Whether you’re a frequent visitor to the Mexican Caribbean, or you’re simply planning on going in the near future for that much-needed sunny break, you’re probably aware that the most dreaded time of year is fast-approaching: Sargassum season. Every year, from around late March to early October, the Caribbean Coast of Mexico is battered by …

Jam-packed resorts, shoulder-to-shoulder crowds in public beaches, and a growing sense of insecurity that wasn’t there 3 to 4 years ago. You’ve heard the stories before: Cancun is far from being the stress-free vacay many still idealize. That doesn’t mean the Mexican Caribbean as a whole should pay for the sins of its most famous …

Thinking of taking an impromptu winter trip to Mexico, but the likes of Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum don’t exactly float your boat? Though it’s often overlooked as a mere cruise stopover with not much more than duty-free shopping and a quick dip on the beach, Cozumel is the perfect island getaway if you’re …

If you’re traveling to Cancun in the near future, chances are some relaxation and week-round pampering in a five-star resort are top priorities for you, and listen, we totally get it: Cancun is practically synonymous with hassle-free tropical vacays, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add a little culture and nature exploration to the mix. …

Ahh, the Mexican Caribbean… its sun-kissed white sands hugged by teal-colored seas, the epic all-inclusive resorts where every single guest is treated like royalty, and the ancient Mayan World lying just beneath the surface, begging to be unearthed.

But hey, we’ve been there before, and we’ll be there again come winter, …

Breaking an unusually long four-year hiatus, direct flights from Las Vegas to Cancun are finally returning, but before you start drawing up those winter travel plans, hold your horses.

Fall is arguably the best period to visit Cancun if you’re hoping for smaller crowds and cheaper prices. After all, the July and August crowds are gone, hotels deliberately lower prices to attract more guests, and there are getaway deals galore… or are there?

Popular as Europe may be for city breaks and ancient culture, a significant number of Americans who are flying abroad this season will keep it ‘local’, or should we say, on this side of the Atlantic, and needless to say, Cancun’s on their radar—but what about all that pesky sargassum? As you might be aware, …

It’s that time of year again. After a glorious 3-4 months of perfectly clear coasts, we’re already seeing signs of sargassum proliferating off the coast of Cancun. A brown, smelly macroalgae originating in the Sargasso Sea, which many describe as smelling of rotten eggs once it washes ashore, is expected to arrive in the Mexican Caribbean in ‘large’ …

They did it again. For the second, third, fourth? We’re not even sure at this point, Mexico has concluded yet another calendar year with a record number of arrivals: that’s over 19 million foreign arrivals and a 16.6% increase over 2019. 2019, as you know, is the reference year for pre-health crisis figures.
