If you’re looking for a destination with lively nightlife and a wide variety of activities to live out exciting adventures – or simply rest – taking your next vacation in Cancun would be a great idea.
That’s why we’re sharing a guide so you can plan your trip to this Mexican Caribbean destination and make the most of your stay—whether you’re going for a family plan, a romantic one, or with friends. Take note!
Tips for planning your vacation in Cancun
Choose your travel dates
If you want to enjoy warm weather with low humidity, without a doubt you should plan your visit between November and May, since during this period the temperature averages around 84°F and rainfall is lower, ideal for enjoying this destination. But if you’re chasing parties, traveling to this Mexican beach in April is ideal.
Also keep in mind that if you want a season with fewer tourists and more accessible prices, consider traveling in November, February, or March – months with low demand for both hotel and flight reservations.
Decide how you’ll get there
There are three ways to get to Cancun: by plane, car, and bus. Whatever transportation you choose to reach this beautiful Quintana Roo destination, remember that what matters is that you and your companions feel comfortable and relaxed during the journey.
Plan your activity itinerary
You might think new plans would run out quickly, but that’s not the case. The question what to do in Cancun doesn’t have just one answer, which has made this one of all travelers’ favorite FAVC destinations. There are lots of ways to have fun here, including:
- Activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, parasailing, paddle boarding, among others.
- Visits to eco-parks and archaeological zones.
- Enjoying the delicious culinary scene.
- Riding a semi-submarine or small boats to discover marine life.

Decide where you’ll stay
This beautiful coastal city has a wide variety of lodging options to suit every taste and budget. But if you have a vacation membership, you’ll be able to book a hotel with a great ocean view that may also include different entertainment options, restaurants, and nightlife.
Another tip: choose a hotel or resort in a strategic location so you can enjoy your activity plan—either because they’re included in your benefits or because it lets you reach them without complications.
Make sure to pack accordingly
Since it’s a destination famous for its warm weather, we recommend making sure to pack light clothing, a swimsuit, comfortable shoes for your walks on the sand, and above all, don’t forget sunscreen.
Research where to eat
While booking one of the FAVC hotels gives you access to food service, at some point you might want to try Cancun’s gastronomy; you can search online for a popular restaurant, or ask locals for recommendations according to your tastes and budget.
Disconnect and enjoy your stay
It might sound obvious, but if you’re looking to leave daily stress behind, make sure to set your phone aside and focus on creating memories with your family or partner. Also, make the most of all the activities you planned for your getaway.
Living a vacation in Cancun can be an unforgettable experience, where you’ll enjoy one of Mexico’s most fascinating destinations. So get ready to bask in the sun, sand, and extraordinary moments with your loved ones!
