Things to do in Cancun, tell me your favorites

What are the best things to do in Cancun, Mexico? Well, this is a
question that everyone has to answer for themselves. While eco parks
are great and usually the first destination of tourists, the following
are my personal favorites. Please tell me what are you favorite
places to go and things to do in Cancun.

Ok, here is my starter list

Chicen Itza
I am a ruin junkie. So a visit to Chichen Itza is a must have. We
rented a car and went thru the free road (and not the toll road) to
Chichen. Along the way, we stopped at Mayan villages, and got to
interact with Mayan people (usually under 5 feet tall) who are the
friendliest in the world! You can also take a bus tour to Chichen
Itza. Make sure to bring plenty of water, as it can get very hot
there.

Cenotes: Ahhh... I can go back for Cenotes time and again. These are
underground fresh water holes, and offer great snorkeling and
sometimes diving. Seek them out and visit as many as you can.

Isla Mujeres: This is another of my favorites. This quaint town and
island is on my not miss list. The waters there are calm, clear, and
full of colorful fish. It is a must visit.

A side trip to Merida for a day or two. This town has lots of the
Spanish Colonial architecture that is associated with "old" Mexico.
There's also an open air market with more indigenous crafts and less of
the tourista chachcas made in China.

Playa del Carmen is more laid back than Cancun. If your idea is not an
All Inclusive mega resort but a hotel on the beach in a smaller scale
"Playa" is for you. If you want an AI on a smaller scale, you can find
these in Playa del Carmen and Playacar to the south.

The best thing I do in Cancun was swim with Dolphins in Delphinus
Rivera Maya is 15 min from Playa del Carmen. I really enjoy it, I got
impress, I found dolphins swimming freely in natural surrounding in
their pool, big accordance of dolphins.
We made a lot of activities kiss, hugs, swam around and the best foot
push where two dolphins pushed me at my feet across the pool. What a
feeling this is! In Delphinus treat with respect and love these magnify
creatures. Trainers are friendly and their relationship with dolphins
is great, something curious was that every dolphin in Delphinus get a
maya name.

The second thing I liked it was explorer Cenotes “Dos Ojos” 30 min from
playa nerby Tulum 15 min. where I can dive for 1 hour explorer the
magnify water (cold) we count with a guide who explained us Cenotes
history, about stalactite and stalagmite. We watched beautiful birds
“to” they get a long tale.

Riviera Maya is amazing

We also liked both Chichén-Itzá and swimming with the dolphins. They
were both better experiences than we expected. Photos just don't do
Chichén-Itzá any justice.

Playa del Carmen - slightly more laid back than Cancun, an inexpensive
ferry to Cozumel, shop keepers are willing to bargain lower than in
Cancun. Lots of small beautique hotels in town that are a clean,
inexpensive alternative to the All Inclusive Resorts. A closer drive to
Tulum, and Coba.
