Sail to a secret pirate village in the heart of the Isla Mujeres with your gang of salty sea-dogs on the good ship, Caribbean Carnival. For Dutch courage there’s an open bar on board serving pina coladas, rum punch, margaritas and a host of local beverages and soft drinks. There’s a live pirate show when you arrive into the island and you’ll then have the chance to join in on a host of unique games and activities. For an authentic taste of the Caribbean there’s even a limbo competition. When the night’s over it’s time for your feet to touch dry land and for you to return to one of the cheap hotels in the city for a good night’s sleep.
Reminders of Cancun’s Mexican heritage are everywhere from the nearby ruins of Chichen Itza to the street stalls serving up tacos, but many forget that Cancun is also part of the Caribbean! The popular resort hotels and white-sand beaches might be a reminder as to where you are, but the Caribbean Carnaval is a celebration and claims to be 100% Caribbean right down to the lime daiquiris. The food on the buffet might not follow this completely follow this rule – the ship offers a selection of pasta dishes and meats but it’s certainly very tasty. All-you-can-drink cocktails kick off the evening as your ship sails onto Isla Mujeres, or Woman Island. End your evening dancing under the stars to a host of traditional Caribbean acts which include reggae, rumba and salsa musicians.
Cancun is a clubbers paradise and holidaymakers will find the bars and nightclubs offer a lot more than their usual fare, from acrobatics to light-shows; some even offer an all-you-can-drink cover charge to tempt in the revellers. However, why not treat yourself to a change of scenery one evening and enjoy a different kind of evening entertainment? Whether you choose to return back to one of the Mexico hotels or hit the night-clubs afterwards is entirely up to you:

After enduring a difficult few years, Mexico’s tourism industry is well on the road to recovery and now is a great time to visit. As a consequence of a fall in the number of visitors, many hotels and travel companies have opted to cut prices and offer bargain deals. Mexico hotels range from luxurious ex-haciendas to superb beachfront accommodation, and rates can be surprisingly competitive.
For something a little different this November, consider visiting Mexico for El Dia de Muerto, an annual festival in which families remember the dead. The origins of the Day of the Dead date back over 3000 years to Mexico’s pre-Hispanic indigenous civilisations, such as the Aztecs and the Maya. A popular place to see locals construct altars (ofrendas) and honour the dead with sugar skulls is against the backdrop of the islands of Lake Patzcuaro. Alternatively, the picturesque city of Oaxaca, famous for its high quality crafts and diverse indigenous population, boasts some of the most impressive ofrendas.
Alternatively, take a trip to the characterful seaside town of Campeche, celebrated for its pastel-coloured houses and charming colonial architecture. After a day spent sightseeing in this UNESCO World Heritage site, visitors can follow the locals to the vibrant seafront and sample some delicious Mexican street food or try their hand at a spot of salsa dancing.
A long-standing favourite with sun-lovers and party animals alike, the large coastal resort of Cancun has some the most modern and most luxurious Mexico hotels. With its great climate and a wide range of things to see and do, it is no wonder Cancun is such a popular destination. Tourists in Cancun can spend the day simply lounging on the beach, visiting the Mayan ruins of El Rey or even swimming with dolphins.
Whether you choose to check out Cancun or see the traditional rituals associated with the Day of the Dead, there are lots of great Mexico hotels, helping to guarantee a truly memorably holiday.
