I stayed at a resort and didn’t leave that much. I’d recommend. I had no safety concerns in the hotel, people were friendly for the most part. Make sure to tip the staff well :) Food is alright, probably better in town

It's my first solo travel and it's very safe. There are alot to explore in Cancun. I was even enjoying the circus show in the middle of the street. The food was very delicious. Isla Mujeres is a must visit Island.

United States
I stayed at an all inclusive resort for the 1st time for my 1st trip outside of the USA.it was the best food and sleep. I enjoyed the bottomless drinks. Clear ocean water. I would go back to the same resort for sure for the food! I stayed at Fiesta Americà Cancun
Posted: January 29, 2026Experienced: August, 2024Yeah, I stayed in a luxury hotel and then we went to do activities that were common there so it was fun. We didn’t spend much because as I said the hotel had almost everything. Then the activities were just above like normal activities. Then I did feel safe because I was with my family, but They are really nice. Very good people. It was fun. I enjoyed my stay. I also got sick but it was because of the weather.
Posted: April 15, 2025It was a good experience, and care should be taken with the places where you are. The food is delicious, but they always charge foreigners exorbitant prices, which was a downside. Sometimes, it's not very safe to go out at night and alone.

Colombia
We went to tulum, island mujeres, Xoximilco and xcaret. It was all fun but for us that we come from Colombia, it was kind of expensive because the prices were as is you were in the US. Other than that, the experience was very good, the people were nice and the places beautiful

I did cancun wrong, so I don’t have many tips other than: make sure to get a hostel right at the big resorts are (I believe the good one was called Tree Monkey). Definitely go to the big party in the famous club (that I forgot the name haha). There is also free pool parties (every Tuesday, I think). Or… jump in the boat and go to Isla Mujeres instead! GORGEOUS!! In front of cancun, more calm, nicer beaches and more accessible hostels/hotels. 10/10 would recommend over cancun.
Posted: July 25, 2024I would definitely make sure to go to the cenotes when in Cancun and also see the turtles. The water is absolutely beautiful and so so warm. I could just stay at the beach all vacation, but just make sure to bring a ton of sunscreen you will be getting some color
Posted: April 27, 2024My trip to Cancun was very amazing. I had a lot of fun. I met new people and I made new friends. And one thing that I like the most is that my house was very grate and very welcoming and they did everything. We asked.
Posted: March 13, 2024Cancún was my first trip with some of my friends without family and we had a great time! We stayed in this beautiful resort right on the beach (slightly pricey but imo worth it because breakfast was included and the four of us split the cost). We went to Isles Mujeres on a party boat which was SO MUCH fun! We got to explore the island, taste some good tequila, and go snorkeling as well. Another day we went to the Cenotes, and swam in the water. Then we went to the famous Chichén Itzá (you can...

Cancún is very safe especially in the hotel zone. It’s Americanized and has a lot of torism. People in this area specifically are very welcoming and warm. I haven’t had a bad interaction with the locals.
Posted: February 19, 2025Cancún is overall safe during the day, if you stay in downtown and don't go outside of the main center of the city. For example: Avenida nader, bonampak, near las americas mall or market 28 are safe during daylight but don't go to the areas where we call them la ciento (100,120) or even two hundred might be more dangerous. Even though it's mostly safe don't get distracted and always be ok the lookout for sketchy people or situations and even if you're on these safe areas, beware. Most important...
