I get from clients looking to book a vacation is "Where should we go?".  I thought it might be helpful to periodically spotlight different locations to help narrow down some options for your next vacation.  My hope is that you can learn more about these destinations and see if it is somewhere that might interest you... making planning your vacation a little easier.  With that said, the first destination that I thought I would highlight is one of the most popular vacation spots for my clients... Cancun, Mexico.


Cancun is located on the northeast coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.  Nestled on the Caribbean Sea, Cancun is composed of 14 miles of pristine white beaches (shaped like the number "7") and sees more than 240 days of sunshine.  This popular tourist destination has the most all-inclusive resort options, allowing guests to enjoy a variety of food, drinks & non-motorized water activities without worrying about a thing.  Whatever your needs are, there are plenty of resorts to choose from for families, couples or friends. 

Cancun is warm year-round, with an average temperature of 80 degrees.  It is typically hottest from May to September, with peak precipitation in October.  The sea temperatures are warm year round.  Peak season is December thru April and you will see slightly higher prices (airfare & hotel) during that time.

There is something for everyone in Cancun.  You can visit several archaeological sites, go on Jeep adventures or do a wide range of water activities like scuba diving or swimming with sea turtles or even sharks!  

Eight miles north of Cancun is the area of Isla Mujeres, a quaint fishing village.  Riviera Maya is at the southern end of Cancun and includes Playa del Carmen (don't miss shopping on 5th Avenue!), Puerto Aventuras & Akumal.  The island of Cozumel, home of one of the largest barrier reefs, is just a short boat ride away.  

Cancun also has an international airport, with flights from most major airlines.  Non-stop flights are available from more than 20 U.S. cities, including St. Louis, allowing you to fly to Cancun in just around 3 hours!
